Saturday at the Dayton Hamvention promised rain.

And it did. Wet Pac-Man was on his way.

We mostly toured the buildings, but I went away disappointed as there were no test equipment vendors present - in fact, the only real TE vendor there was Bird, but they aren’t selling to me. The guy I was with was interested, however, as he needs a commercially available handheld SpecAn that isn’t a Chinese company.

I did pick up a few things here and there, but not much. Mostly rain discount stuff.

Here’s what I saw at the show:


We left probably close to 1PM, as many of the flea market vendors had started to pack up. I skipped Sunday as there wasn’t anything I wanted to see, I was aching, and I wanted to play with some of the things I bought.

Next show is Breezeshooters in Butler, PA. See you there!
