[Boatanchors] Richmond VA hamfest photos 2/7/15

[John via Boatanchors]

I came away with more small stuff than I planned to.  There was a  fairly 
good assortments as well as same bargains like a Ranger II for $145.00.  
(Didn't last long!) A few anchors were over priced but generally within reason  
and lower than that infamous auction site.  There were the usual gougers  
but they left with their overpriced wares.
 
The building itself was great, warm during Friday night setup and again all 
 day Saturday.  For those not familiar with the venue, the whole hamfest 
was  in one building instead of the two plus seminars used in the past.  In 
this  building, the seminars were upstairs and there was a large food vending 
area in  front. Large representation of commercial vendors including at 
least one  that was a first timer. Plenty of light, parking and relatively easy 
to  load in an out. For me, it was a winner!
 
I think the move to the single building was a smart one and hope the  fest 
continues there in the future. I heard the word 2500 for  attendance,  Don't 
know if that was right, but it was well attanded

pretty good  selection - fair amount of Drake, Heath, Hammarlund,
Hallicrafters.
Some  S-line, but only St James Gray was a 32V-3
Not much military - one R-390A  (unsold), one TCS rcvr (sold), one BC-348 
(?)

Most of the usual  NC/VA/MD boatanchorites were there - chime in with your
won  obeservations
