I agree. Some photos would be cool.

I wish there were more east coast ham fests, but I'll have to wait till MIT this summer, Dayton, and Rochester of course. Buffalo hamfest continually sucks. Isn't worth the $2 in tools to get out there.

If I remember, you would have to take the 105 or the 405 and either get off on Avation Bl. or Rosecrane in Redondo Beach Then, its at the
corners of Aviation Bl. and Marine Ave
Hope that helps, but u should remember once u get in the area, just find the hundreads of TRW building lol

Also there website had some picture of past TRW's http://w6trw.com/swapmeet/swapmeet_photos.htm

I think it's easier to just drive either way on the 405 just south of the airport and around 6:30-7:00AM just follow the line of vehicles covered in antennas.

If I can make it to TRW, it will be my first time going... I've only been serious about radios (as a hobbie) for a year. I'm thinking of chancing it, and driving out there. Maybe meet BATTEAM west. :D

There's a closer one.... Right off of the 405 freeway on Inglewood Ave Just south of Marine ave, on the west side of the street.

I'll be at the swap meet tomorrow. If you spot a guy wearing a red T-shirt, bib overalls and a pony tail, it's probably me.
