Dayton Hamvention 2026 BONEYARD Part 1 | Flea Market Gold, Junk & Rare Ham Radio Finds

Welcome to Part 1 of our massive walkthrough of the legendary Hamvention Boneyard at Dayton Hamvention 2026. This is where old radios, rare gear, forgotten technology, military surplus, antennas, tubes, test equipment, vintage electronics, and unbelievable bargains all come together in one giant flea market experience. Some call it junk. Others call it treasure. Join HamShackTV as we explore row after row of the famous outdoor flea market at the Greene County Fairgrounds in Xenia, Ohio. You never know what you’ll find in the boneyard — classic HF rigs, handhelds, amplifiers, vintage microphones, hard-to-find parts, or maybe that one radio you regret selling years ago. This is only Part 1. More Hamvention flea market coverage is on the way.
