[R-390] Dayton Boatanchors

[Larry]

Hi Wayne,

Dayton has a mixd bag of boatanchors.  You can find a wide variety of 
boatanchors but unless someone specifically states they will have 
something you never know.  I believe over the last years an R-390A would 
not be a problem to find.   I would ask on the various reflectors a 
month or so before Dayton if someone is bringing what you are interested 
in.  They most likely (if they go every year) can give you space numbers 
where they will be in the flea market. Best to be there on Friday 
because a lot of stuff can move that day.  

On shipping UPS has a station set up at the Hamvention.  I have not used 
it or paid much attention to it.  I would guess someone on the list can 
give you a better idea.  

My other suggestion would to be bring a suitable couple of boxes with 
you. Folded up and flat I would guess would not cost much to take on an 
airline. When in Dayton for to Home Depot (or wherever) and by some 
closed cell styrofoam and cut to fit and pack yourself.

Good luck Dayton is a lot of fun and much to see.  Also a great place to 
meet the people you converse with either here or on the air.
