With farm work to do I let the first day slip past me inadvertently. Today I was fashionably late (half an hour) but I got the AReU table and set it up quickly. I roamed around a bit and I bought mostly small antenna stuff things. I got a full set of Millen GDO coils in the original black wrinkle stand that I will adapt to coils used with the miniVNA, (for $1.00 I need more cheap junk) Everyone packed up, so I did also and I left at 1:30 pm, a good time was had by all.
