AREG Amateur Radio & Electronics Sale – Saturday November 21st 2026

Posted on by

AREG is pleased to announce that our yearly Radio & Electronics car boot sale has begun planning for 2026! We are very pleased this year to already have commitments from Comtek in Perth, and VK Radio in Melbourne to come to Adelaide for the event. We also are already accomulating quite a range of door and raffle ticket prizes to award on the day, including another Codan 9350 Mobile HF ATU thanks to HF Radio Solutions and some gift vouchers thanks to Mark from TET-Emtron in Perth. The WIA VK5 Inwards QSL bureau, operated by AREG, will also be there for you to collect your cards!

How can I book a site as a seller?

If you would like to book a site at the event to sell your wares, please send us an email to vk5arg@areg.org.au with your request. Single car sellers are $10/park and include the entry fee for up to two people. If you are bringing a trailer, it is an additional $5.

Car park seller gates will open at 9.30am. Exhibitors inside the hall will be able to enter earlier by arrangement. As per previous years we invite the radio clubs of Adelaide to come along and mount a display of their activities as well. This is a great opportunity to introduce amateur radio to the public!
