hamfest
A (usually annual) gathering of old, stinky, unwashed, and severely overweight men (with a limited number of women, usually of the same qualities) where
antiquated and largely useless radio equipment is bought, sold, and
traded, usually at exorbitantly high prices.While some hamfests are useful for finding odd parts and rare equipment, many have
degraded in quality over the years and are not worth going to any more.
