Boneyard Report - Praters Mill Swapfest

[Larry Keith]

It's a hard three hours from Warner Robins to the Praters
Mill Swap fest, about 10 miles north of Dalton, GA.  I was
determined to be there early but didn't arrive until 0745.
The swap fest was in full swing and I was lucky get a space
down by the water..

Since I was displaying my pieces, parts, and paraphernalia
-- I didn't get a chance to see everything.. But, I do
remember:

Several 250 Johnson Matchboxes including one that had a
Heath SWR bridge neatly installed.

One Johnson Ranger..

One National NC-183..

Heath HW101, SB200, SB220, HW12, a Cantenna or two, and a
Capci-Tester that came home with me.

A set of Hallicrafters HT-40 (?) and matching receiver.. (I
got to start taking notes!!)

A trailer full of "stuff" that included one BC-342 and an
ARR-15, as I recall.

Several of the usual boatanchor suspects scurrying around
the field..  Some stopped by to say "Hello".  I am sure
that some of those folks have better memories and I wish
they would post other finds, that I missed.

My only other purchases were a bag of Octal and 7 pin tube
sockets as well as two enclosures that just beg to be
antenna tuners..

Fun day and it was all over and I was back on I-75, headed
south, by 1200..

Next weekend is the 12 Annual Dallas, GA, Hamfest,
presented by the Paulding Amateur Radio Club, Inc., on
Saturday, September 14, 2002, 0800 till 1400.
