Do you pay for a table space? And is it numbered?  That would return another clue.

gud luck,

The fellow in the blue shirt is Gregg Fitch, KB1EZJ. He's prez at White Mt ARC in Conway NH.  Site is w1mwv.com, and you'll find contact info there.

Yep great info guys!

Except for one little thing.
Oopsy.

I'm curious/interested in the guy next to them, in specific the two boxes
stacked on the little table, looks like the awning from an RV on the right, rug on the
ground.

No biggie... probably they are not what I think they might be anyhow.

Welllll.  If you can't give a better clue than that, it's hard to give better info.  Dontcha suppose that Greg might possibly know the neighbor guy?  Worth a try.  What would Inspector Columbo do in a case like this?  Yep, he'd follow the leads.  Get out your trenchcoat and cigar....

Not that I am aware of.
It's first come, first served for the most part, especially outside down the hill...

Unless it's changed, there are no spaces. Set up where you like.

Ok.... well that avenue of discovery is closed.

Bear,
They look like HP spectrum analyzers. At first I thought they were vector network analyzers  like a 8753 but they are single port.

Is the distortion low enough?

That would be the question that would be answered with the VP7725...
But the short version is that once you start dorking with hifi amplifiers, be they opamp level or
speaker power level that are <0.001%, then yes, you can not have too good of a distortion
analyzer. If you want to know what is going on... and, yes, there are audible differences
in opamps and power amps that measure steady state <0.001%THD. Nothing of interest
for ham applications though.
