http://www.virhistory.com/ham/rich-18.htm Pretty good turnout of vintage equipment and vintage hams. Title: Re: Richmond VA hamfest photos Post by: WBear2GCR on February 05, 2018, 06:35:18 PM The "southern mix" is always somewhat different than the "northeastern mix".
I see a few things that might have followed me home! :D Title: Re: Richmond VA hamfest photos Post by: W1AEX on February 07, 2018, 12:17:21 PM Thanks for sharing the pics. Looks like lots of good stuff was on display and I see a bunch of things that I'm sure I would not have been able to resist.

Thanks for the "eye candy"! Wish I could have made it. Were the four horsemen in attendance? Hi! Saw the Polaroid on your table and it brings back memories. I was stuck with the Kodak Colorburst; probably still kicking around here in a box somewhere after 40+ years. Never sent it back on the trade in; Kodak wanted to stick people with another lemon... the Disc camera. Geeesh!

Was surprised not to see you there, almost in your backyard. Even brought a receiver for you, a WWII Navy RAK-8 with matching supply and cable. Some feller came by who liked it well enough to take home, which made me happy - didn't have to re-load it and haul it back up here! Didn't seem like quite as much good stuff this year, though there was still a lot. Someone was even selling Horse Feed! A whole table, horse posters, samples, etc. That's gotta be a first. Only horse-related stuff I've ever encountered at a hamfest was the previously used/recycled version...

I founds a few parts and a pair of 304TL's for the homebrew rig. I was told the SX-28 sold for $100. I didn't lift the lid, but the outside looked decent. I bought a red Gatorade from the food area and it dyed my lips bright red! I didn't know it until I got in the truck to leave and glanced in the rear view mirror. It probably looked like it was wearing lipstick! ;D Other than that it was a great time.
