Good morning!

Megacycles. Kilocycles.

A beautiful old Collins radio receiver rests in the parking lot at a hamfest in east-central Minnesota. SUV tire for scale.

Old rigs tempt me but I managed to get out of there with only a lariat of coax, a roll of teletype paper, a Johnson Viking t-shirt, and a quarter-inch tip-ring-ring-sleeve to hook up a Morse code key.

I'd never been to a hamfest before! I enjoyed visiting and learning the protocols.
