Gilbert was a fun event. I brought only two WW2 operational radios ( BC-611 and BC-659 ), and was a little nervous about bringing the project radios ( ATB, ARB, AN/ARCA-1 and ZB-1 ). Thank you everybody for the very kind words on the projects. The ATB in particular needs a lot of love. Great to see everybody. I did see some WW2 stuff for sale, and was able to pick up a USN marked shock mount for my next GF/RU project ( again, museum bound ). Also saw a BC-62O and BC-659 in good cosmetic condition, with the AN-29-C antenna, but in unknown electrical condition, with power supply but no other accessories for $600 each  - good for known working sets without accessories, otherwise maybe $300. They hadn’t sold when I left in the afternoon.  I also saw USAAF radios in various degrees of needing some love. Not much WW2 ground forces radio stuff other than the radios mentioned above. 

It was also great to see Bill Perry at Gilbert and to find more vendors I’ll be doing business with in the near future.

WA2EJT   Good to see you at Gilbert, Joe.  Great display of WWII flying radios.  Tuneable VHF is a lot of fun in the air band and it was cool to hear the chatter on your old receiver from just a whip under the metal roof.  

Did Dale get on from camp?

Out the door for a canoe adventure.
