 Elise and I met sometime around 9AM.  I got there about 7:30, paid $3 to the parking meter.  Got coffee, walked through the sellers area to the far end and back and was on my way out.
There was a wide assortment of odd cables for computers, antennas and other things.   Flat panel TV's.   Oscilloscopes with CRT's. 
Met some people I hadn't seen since in several years.  Found a few odd things that I might use.  Was really tempted by a very nice Orion telescope.  New with all the accessories it probably cost $2000.  The seller wanted it gone and said $250 would be good.   I kept thinking about it, but it was rather big and when would I find time to use it. Later, I was happy to see someone else was taking it to a new home.

 Thank you for the reminder, Elise.  I'm forwarding this notice after the
June event (which Paul Zander said he would also be attending), but it
recurs each month outside the rainy season (the final one of the year
being September).

It's now in West Valley College's spacious parking lot 3 in Saratoga.

As befits the term "flea market", you will find some incredible deals
and also a lot of stuff that will remain unloved by you but perhaps appeal 
to others.  Despite sponsorship by volunteer ham radio groups, this
event has a broad range of electronics gear and components.  I've found
some real treasures there, over the years, cheap.

My profound thanks to ASVARO and the local ham clubs.

Hi Rick,
    Readers of this email list, if they are in the SF Bay Area, may want
to attend today’s Electronic Flea Market at West Valley College from 6 am
to noon.
I plan to go there myself.
These monthly events are fun for me.  I buy a donut and shmooze with ham
radio friends. Sometimes I even buy something else, like a hat.
Not held in the winter.
Each month a different ham radio club benefits.
In July, the Foothill Amateur Radio Society, FARS, will benefit. I am a
board member of FARS. I was asked to become one.

Thank you for all you do,
Elise Scher
