[NJARC] Hamfest report - Mullica Hill, NJ

[John Dilks K2TQN]

HI Steve,

You know how I tease you every time about the service literature at the 
hamfest.  Well today I'm not kidding.  I got 3/4 of a 10-ream box full of 
service stuff.  6 or so Service magazines, several each Fada, Majastic, 
Grisby? service pubs, and some others.  The real interesting one was the 
Gersback Service books - complete Vol 1, Vol2, and the following 
supplements: 1, 2, 3, 4, and 5, still in the envelops.  I'll bet this will 
fill a few holes for you?

You're welcome to the FADA and stuff if you don't have them - and you can 
copy the Gernsbacks  (I think I'll keep them.)

I got the whole box for $30.  I got it early.

The hamfest was quite small, but very sociable.  Things were affordable.

Oh, I got the big Red tube book for $15.  I'm going to sell that and make 
my $30 back for the literature.  :-)

I picked up a Conar (cheap kit) receiver for cheap, and a Johnson Mobile 
transmitter (rough) very cheap.  I passed up a bunch of other stuff.  I 
think I got the only service literature there, except for the RCA manuals 
John Ruccola picked up.

About 10 NJARC'ers showed up. John Ruccolo made about 4 trips to his car 
with his king-sized shopping cart - that he took away from some poor senior 
citizen shopper at the local ACME.  :-)
