The GMS/QBE table before/during/after. Joe & Martha sold or gave away everything they brought - much of it in the first half hour of the event.

AMers and other well-known hams at the 'fest. Was good seeing Tim/W3TIM again after a year or two.

Nick/K4NYW is the talent behind the endless supply of excellent photos, manuals, and other information at navy-radio.com which is well worth visiting. Just be sure you've got a few hours to spend.

Good ambush shot of JP/K4OZY who I hadn't seen since this 'fest last year. JP runs the excellent repository for TMC and other manuals at jptronics.org.

Bill/KA8WTK gets the award for furthest distance traveled coming from Tallmadge, OH.

Stephanie/WX3K was also there from PA.

Fran/W3SCC who made the trip from Hagerstown MD. Missed a few folks who said they were planning to attend. Maybe next time?

Thanks, fixed it!

One last shot of an OT being reunited with his first receiver, a Halli S-53A from the GMS collection. It was the last item on the table and when Joe found out the guy looking at it had started out using a S-53A model, he gifted it to him.

Not a bad way to end the 'fest.

Thanks Steve and Todd for posting all those great pictures!  Martha and I had a blast and looking forward to attending again next year.  All tables were sold out from what I was told.  A fantastic group of people and the social aspect these days is always the highlight for me.     

All the pictures were great, but I especially liked the photo of the 1A which took great restraint for me  to pass this one up.  Thought about this receiver a lot on the trip home.  I guess I am just getting more analytic in my decision to buy things these days since I already have plenty. 

I guess the next one will be Raleigh!

This week in CT gas prices has been quite volatile.    First record lows, then record highs then record lows again.

That is what I paid two weeks ago driving home from Virginia.  $1.439 on I-85 SC exit 105, just across the border from NC.

Great shots Nick. Some of those I don't recall seeing - like the Wells Gardner.
