[Milsurplus] Aberdeen MV fest

[Mark K3MSB]

Hi Ray –

Thanks for the nice synopsis.

I did see an RBS-2 receiver (price unknown) as well as a nice FT-226A for
$70.  The fellow with the FT-226 had some really grungy BC-451As along with
some other beat up ARC stuff.

I saw more WWII vintage stuff last year, but then I went on Friday last
year.
