[Boatanchors] Fw: Richmond VA hamfest report

[David Knepper]

I am forming the opinion that hamfests are mobile classic radio roadshows 
meant to give the old-timers a walk down memory lane.  "Well dog-gone I 
thought I would never cast my tired old eyes on a Viking I again.  Makes my 
heart skip a beat."  "Oh, there is a BC-348 that I used on a B-17 over 
Europe."

Thanks, Nick, for the memories.
