On February 6th, 2010 I hope that you can join me and the Niagara Peninsula Amateur Radio Club at the "Big Event". This year the group has planned to host vendors from across the country and beyond. Even some big corporate vendors, like Durham Radio, RadioWorld, and MapleLeafCom Radio will be there. Lots of HAM operators and plenty of great deals.

From what I have heard the swap meet will be even bigger this year with a great deal of equipment being made available at unbelievable prices.

Sure, this may not sound like the kind of event for you - the average viewer of my website that is probably not an amateur radio operator or even a commercial radio vendor - but your support is needed. NPARC as an institution and affiliate to RAC and ARES has been the best at promoting emergency services, radio-sport and the greater hobby in Niagara. Even if you don't find something you or the budding amateur in your family is interested in at least you got some food and probably learnt something you didn't know before.

You can join NPARC and the Big Event 32 at:

Merritton Community Centre
