A lot of CUCVs had the metal bracket to mount the C-2299 radio control box there, as well as the headset, mic, etc. Other things were bolted there, as well...

Going back there in a couple weeks with a friend for one last snagging trip - save what we can while it's there. Hope there's some stuff left, IMHO - I heard from several sources the walk-in customer volume has REALLY shot up, guess a lot of other radio guys have the same idea.

I will be there all day Friday and Saturday, my usual spots. Just bringing odds and ends military surplus to sell. Stop by and say hi!

Can't make it this time around, we are backed up at work and we have mandatory weekends until the tickets are cleared. Have a great time, fellas, the weather is supposed to be pretty nice. I'll see you all next cycle, hopefully.

More pics of military gear, and my saves. These pics from the show are units that I was either too busy or too forgetful to ask how much they were. Pic 1: A pair of PRC-25s, one had a H-250 handset, the other a H-189. Pic 2: These were interesting, I didn't see a data plate on either unit...

Last Sunday I went to the Berryville VA hamfest; Berryville is always a big show and this time didn't disappoint. Beautiful weather, hundreds of tailgaters selling things, and lots of older equipment (including military rigs). I even got my daughter to come along and watch the table selling a...

Last few pics of the front room. Also what I purchased. My buddy got some odds and ends, and a nice WWII BC-348 receiver. I snagged a R-1051 receiver with the proper shock mount, a few rack-mounted components of dual- and triple-diversity receiver units, a flight data recorder (I save some...

Front room pics, aisles of military and civilian radio equipment, test equipment, manuals, pieces and parts.

More pics. Pallets and stacks of parts and u-fix units of all sorts. Check out the last pic - Johnson Desk Kilowatt, it's a ham radio transmitter and a 1KW amplifier built into a metal desk!

I went to Fair Radio a couple weeks back with a friend. I was all about going to post an update in my existing thread about Fair Radio, just posting up pics and whatnot, when I got an email from same friend. He heard that Fair Radio Sales, which has been a mainstay in the surplus and vintage...

I missed a couple hamfests recently due to work conflicts, but I finally got to one last Saturday in Manassas Park, VA. Figures the one I get to is small-ish and I was done there in about an hour. Next big one in this area is in early August, I hope work doesn't rear its ugly head for that...

A few more MV pics, and a couple non-MVs that made me smile, too!

More pics...

I didn't get an application for spots this year, but I went for the day on Friday, it's usually the biggest day and I like the auction held in the afternoon as well. I agree turnout was a little lighter than last time around, despite the weather being pretty good, compared to Thursday which was...

Will be there again with the little one and my CUCV. It'll be here before we know it!

Love the progress pics - your patience and metalworking skills are admirable! Subscribed!

Didn't get a vendor application from them this year, but I will be there either Friday or Saturday just buying more crap I don't need, and seeing my friends again as well. Looking forward to it!

Another good show this morning in Vienna, VA, last full day of winter and boy it was acting like it with wind chills in the 20s this morning. This show used to be over at the community college in Annandale, this is the first year at a local high school instead, but it looks like the move didn't...

I've got a set of the TM 11-5820.... Mil Spec Radio Gear books, they are excellent reads on all sorts of military radio gear from about Korean War era to the 90s. Well written and every ham should have a set of those books IMHO.

I looked around the net and found some pics of the TRC-75 in its intended purpose, as a forward air control radio jeep. The designations for the original setup were MRC-83 (installed in a M38A1) or MRC-87 (installed in a longer wheelbase M170 ambulance jeep). Here a couple pics I snagged off...
