Thank you for this video! I enjoyed seeing the Hallicrafters set at 1:18-I used my grandfathers' SX117 / HT44 set for many years-it sadly had to go when we downsized-I really enjoyed the camaraderie with your friends!
I really enjoy watching these Ham fest videos Terry. Thank you for going and filming all that awesome old school goodness. Hope you feel better soon be safe.
Another great idea i never followed,,got old CB's&new CB's all in a box,,handheld scanner quit years ago(SumDumBassTurd put regular batteries in AND plugged it in) For Sure I'd Buy a HAM radio, Look at the Operator Programming Book and give it away sometime around Christmas
Terry, I thoroughly enjoyed this video! Thanks for sharing it with us. I am beyond broke and if I had been there I am certain that I would have pulled out the ol' card and gotten into even more trouble than I am in now. I need about 5 variable capacitors that are somewhat "unobtainium" now. The description of what the variable capacitors are is as follows: Tuning Capacitor is a 4 section, 14pF to 331 pF variable each section, 9 Stator 10 Rotor plates each section, Army Stock Number/Navy Type Number/British Reference Number 3D9016V-2. The most interesting feature of this particular tuning capacitor is that it contains a variable 3500 Ω, +/- 10%, 1/10 Watt, metalized carbon resistor attached to the shaft that tunes the capacitor, and it varies from lowest resistance to highest resistance with frequency. In other words, Low frequency = Lowest Resistance, Highest Frequency = Highest resistance. Tell Marsha hi and that we wish her the very best of everything!
I’m casting no stones here but as this video began after another I had playing, I was listening in another room. Crazy! The one thing that jumped out at me was the guy that walked up appreciating the videos and sharing that his brother had passed away and all his old gear was tabled across the room. What I failed to hear was “Oh my, sorry for the loss of your brother”. Too busy being “a celebrity” or whatever. Just left a sour experience as a first time viewer of this “channel”. That’s all.
See, with the way this works sometimes, if you go to a venue like this without any money, you'll find stuff to buy. If you bring money, you might not (lol).

Another brilliant visit to a Ham fest without leaving my chair. M0MBG Thank you.
Cool beans.
Want one of each.....

nice thx
I like this
Thanks for the Kalamazoo 2023 Hamfest video, I saw N9CQX whom I haven’t seen in a long time:
Thanx Terry. I fwd the link to all the jerks I know on 80M. 73
Great
Wow there were tons of wood cabinet and plastic case tube radios there. Really impressed by that. Maybe next year.
Beautiful gear at that hamfest!
Ive got a Hickok 6000a, a 600, and a BK 747B. Used to have a Hickok 532, 533, and a Sencore MU150 Continental II,

What you do so well is make me think you are talking to just me!
Psyched for a new hamfest video!

the Spokane hamfest got cancelled so this was cool to watch. A few things I probably would have left with.
The guy just after the Last Dollar Store had my Logitech Ball Mouse!

I used to help an old man Jess M. K0TAA all over the state of Colorado.
What model was that "boat anchor" Hallicrafters? Id like to find one myself.

Lots of nice looking stuff there, but I'm not nuanced enough for HAM radio. I can barely operate my Sony ICF-P26 multi band receiver!
When was this?
I hate bachelite.
Wood cabinets, are beauties.
