[Boatanchors] [BoatAnchors] Shelby hamfest photos

[Al Parker]

Hi Nick,
	Thanks for all the pix.  It was good to see you and all the guys again. 
  I agree, attendance was down markedly, vs 6 yrs ago at the same 
location.  It's hard to compare with the last 5 yrs at the Dallas, NC, 
locn.  I think you, as always, captured most, if not all, of the BA's. 
I only sold an R-390/URR, and the aperiodic rcvr, plus a little edebris. 
  I did come away with the HT-33B amp that Larry had.  I missed seeing 
the SP-600 you spotted, a big difference from the dozen plus that were 
at Dallas last yr.  I believe BA prices in general have faded off a lot 
in the last 5 yrs.
73,
