[Boatanchors] Charlotte NC hamfest photos

[Nick England]

I'm glad that folks enjoy the photos - I just take quick snaps with my
iPhone while roaming the aisles. These days I stick to collecting 50s-60s
Navy radio and teletype gear, so I really don't expect to find something I
need at a hamfest - but I have a very soft spot in my heart for boatanchor
ham gear so I always enjoy seeing all the rigs for sale.
Prices at hamfests certainly vary all over the place, from folks who mirror
the asking prices on eBay to those of us who are just happy to see
something go to a new home. Remember that the really great bargains are all
gone before the doors open and that what you see are the things that no one
so far values as high as the seller does.
And as the sign on Tom W4OKW's table said "This is a hamfest - Make
offers!".
Cheers,
Nick England K4NYW
