What's up Jason? What's up? Billy? Are you streaming? No, I'm just doing a blog? Oh okay, cool? All right. So I

thought i'd walk through the flea market this morning. It's Sunday, of course, and um it's not as there's a lot of there's a lot of the flea market guys that leave on Saturday. They don't even like pack up Saturday night and they just head So that's a lot less crowded today, but there's still stuff to see. There's I mean, even with that, there's more stuff and more tables set up right now at this flea market than there are like hardly any other flea market at all, even with the people who left

yesterday. So I thought i'd do I walked through. I did this last year and it was well received, so I wanted to do it again, and we'll see how it goes. Stout out here with the Poda booth. This is outside the flea market right here. Flea market is technically inside this fence here, although they have spaces out here as well. Change parks on the air. Pretty good showing here. It's always always people hanging at this booth. James h M radio adventure guy. He was sitting in that chair

right there yesterday acting like he was the King of photo. But you know he has a good he has a good argument to be made about that. All right, let's go in the flea market here. They're coming for you, Jason, who is Oh the sirens, yeah they might be. That sounded like an ambulance. Actually here are anywhile could beat the flat ball right. Oh okay, hey MIKEA are you guys are still in the flea market. We got and needed what we needed to have done. Roger, Roger,

I'm walking around with the live string right now. Casey five hwb WI Tropo was a great time. I'm glad. It's glad you made it. Shane. Sorry he couldn't stay longer, but yeah, it's pretty fun. Last night I had a lot of people there. I didn't stay as late. We left out of there there about nine thirty last night. I got here back by ten and I just crashed. Man. Just exhausted. Long week, long and fun week, of course, but just a lot of up time, short day, short nights, and long days for the last

four five days. So some computer stuff there, m Charlie is on a poda on CW seven dot zero six zero November November Juliet seventh, Victor. Anybody who's got c W set up wants to work Charlie on poda. He's at a podau just right near here in Ohio. I just gotta hanmblurt about him. I'm stuck at one time. Okay, Yeah, that guy there's got sterling on top of his van yes, bands has been kind of up and down. Yeah, their kind a bunch of stuff in the back of

his car. There are you doing good? How are you? Yeah? Sure you can take picture? Yeah, yeah, you can take picture. How are you live streaming the flea market right now? Thanks? Yeah? San Diego w E s c W. Nice studet you guys. Good to meet you. I got nice. Uh yesterday all right? M thank god you bet. Thanks, good to meet you. And there you go. What was the most unique thing you saw this year? Uh? You know what. That's a good question, kind of like test equipment there, most

unique thing I saw this year? Um, I don't know. I mean the nine O five is pretty unique. And then it's a super high frequency radio and they had that on display. And you see how all this is cleaned out right here. I probably should have done the flea market yesterday, but I wanted to see there's still some people left here. The D seventy five from Kenwood was a big hit. People were wanting to see that. I found a guy selling or manufacturing Momo, m o m o or mama

or momo, however you say it. And Tenna's there, Yaggi's I think they're from Italy. They're sold at HRS. You can go to HRS website and find them. And I went by this oneting to interview him and he had shut everything. He had taken all his display stuff down, so I didn't get him on interview. I don't like interviewing people on Saturdays. They're usually just too busy, and you know, they got crowds at their tables, and I don't want to interrupt their sales process, so I try not

to do much on Saturday. But I mentioned them briefly in the live stream yesterday, but I didn't get my interview with them, like I wanted some motorole of stuff right there. But that's okay. I got interviews with VHQ Hacks again, Dave that we interviewed at Orlando last February. I gotta follow up from him. I got a new I got an interview with Buddy Pole about a new rotor they have for the Buddy Hacks antenna, so you'll see that soon. And then I got some video of the MCom row where they

have display vehicles in the front of the ham Fest. H R only has the six meter Momo beam. According to Momo, they have all of them maybe they're out of stock right now. I don't know. They have a portable beam that's six and ten meters that they were kind of pushing with a

show special. And while that's cool and all six and ten meters or two of those bands that you're not going to be able to use every time you go out and activate, so that they were selling it as a portable PoTA beam, which is great if if ten meters is up, you just happen to catch six meters being up, which I know that six meters has actually been up last couple of days. There's been people working ft eight on six

meters. That's kind of fun, but very hit or miss bands. You can't just go out and activate every day on six meters if you want to, like you can't on twenty meters. They basically don't want to do. Yeah, or a lot of motor roll of stuff out here in the flea market used motor role of gear P twenty five DMR who knows. This is probably a good day to find deals because if there's stuff left at tables people don't want to take it home. They might make you a better deal on

it than they did yesterday. Granted a lot of the tables are closed down, so it's kind of a catch twenty two. You either missed it or are you gonna get a really good deal on it? Y? Yeah, why are you're there? Find emil the operators from FM thirty eight in Wisconsin. Huh. I think I know who those guys are. I don't know what they looked like, though. If they came up and shook my hand, I wouldn't know unless they told me round sixty five gus, there you

go, sixty foot twenty eight hundred bucks, come get it. Oh you did. Yes, I'm getting my exercise. That is true. And someone's in the super chat. I missed it. Whoever sent the five dollars super chat? Oh TC fits Happy Sunday, Thanks buddy, thanks for the super chat. I missed that when it scrolled across the screen. Yeah. Yeah. People are packing up getting ready to go. I'll tell you what though. The weather this weekend has been fantastic. It rained overnight on Friday night,

so not during the show at all. After dark, woke up in the morning. Everything was wet and it was cloudy, but there was no rain falling from the sky, and uh, it's cleared up later that morning and sunny all day yesterday, sunny all day, clear sky, not a cloud in the sky today. Yeah, I talking about walk over here. My sinuses and allergies have been acting up on me too, because hot cold hot cold is cold and are cool in the evening and warm during the day.

Trying to I think I'm actually losing my voice. Oh look at that. Somebody doesn't like FT eight. That's funny. I will not pick a bou Fang and CB or FT eight today. I will not pick on pick on. I will not pick on boo Fang, CB or FT eight today. Bart Simpson chalkboard. That's funny. I'm not getting winded. I've got allergies and I'm losing my voice. I've been talking all weekends, so between the allergies and just the using my voice, this is my morning voice that

I have every morning, but it's last longer today. Saint Lucia. Look at that old class D expedition in Saint Lucia, Work the World from the Caribbean kind of neat vacation rental. M pretty cool. How you doing? I would love to be able to talk to my wife into going to Saint Lucia to a D expedition or anywhere. Really. I asked her that one time. She's like, well, we'll ever get you to leave the house. And I'm like, yeah, well we could go get dinner some night

whatnot. I don't know. She's a she's a general now she can work too. All this This whole place was full yesterday. Well, there's also Tom Toms some stuff down here. It's like most of that's packed up down there. People parking down there, go this way. Here's your loud speaker. Oh yeah, everyone like that. One buck up? All right, let's seem just fine. Idea if I do. Let me see if we can get down in one bucket down here, yeah, out here, Maratron

amplifier. Yeah, I know the mixing equipment would not see a lot of that close circuit television, discount schoolore. Yeah, I never right. The lawyer old radios right there. Those guys are doing it right, sitting in the shade. Oh, that'some I Com stuff like commercial commercial, Great I

Coom stuff, commercial radios. There's nothing on that last row. So I'm gonna go walk to the front field here, which there's flea market stuff out there too, on the other side of that fence where you're looking right now. I got to walk all the way around this fence here. Looks like a lot of that's cleared out as well. There's still some stuff left over there though. Great to see Kenwood, Yes, agreed, great to see Kenwood at amp Benching. I'm glad they made it back. Damn more.

Don't you five like you are? All right? Let's go this way? Did you guys see Frank's Instagram reel this morning? I saw it this morning. I think maybe he put it up yesterday. I'm putting some steps on the pedometer. Yes, I did about eleven thousand steps on Friday. I only did like eight eighty five hundred yesterday. I don't walk around as much

yesterday as I thought I did. Yeah, Frank put a Instagram reel up either this morning or maybe yesterday, probably yesterday about him stealing that new reg expert from Giggle Parts. It's funny. It was Giggle Parts's idea to do that. No, not today, not today. I think I wanted a thousand dollars for US seventy one hundred. That seems a little high to me. Ye had two of them. I don't know what they came with. It looks like you had some other stuff that came with it, ancient Chinese

ox cart wheel. Okay, never know what you're gonna find it a ham fest, this thing, this, this whole field was full yesterday as well. Yeah, pre estate sale. Oh look at that, some old military stuff. Those are cool. Signal core radio receiver. That's neat something down here, but probably not much. We'll go look at that and we'll make it run back up the other row. How's that? The weather has been perfect? Weather has been perfect. It rained overnight Friday night, started after

dark. Apparently it rained when we were sleeping and I didn't hear it, which means I must have been really tired. And then it's just some stuff they're packing up over here. Okay, we'll turn it round, go the other way. And then it was. It was cloudy that next Saturday morning, but those clouds burned off pretty quickly. By I don't know, nine or ten am, it was pretty clear again. It was clear all day yesterday, lunchtime, afternoon and evening got kind of warm, although the wind

was up a little bit so that kept it kind of cool. But today there's not a cloud in the sky. Beautiful day. I don't remember ever attending a ham bention in the past where it didn't rain at least one day, so the rain was perfectly time. This time rained over night on Friday for a few hours, not during the show at all. Didn't make everything muddy. One enough raindow make a mud pit out of the flea market area. So I think it worked out very well this year. It's more outcom

stuff. Yeah. M h, let's like some server racks back over there. Oh, that's kind of cool. Burnt hamshack signs m thanks. That's pretty much the end of the line right here as far as the flea market goes. Hmmm, got bo. That's pretty much it as far as the flea market goes. Anyway, what's up, Joe Brett? I saw my wife in there earlier. Good morning. Kind of hard to see the screen out here in the sun. Let's walk back over to the campsite. See

who's there. Say hello to everybody. Yeah, did you see any Atos one twenty Antennis for sale? Just then? No? I did not. I'm pretty sure if they would have had a Mike got one, Mike got an Atos. I'm pretty sure it's the one twenty and he bought it or he found one, and he bought it for a friend of his that was looking for one. He's taken it home, gonna handed off to somebody who asked him to keep an eye out for one. But uh oh, what's this? Okay, we gotta get is a double l something on video?

I'm pretty sure that two dollars pretty you're pretty sure? Two hundred ninety nine dollars Australian.
