[Milsurplus] Shelby NC hamfest photos Sept 2023

[Mike Morrow]

Thanks, Nick.  That is a magnificent collection of photos of what people brought to the flea market.  I almost felt as if I had attended.

The most interesting item to me was the very first photo of an R-1134B/WRR-3 VLF/LF/MF receiver (14 to 600 kHz in five bands).  I've owned one for 25 years and IMO it is the best surplus receiver for that range fof frequencies that has ever been available.  There was one on every ship including submarines on into the 1980s.  On USS Intrepid one monitored 5OO kHz.  The one on my SSBN was just a standby set...submarines were not required to monitor 500 kHz.  It is 100 percent miniature vacuum tubes and very serviceable.
