Today’s Run: \u00a04.22 miles<\/p>\n
Hamfest: \u00a0A\u00a0Hamfest<\/b>\u00a0is a convention of amateur radio enthusiasts, often combining a trade\u00a0show, flea market, and various other activities of interest to amateur radio\u00a0…<\/b><\/p>\n
Tomorrow is the Hamfest in Jackson, Mississippi. \u00a0We have been loading the pickup with all sorts of “treasures” to sell. \u00a0There are two objectives for going to a Hamfest. \u00a0The first objective is to come home with fewer “treasures” than when you left from home. \u00a0The second objective is to come home with extra cash in your pocket! \u00a0It rarely works that way but it sure is fun to give it a try.<\/p>\n
I am going with a shopping list. \u00a0You see, I am in the middle of restoring a 1941 Silvertone 7048 console radio. \u00a0It needs a bunch of capacitors and some\u00a0replacement\u00a0tubes. \u00a0It is no big deal to find these parts, you can get them online easy, but seeing as the Hamfest is here and those parts will be for sale and I would not have to pay shipping…it just makes sense! \u00a0So, I have a shopping list. \u00a0And of course, there just might be a really cool antique AM radio that jumps into the truck, too. \u00a0That would be a sad thing to have happen, huh?<\/p>\n
We are looking forward to a day away (not too far away, mind you). \u00a0Coming back with less radio stuff than we left the house carrying and bringing home a chicken tractor and six hens. \u00a0All in all, a busy and hopefully successful day.<\/p>\n
