away.....but any plans from anyone for Dayton 2008? Drake Forum? et.al.

John,
Wish I could have made that event! Sounds like it was a lot of
fun. Getting things on the Internet isn't as much fun, and the
prices are sure higher online. Hard to figure, the swap nets have
people of generally high integrity, and reasonable prices, yet
people continue to pay more for less quality on Upay, I mean
eBay. Strange but that's the way it is, hi hi.
Look forward to seeing you at Hamvention 2008, if I'm not a Silent
Key before then.

Thise who missed this one really missed a great gathering. The WX
was absolutely perfect, All the flea market spaces were full and the
auction went on for way over three hours. The food could be custom
ordered and was delivered on time, or you could purchase pizza by
the slice as long as it lasted. Soft drinks and water were abailable
all day. Rest rooms (at least the men's) were clea, t here was
plenty of hot water, TP and towels.
Spotted in the flea market was a pair of SX-28s, an SX-111, a
National 77 special, an NC-300, Hammarlund Super Pro with PS,
PE-103 with base, DM-1000, and several other pieces of surplus gear.
Lots of tubes, small parts and paper. The rest was mainly antique
and more recent tabletop and console radios, lots of test equipment,
etc. Prices for the most part were sownright reasonable.
The auction was awsome. There was almost more stuff than were was
room for people. Amont the items auctioned in addition to console
and table top radios and phonographs were lots of surplus gear, pre
recorded audio and video tapes, records, scopes. meters, including a
Simpson 260 with box and probes, sighnal generators, tube testers,
wlaborate junque boxes, large quantities of receiving and
transmitting tubes including many 811s, 833s, 1625s, 807s 829s,
832s, MV rectifiers including 866s and 872s and much m ore.
Unfortunately, the few audiofools present drove the prices of 6L6s,
KT-66s, 5881s, 6V6s and other audio types way out of range of the
average attendee. Also auctioned off were an unbuilt Heathkit DX-60,
Color TV set and a home controller kit. There were several
transmitters including an Ameco. There was some kind of commercial
Collins transceiver which went for big bux.
All in all, it was tremendous and as far as I know, everyone went away happy.
