Some notes from The Scioto Valley Amateur Radio Club Hamfest

I grabbed a friend and headed down to this show earlier today. It was a pretty small event, but that’s the kind of thing I like to go to - you never know what you’re going to find. We even stopped at (the last?) Rax on the way home.

I didn’t pick up much - some books, some parts, and this Heathkit Audio generator with a parts donor unit.

I’m asking it for 60Hz, and getting 59.7. That’s pretty good for a piece of 50 year old equipment. It’s a simple capacitive oscillator, so there’s not much to go wrong - exactly what you need for your bench. It’s certainly in need of service, but what do you expect?

Pictures from the event are on the way, so stay tuned!
