[Milsurplus] 20 Years into the Future

[Hue Miller]

Will, i have to agree with most of what you said. ( While laffing. )
You will not have an easy shot at the very tip top of the collectibles.
The spy radios, German pack sets, Japanese radios, i think there
will be a steady increase in bidding for those, even if the bidders
are not technical radio people, but more interested in the historical
era.

Another thing came to mind. I read an editorial somewhere, can't 
recall, but the gist was that for a hobby to be appealing mostly to
"mature" people wasn't all bad. They have more time, money,
stability, and usually, smarts, than the younger crowd. Maybe at
some point, people just get tired of paying attention to  pointless
ephemerality of  some mass-marketed diversions and look for 
more substantial interests.

I tend to look to the militaria hobby as kind of a bellwether for how
ham radio and milsurplus radio in specific, will be doing. But being
more or less isolated out here on the coast now,  far from militaria
shows and hobby stores, i don't have a good feel for how those
interests are doing now. -Hue
