Who's going? Who has a Table? This and many more questions!

I'll be there monitoring in P25 147.54 of course. Then afterwards, making my annual pilgrimage north to British Columbia.

I have a table on the second floor that will not be used if anyone needs some selling space.

I will also have a table, I think I got upgraded this year to a better location. lots of stuff this year 25% radio 70% computer 5% random

might have a few catchy things this year, a) have a CubeSDR running for demo b) have a bench lab supply for testing what you purchased around the fest c) might run an APRS display just showing the sheer number of nerd in one location all depends on how lazy I get

I'll be there. 147.540 P25 as usual. My table should be on the second floor.

Jim

Got lots of interesting COMMERCIAL antennas, some play in useful Ham bands... VHF, UHF, 800/900Mhz stuff.

Also have dual-band directional 903-928Mhz/2.4-2.5Ghz goodies...

Also have some intriguing lightning arrestors! These cost "someone" $150.00 each, and are available NEW from TESSCO...

Andrew APT-BDFDM-LWB Arrestor Plus(R) T-series Surge Arrestors...

Two can be "combined carefully" and will protect your 440Mhz ham gear
rather nicely... Emptor Caveat... These use "real" RF connectors, ie 7-16 DIN... I can prepare FSJ4-50 jumpers, N-male to DIN-male... in lengths to 20 feet.

Let me know what you want (PM or email:-) and I will make sure I load them up...

Hey Eric, do you have any UHF antennas that could withstand the beating of being at 6000 foot mountain?

Oh I have just the thing sitting on my front porch even as I type...
Hope you have a roof rack and cargo straps... This one is around 20 feet long and the same model I sold to W2ZT for use on a couple of his repeater projects...

BEWARE it looks like hell (radome has lost much of its gelcoat and the moss has taken over:) and I will have to repair a small "ding" in the feeder pigtail but before I put it on the porch to "dry out" it still tested with 1.5:1 VSWR at 440.000 Mhz... Pretty amazing for a commercial stick... and its the last one I have of that type left I believe... Will have to look at the antenna pile to make sure... I can have a look at the label but was built by Sinclair Radio Labs... Pigtail terminates in Type N male...
so can screw onto most hardline directly without another jumper provided it terminates close enough to the mount.

If Decibel Products open folded dipole is more your style I have many different configurations available... The K5IN repeater on Capitol is running one with a "custom" pattern configuration... 8 dipole 4 bays...
with 3 of the bays in "North/South" and the bottom East/West and is what gives it is magnificent valley coverage near Olympia and still allows it to talk as far South as Portland and North to Canada!

So there you go... I'll bring the Sinclair and a selection of the Decibel
monsters along...

Pricing should be something like 10% of "new retail"...

Oh thats perfect! I'm going to bring that to the attention of someone that is still undecided on going up to Puyallup. Should convince him since he needs such a beast to expand his vast repeater system.

Due to circumstances beyond my control I will not be able to go to the Puyallup flea market (for the 3rd year in a row). :(

Maybe better luck next year.

Hope you all have a great time.
