Shelby NC hamfest photos

[K4NYW]

Hurricane threats kept a lot of people away I guess as the turnout was much smaller than past years. Still plenty of boatanchor gear on offer, though!
Thursday was hot and sunny but only a handful of people set up. Friday had cold rain off and on with a few more folks set up between drizzles. Saturday dawned clear and cool - perfect hamfest weather!

Please chime in with your own observations about the crowds, equipment, etc.
Cheers,

Thanks Nick for posting all those great pictures.  Some of the gear looks very clean and I see a nice Elmac A-54 that is in pretty nice shape and with a little cabinet work could be made pristine.  Larry-NE1S runs an A-54 in his vintage Ford Falcon.    You see a lot of AF-67's but not that many A-54's.

Hi all:

I visited Roger K1MBX and attended the flea. Many interesting items for sale, but I thought the buyer attendance was light. Roger purchased what the guy had in the back of his car as seen here. An RME6900, Ranger, DB23 preselector and a frequency counter. All essentially worked.

The RME DB23 is actually a pretty good preselector. Wanna find one locally.
