[Boatanchors] Ham Radio Estate Sales and Hamfest finds

[Pete Lancashire]

zillion years ago when I use to go to Dayton, I witnessed an OT that I
guess hired at least 3 youngsters. He would make a deal and go to the
next table. Leaving his mules to pay, and take his finds. They were
constantly running back and forth like bees.

I say OT since I was somewhere between 16 and 19 at the time.

My friend walked up and looked in the still half full trunk and pulled out a National 1" scope, right over my head.  $10. the seller told him.
