Dateline Sussex New Joisey...
Was hot. Somehow the
sun in Sussicks is always brighter and hotter than anywhere else.
While it wasn't super hot air temp wise, the sun was brutal.
I used sunblock, umbrella, and drank lots O'water.
Turnout for sellers was larger than I personally have ever seen there. All the rows were
populated... quite a lot of BO-tankers... there had been some indications that the remaining Joe Cro,
Vortex gear was to be there, but I saw no sign of that.
Had to be 3x what it typically was... not maybe as big as NEARFEST, but pretty darn good.
I took no pix.
But, you'd only see the usual rows of tables and gear... to see the whole thing somone
would have had to snap each table more or less. I was at my booth except for two walk-abouts
to scan the booty. Did not find much that I could spot quickly that I needed.
Found a D-104 that upon arrival home, turns out to have a good sounding head. Yay.
Price was OK.
Brought with me: DX-100B, SX-28, HQ-129X, 2 x Rangers, SP-600 JX-14, HRO VHF receiver, Kenmore TS-680S,
SX-101A... sold everything but the 129 and the Rangers. Most of it sold in the last hour before I pulled
out after noon. Pleasantly surprised.
Ran into quite a few AMers... including Nick KG2IR, Howie (Nicks friend, what's his call?), Carl PKD, Brown W1NZR, Dave W2VW,
Billy BTK (along with Dave and a couple others), Paul KD2IWC, and Steve W2TRH made the trip down with me. Sorry I know I
missed a bunch of people in that list... Oh yeah, Mike k3FEF who bought a big tower beacon...
N3JUH, Jim had said he was coming, but I did not spot him.
Steve TRH came away with the ultimate transmitter!
The rare and
wonderful Supreme transmitter!
Yes, that is the brand, check ur old 1949 QST, etc.
MORE POUNDS PER WATT than any other!! (at least in the <100watt class).
