    He now has a group pic of 9 of us who made the traditional trip to the
Shelby Fish Camp on Fri.  The waitress used 3 different cameras we supplied,
she must have only ckd focus on Tom Bridger's, mine was pretty fuzzy.

Here's my report:
    I got a beautiful SX-101A  on Fri.  Wasn't specifically looking for
another one, but haven't had one for a cupla yrs, so couldn't pass it up at
the price - was even able to pwr it up b4 buying - it works as geat as it
looks.  It would make a nice stn with the Viking Invader 2000 that I also
got.  Only other find brought home was a nice Wandel-Goltermann selective
voltmeter that heard 20m ssb sigs on abt 3ft of wire ystdy PM.  Can use it
as a selectable sideband adapter by feeding a rcvr's IF into it - nice for
SP-600's, R-390's, etc., and hopefully will find other good uses for it.
    Does anyone have a manual for the W&G AT-463 sel. VM?  they were used in
qty by ATT Long-Lines people abt 20-25 yrs ago for maintaining signal
levels.
    I sold my R-390A & HQ-170 after I had loaded them back in the van at abt
noon Sat. (I left at 1PM).  Sold Drake A-twins Fri.,  & delivered an HQ-180A
on my way on Thurs.  Also sold a little of the e-debris I had.
