All, Even though it wasn’t quite the same it was great to see everybody, and thanks again to the Festmeisters for pulling off an excellent virtual ‘Fest! I have to agree about the twinge of sadness. For me the ‘Fest is a welcome break and I enjoy the social aspect of it as much or more than

An update for those of you who viewed my presentation on premium radios.  The JRC NRD-95 receiver that was still live on the Japan auction site as we were in our session, finally sold for $5,395 -- this is likely a record price for a JRC receiver on the used market.  (For those wondering, I did

    Thanks to John, Rich and the rest of the crew for making a great fest. I hope that the fest can resume in person next year and that the virtual            fest can continue on Zoom.  Both environments have lots to offer as the fest goes from strength to strength. Kudos to everyone

Hi - For me, probably the most significant sign that this “virtual” Fest was not really all that virtual at all is that little tinge of sadness and melancholy I usually feel at the end of each year’s edition. It was there again as I hit the “leave” button on ZOOM at around 1:30 this morning.
