THE W6TRW ARC SWAPMEET
Address:
http://www.w6trw.com/swapmeet/w6trw_arc_swapmeet.htm

Well, now we know when it is.

Any guesses on which state?


You must not have:

(1) Visited the web link.

(2) Realized that a '6' call is going to be California.

This particular swap is in Lawndale, CA, southwest of Los Angeles.


1) It does not make sense for me (or anyone) to visit the link of
every one of these in case it is nearby. Posters should realize that
their message is going to people all over the world, and provide some
details.

2) There are a number of hams who have moved since receiving their
license, who keep their original call, so that is not completely
useful for location.

Even so, I hear California is a large place. Just adding "Los Angeles
area" or whatever to the original message would have made it far more
useful for potential visitors.

Happy trails,
