[R-390] Dayton Hamvention - Fair Radio

[Dana Cobb]

Greeting Fellow R 390 Enthusiasts:

I spoke to Gary, K8FRS, at Fair radio today on the telephone. In the course 
of the conversation, he advised me that they were going to allow the ham 
community to enter the warehouse area on Thursday , May 17th, to peruse for 
items of interest. Area's not allowed entry will be condoned off with yellow 
safety tape. This is a rare opportunity to tour the inner sanctum. Also, 
they will allow "hoss traders" to tailgate in their parking area for the 
occasion at no charge.
   As an FYI, Fair Radio bought 10 trailer truck loads of R 390A's from a 
military surplus depot a number of years ago. They still have some left, but 
they came for St Julian's Creek Depot and are, for the most part, beyond 
repair due to rust and corrosion. They are still selling some salvageable 
parts from them though. Plus, they have many other things of interest to the 
Boatanchor community.
   Fair Radio is located about 75 miles North of Dayton off  I 75 Exit 122. 
The address is SR/65, 2395 St Johns Rd, Lima, Ohio.

As a disclaimer, I have no interest in Fair radio financially and this will 
be my first visit to their facility myself.
 Good luck. Regards to all: Dana Cobb - K1RQ, Bradenton, Florida
