[Boatanchors] Fort Wayne Hamfest

[Ed Berbari]

All,

Went to the Fort Wayne Hamfest this morning - I've been attending it for the last 10 years or so.  It has been getting smaller the past few years; just using one of the two large arena sized rooms that have been used in the past.  That said, this was a banner year for boatanchors.  Saw at least 4 75A4's, quite a few Hammarlunds from SP-600 to HQ-120, HQ150, HQ170, and several HQ-129's.  Quite a bit of high quality Hallicrafters gear (although not really my passion); a real range of E.F Johnson transmitters.  Could not count the amount of Heathkit stuff.  Several large tube vendors and lots of junk box stuff. I am 59 and everybody selling this stuff had me by at least 10 years.  Good conversations and saw some old friends.  I went up with Russ (N9IV).

I really enjoyed the time there, but did not buy anything significant.  

Ed, W9EJB
