[Milsurplus] Frostfest 2009

[Ray Fantini]

Frostfest 2009 appeared to be a decent Hamfest, not one of the largest that I have been to by any means but not a bad show. Saw two R-390A receivers that I saw their. One for $450.00 with covers and looking in good condition and a second for $600.00 with no covers and missing the 3TF7 or what ever that ballast tube is with a resistor rigged into the socket. Saw several ARC-5 transmitters and receivers all modified to one extent or the other in the $20 to $30 price range along with a ARB with the tuning adapter and mounting base for $50 but it had a AC supply installed and was missing the original connectors. Three or four of the big National Navy receivers, myself can not tell if they were entertainment sets or intended for some other use. Saw the two list mentioned RBK for $75 each and saw that they got sold. Did not stick around the fest all day, went over to the gun show in the next arena and spent more time over their. Not a bad show considering I had a three hour ride to get their, maybe I will sell their next year.
