I have got to quit going to HAMFESTS

[BJ radionut]

I went to a small HAMFEST in Greenfield,IN this morning...just to visit with some of the guys from 75 meters....
One of the tables had a ton of stuff from an estate sale from a very resent silent key that I chatted with allot from the 3865 group.
Here is couple pics of what called to me:

Well this purchase will most certainly mean I will most likely be letting go couple of items
So when I get pics of my late SS# Yaesu FT-450at and what other items I decide on... I'll post them up...
All the Best

Clean looking 990! Hope you got a good deal on it.
I'm looking forward to the next Belton Hamfest (Texas) in October.
I'm looking for a Yaesu FT-1000MP MKV. Of course, the price might
be out of my spending limit. And also want a Collins 75A-4 as well.
Won't have the cash for both, but, maybe one out of two is possible.
Too many goodies already. But, still want more!!!
Maybe, some of you can grab my stuff when my wife has my SK sale!!

Trucker: Don't look past the FT-950...it is a fine rig. I have had mine now going on 4 years and like it very well...no issues since I purchased it. I find the RX excellent!
Yes the FT-990 is in pretty nice shape when you consider how old it really is...Same goes for most of the FT-1000 series...some of which can be 10 years old or better...
I can tell the 990 had a desent RX, but until I get to play around more, I am noticing that the 950 may be a little easier (once you have it set-up)


I ask Wayne in New Zealand about the transmitter audio...and he said it was "pleasing"
I'll take that any day!

I was never one to try to run "PUNCHY" audio...to me the So-Called "LOUD and PROUD" audio Sounds CHEAP and DIRTY!(because it IS)
I was only showing about 60 Watts average/ mic gain at 11 O'clock and the RF processor set at less than 5 DB....no EQ from the MD-100 mic everything was set FLAT...
So see how it goes as I "ReTrain" myself for a Brand New Second Hand Rig
Have a great day....and hold on to your shorts when you price a 75A4s receiver...in good to excellent condition!....OH BABY!
I'll take a nice DRAKE R4B anyday...
All the Best

Everyone have a super day...
sent from work: LUCAS OIL STADIUM...Home of the INDIANAPOLIS COLTS...GO COLTS!
