My wife and I are planning a trip to New England within a year or so. There are only small radio events around here. I would like to make at least one major event or if possible two. We prefer off season travel but can be flexible. Planned stops on this trip include Philadelphia, Albany NY and Rochester NY. Then all of New England from there. We are driving from Oklahoma.
Any suggestions?

Depending on time of travel -- check the NEARC website for date and times --we have 3 shows a year -- next one is June 2 -- then there is one in the fall and one early spring (late Feb or March) -- There is also a ham event called Nearfest at the Deerfield fair grounds twice a year -- spring and fall -- also with a website
All in New Hampshire

There are numerous great electronics/ham radio-related swapmeets in the New England area. A particular favorite of mine is the MIT Swapfest, which occurs on the third Sunday of every month between April and October (next one is April 15th). As Griz mentioned, the next NEARC show is on June 2nd in Brookline, NH; you just missed the big 'Radio 49' show a few weeks ago. As for NEAR-Fest, the next one of those will be held on May 4th and 5th in Deerfield, NH. A good list of electronics-related swapmeets in the New England area can be found here. Happy hunting!  -Adam

Most will say Kutztown is best show in the hobby and is close to Philly, not sure of the dates.

Try and make one of the Kutztown events... plenty to see, lots of radionuts to talk to, plenty of eat places, lots and LOTS of camaraderie, and two times a year for your convenience!!!

Sounds like Kutztown needs to be on the agenda. Now to overlay the two dates with other events and see which works best. We will likely be around there two weeks or longer.
Thanks for the tips and links!

If you'll be in the Rochester NY area on a Tuesday or Saturday, the AWA museum will be open. Also the evening of August 15th, at the start of the AWA convention
