Probably no Collins goodies this time unless someone wants the KWM-380
station. Though I will bring along a few Lumiline 40w bulbs that fit
the 312A speaker and some of their BC transmitters. Very reasonably
priced.

Will be hauling along a lot of other gear including an Altec Lansing
mono amp, Gonset GC-105 Communicator, Bud cabinets, numerous tube-type
11m transceivers (great for 10m projects), an Eico cap tester,
Heathkit Isolation transformer, a couple Halli parts sets (SX-42 &
S-27), Farnsworth & other AA5 plastic sets, numerous milsurplus pieces
listed on that list, etc etc. It just never ends!

TNX to you Nick, JP, Rich, and the others who made the trip on behalf
of the entire crew to deal with that foolish 'Land Rush' selling space
nonsense.

Looking forward to it. Hope to see a lot of you there.
