We went on the Saturday. Most of the good used equipment seemed to have been sold on the Friday. Nice day out, but very tiring. Also missed the RUclipsrs doing there videos. Did shake hands with Martin Lynch and thanked him for the video's. Have fun. David M0DUU
It's quite easy to be anonymous at a rally. Most think I'm on a tx when I talk. I have a friend with me and he backs me so I can video as best I can. I use a dedicated hi-res phone to film but most people don't notice or don't care. This particular video could have been longer with more stalls and societies on it, but even though I'm verified and have two active channels etc. RUclips still restricts me to 15 minutes. I've reported it but no joy getting it fixed.
Looks like the Friday was the better day, we went on Saturday and there wasn't much on the outside stalls. It's the first rally I've been to since the 90's and I wish there had been a bit more to see, we should maybe try and combine some of the Maker/HackSpace groups so there's more to see and get possibly get involved in as well as introducing people from different interests to ham radio and vice versa.
I expected the outside area would be smaller. Sellers were wary of the weather as rain was forecast. The outside was half the size it has been in previous years. I'm afraid rallies are getting smaller and many are disappearing. I try to go to as many different ones as I can depending on where I am at the time. Mixing stuff up would be good but when computers were added to rallies there were many against their inclusion. I'm old enough to remember the great days of Granby Halls, Leicester and the London rallies.
