Hamvention 2024 - Friday’s Pictures.

Friday promised to be a rainy day, and it wasn’t a lie. The RADAR showed rain, and lots of it!

And it was wet…

The line ride was soaked.

But that didn’t stop me from playing in the mud like a happy little wereboar. There were still plenty of vendors open with tents over their wares, and I still brought home way too much. I spent about 4 hours wandering the wet ways, and of course it decided to stop the minute I was finished! I was soaked by then, and ready to go, but Saturday and Sunday awaited.

Here’s what I saw this year on Friday:

The requisite radios and a cool tape deck.

A stack of classic Apple and Tandy.

Lots of test equipment shows up at the show.

As does lots of random parts.

Clubs set up selling things.

Random items for sale.

Expensive equipment. Is there a rain discount?

Simpson made these meters for Heath.

Radios and amps everywhere…

All kind of gear for sale.

A lot of these showed up this year.

Trying to keep the water off.

The little Tek scope was cool.

It’s a high power something.

A silent key sale. I took the generator.

Lots of Heath gear this year.

Conar was a nameplate from NRI.

It probably doesn’t care that it’s wet.

Some things are sold out of the back of a truck.

Test equipment…ONLY!

A lot of things were covered up.

The gods smiled, and the S38C went home with me.

Just stuff.

Just like Emergency!

Things for your fallout shelter.

These boatanchors kept the ground from flying away.

An HP sig gen in a military case.

A nice old Viking radio in a classy case.

A Peerless speaker sits among the stuffs.

It was a day of trying to stay dry.

Stuff is anywhere you can put it.

Military gear is a staple at the show.

A nice looking National radio.

Filters ‘n Things.

More equipment, Randomized.

W-J equipment is quite rare these days.

If you want it, it’s probably here.

Vintage audio gear.

And vintage breadboard radios.
