Today I went along to the Newbury & District Amateur Radio Society Boot Sale just on the northern edge of Newbury with Terry (G0LUQ) and my Dad (M3JFM) we left Oxford at 8am thinking that the A34 would probably be busy but we got that completely wrong and managed to drive down within 30mins!

Thankfully we were lucky to have good weather sunny and warm if you had the sun in your face, on arrival we went along to the Oxford and DARS pitch to see what they were flogging 🙂 and have a chat.

By 9am the boot sale was getting busy and there was lots of things on sale some bargains some junk (Hey you get that anywhere!) although I didn’t pick up anything Dad found a few things which he was after and also picked up a Softrock SDR receiver for 40/80 as I couldn’t get mine to work!

Over all was a great day out, was nice to meet up with friends and catch up with the news, we left around 1:30pm and arrived back into Oxford in good time.
