2015 Utah VHF Society Swap Meet

Announcing the 2015 
Utah VHF Society Swap Meet


The 2015 Utah VHF Society Swapmeet will be held on Saturday, February 28, 2015 in Farmington at the Davis County Fair Park Legacy Events Center with the doors opening at 9:00 AM.  If you are a vendor and are paying for a table/spot, you may enter at 8 AM.

This is the same place as last year - and the year before.

If you are a paid-up member of the Utah VHF Society, admission is free.

If you are non member, you have two options:


  • $12 at the door and become a member and get a booklet.  The "Family" rate is $20, covering all those who live at the same address.  There is also a "lifetime" membership rate - ask a Utah VHF Society officer for details!
  • $5 at the door (or $3 if you are 12 or under) and you do not get a booklet.



For directions on getting to the Utah VHF Swap Meet, go to this handy, printable page:


You may also refer to the Utah VHF Society Blogspot entry about the 2015 swapmeet - found here!


"Re-Up" your Utah VHF Society Membership before the Swap Meet and avoid the line!

We recommend that you join or "Re-Up" your Utah VHF Society Membership before the swap meet (as in NOW) so that you are on the membership list when you get to the door.  That way, all they need to do is check you off, stamp your hand and give you your nice, shiny UVHFS booklet and let you in while those that didn't do this stand in the other, slower line!

For information about how to join or renew your membership with the Utah VHF Society, go to the "How to Join or Renew UVHFS Membership" page and when there, you can even see when your Utah VHF Society membership expires!


"How do I get my booklet?"

If you don't think that you will be able to get the the Swap Meet - and you have paid (or will have paid) for your Utah VHF Society membership - don't worry:  We will have have a booklet for you - contact the Utah VHF Society president for the best way to get it to you!

We hope to see you at the 2015 swap meet!
