We weren’t sure what the day was going to bring, it looked decent but was promising rain later.
While the rain did hold off, it started raining shortly after we left. Later that afternoon, it became dangerous, including a tornado touchdown somewhat north of the area. This was followed by torrential rains, and then a lovely cool evening.
There was some good stuff at the show this year, with more of the kinds of things I go for than I saw at Dayton this year. I picked up more at this show, things I can actually use (and one project) so it was a pretty decent show. In all, I think the threat of rain kept some away, but there was a good turnout nontheless.
here’s what i saw at the show:
The Heathkit Distortion Analyzer came home with me, I have a better chance of getting this one operational than the EICO unit i had earlier (Later me says it works, and seems to work quite well!) Stay tuned, that one will show up on the bench at some point. I also brought home the Heathkit supply, as well as both of those Radio Shack benchtop meters. There were a few parts in there as well, in all it was a good show for me.
Next show is Columbus, Ohio at the Shriners Temple on August 1st. See you there!
