[Milsurplus] Shelby NC hamfest photos

[R. Dennis Gibbs]

Nick,

 

As always, thank you for taking the time to take and post these pictures for those of us that could not be there.

 

I would love to have gotten my hands on the ITT MacKay 3010C!

 

Nick’s Pics – the closest you can get to a hamfest without actually being there!

 

Thanks again,

 

Dennis

The weather was sunny but hot. Seemed like many more tailgaters than last year.

The boatanchors were out in full force.

A good showing of R-390, R-390A, and lots of R-388 receivers.

Maybe a half-dozen BC-348s, including two in the shock mounts (Bill Perry had them).

A smattering of RT-68 style gear. A PRC-47 and other miscellaneous pieces of that era.

 

Joe Munson and John Vendely need to chime in - they know much more than I do about what OD gear was on offer. If it ain't Navy gray, I am pretty clueless.

 

Cheers,

Nick England K4NYW
