The signal was strong and clear at the Texas Broadcasting Museum Saturday, and more than 150 people tuned in for the first ham radio and electronics tailgate swap meet in Kilgore. Organized by the Longview East Texas Amateur Radio Club, the event at Kilgore's newest museum was well-underway as the sun rose over downtown Kilgore, with more than 20 ham radio enthusiasts taking a space in the parking lot of Chuck Conrad's 416 E. Main Street venue. In the next few hours, ham radio aficionados were in a bustling buy-sell-trade mode as they sought deals on new, vintage and hard-to-find electronics. Reached via the airwaves, visitors came to Kilgore for the event from as far as Minden, Lousiana to the east and Fort Worth to the west. "This is not your grandfather's ham radio," said LETARC President Jim Quinn. "We're attracting a lot of new people for the various things we can do with it ... The young crowd likes the computer communications."
