were good in the auction, and the auction was huge, it lasted several hours!

Last year, there was a miscommunication about the starting time. This was due
to the fact that other organizations have access to the grounds and opened
the gates early. We apologize for that. This year, the official 
starting time is
7:00AM. Early arrivals may not be able to enter before that time.

AUCTION:
The auction last year was huge and went on for hours. This year, there will
be items from collectors who are downsizing along with excess items which have
been donated to the Radio History Society.
All this in addition to individual equipment which has been put on the block.
This promises to be a great auction with many bargains. The auction this year
will begin at noon and is inside. All other activities are in the parking lot.
