I'd have to agree with  you John.  It was a nice day; the humidity
kept away at least until noon when we left.

I was surprised at the lack of decent BA gear that I've come to expect
at Berryville.    I saw no B&W transmitters or larger Hallicrafters
gear (SX-101 and HT-32 class).   Don't recall if I saw anything
National at all.

My biggest "finds" were a KW class random wire tuner for $5 (cobwebs
included) and a pair of octal tube extenders . Other than that, I just
stocked up on odd's and ends, and had the pleasure of chatting with
some of the AMers down there.

Dusty?  Oh yeah.  At least this year the golf cart didn't try to kill me........

What happened to the "Peanut Man" ??  Haven't seen him for a few years.
