Our new retail store is open.

Please read through the following information before you call or visit!

For your convenience, we've opened a retail store in Meriden, CT.

Since we expect to maintain a full schedule of Hamfests through the year,
store hours will be limited.  Click here for our Hamfest Schedule
As you can see, there are very few weekends available, so we'll be open mostly during the week.  We hope to stay open at least one evening until 7:00 PM. or later, generally Thursday.

We will not be selling new radios.  We suggest contacting our good friends at KJI Electronics for your needs.

You won't find fancy fixtures, and showcases.  If you've seen our display at any Hamfest in the Northeast, you know what to expect.  As time goes on, we'll be expanding our selection to better accommodate your needs.  For now, most all of the items on our Web Site will be available.

You will find Anderson Powerpoles and assembled cables; a wide variety of DC Power cables and accessories; ladder line, coax cables and jumpers in several sizes and lengths; antenna wire of many types; high quality antenna rope, pulleys, and insulators; baluns; speaker mics and speakers; antenna mounts for almost any vehicle; HF, VHF, and UHF antennas for base, mobile, and portable use; connectors and adapters for most RF cables; tools, SWR meters and voltmeters; plus plenty of other handy items and gadgets to make Ham radio more fun. 

But even more important, you will find honest and knowledgeable advice and service from experienced hams who live by a few simple rules:

1. Treat the customer the way we would like to be treated
2. Never sell anything we would not use ourselves
3. When in doubt, refer to rules 1 and 2.

Can we be clearer?

If we answer the phone, we're there.  If we don't, chances are good that we're off to a Hamfest, visiting a supplier, running errands, or even <gasp> taking a day off. 
You may wish to check in advance that the items you need are in stock.

Here are easy directions:

Note:  Mapquest, GPS, friends, "helpful" guys on the repeater, etc. may recommend different routes.  Unless you know Meriden well -- for example, you know the difference between South Colony Street, Colony Street, North Colony Street, North Colony Rd, Old Colony Rd, Old North Colony Rd, Colony Heights, and Colony Place -- and you know where Perkins Street is, even though it doesn't really exist any more -- we strongly suggest that you follow the directions below.
