...Phil Title: Re: Shelby Hamfest Post by: W4EWH on August 23, 2018, 12:18:12 AM There will be five or six hams from Burnsville, NC going there this year.
Title: Re: Shelby Hamfest Post by: K4NYW on August 23, 2018, 12:26:12 PM There are about 20 of us who tailgate together in the "Boatanchors!" banner area.
Weather forecast looks pretty good so far. For photos of past Shelby hamfests, see http://www.virhistory.com/ham/index.html#shelby See you there!

The boatanchors were out in full force. I have posted about 200 photos here - http://www.virhistory.com/ham/shelby_2018.htm Lots of Hammarlund at reasonable prices ($75 for working HQ-170). Lots of Heathkits, both SB series and Mohawk/Apache line. Lots of Johnson transmitters, Lots of Collins R-388 receivers, as well as many R-390 and R-390A The usual assortment of Drakes and S-line And there were some rara avis as well... Title: Re: Shelby Hamfest Post by: KC4VWU on September 02, 2018, 07:03:56 PM Thanks for posting the photos, Nick. Not having a chance to leave my tables, I didn't get to see much at all until now. Man, there sure were quite a few goodies down there this year! Only thing I came back with was a complete Viking II cabinet; a new home for the V one chassis that's here to re-work, so I managed to buy only what was needed. Excellent!

R-388 came back home with me... oh well. |
