Hello all

I arrived at NEAR Fest Friday at ~1100 with SC0UT. I figured the sooner we arrived, the longer we could stand in the rain, so delayed it. I managed to get some spares for the MSC-37 comm shelter including a LS-166 speaker, antenna base, hand microphone, and GRC-106 power cable. I also got a WW-2 packboard in case I want to hike up Mt Washington with my GRC-106. ;-) The weather cleared enough to make the latter half of the day ok, but worked on my trench foot with all the mini ponds in the lower field. SC0UT was a hit, as usual. Hard to not like all the wrinkles and flappy face. I did manage to check in to the M & S net from the HMS Doghair (Subaru) when leaving Saturday. Not as big a turnout due to the weather. Better luck in the spring

Hi Mark,

Thanks for the report. Arrived on site at 14:00 Saturday-not much happening as most were emerging from shelters. Saturday much better, a decent crowd and "stuff" appeared to be moving.

The items pictured, a W/S #19 Set and a Navy (think VHF transmitter) didn't sell at closing.

73, Robert, VE3BE

I left Friday at 4AM, drove into the pouring rain about 2 hours out, after about 1/2 hour into the rain my wiper linkage let go in the M886. I found a NAPA but had to sit in the parking lot until 730 waiting for them to open, bought the linkage bushing, some slip joint pliers and grease, and made repairs under the gas station awning. Back on the road and arrived at 1045, late from my original 0900 plans. Arriving to find a vendor ghost town, can't blame them with the heavy rain and wind, only one brave camper set up below and most of the vendors set up were in the buildings. I only saw a couple of military radio's and have them pictured here. I had to leave at noon as I had 2 appointments to pick up M151 jeep engines. Made it home at 950pm, again slowed down by heavy rain and wind. I hope to hear better reports from the Saturday crowd.
