This morning, we’re about to head out to the Greene County Fairgrounds for the final day of the 2019 Hamvention. The past two days have been amazing and, as always, it’s been a pleasure to meet so many SWLing Post readers and contributors–thank you for stopping by!
Below, I’ve posted photos I took at the Hamvention Flea Market Friday morning. Note that most of these photos were taken prior to the flea market opening. Once again, I was most impressed with the number of vintage radios on display. Although it had rained early in the morning, it completely subsided by 7:00 AM so the grounds were in great shape by the 9:00 AM opening time.
2019 Hamvention Flea Market Photos Click on the thumbnail images below to expand each photo. I’ve tried to include price tags when available. I plan to post inside exhibit photos tomorrow.

HFClock Internet Based Clock System – 9″ Tiger Maple Frame
The HFClockTM represents the industry’s first highly integrated clock designed for use by amateur radio operators. The clocks feature Wi-Fi-based Internet connectivity, a full-color WVGA Liquid Crystal Display with a touchscreen, and the real-time display of numerous data expressly for the amateur radio operator.
The clocks utilize the Network Time Protocol (NTP) which is intended to synchronize all participating computers to within a few milliseconds of Coordinated Universal Time (UTC). The protocol utilizes an algorithm to select accurate time servers and is designed to mitigate the effects of variable network latency. NTP can usually maintain time to within tens of milliseconds over the public Internet and can achieve better than one-millisecond accuracy in local area networks under ideal conditions.
Users simply configure the clock to connect to their Wi-Fi router, enter their call sign/name and a home position (DE), and select how they prefer units to be displayed, Imperial or Metric. Additionally, the user may optionally select a satellite to track in real-time. Once configured, the user may further customize colors to be used for their call sign or name. New firmware updates may be installed via Wi-Fi at the discretion of the user.
The clocks are available with 7” and 9” LCD’s and users may select from furniture-grade hand-finished Walnut, Cherry, and Tiger Maple wooden frames. The HFClocks have been designed by amateur radio operators for radio operators. They are robust in construction and designed for many years of continuous service. The clocks may be hung on a wall, placed on the desktop, or otherwise displayed at your station, home, or office. Start your journey by exploring our hand-finished timepieces made right here in the USA

B26-RF 2K+ KIT 2018

Since the demand for assemblies has increased, it is unfortunate that we no longer have an option to package and send all of the individual parts. To make it easier for everyone, the B26-RF 2K+.amplifier will only be offered as a more complete kit.
What are the primary differences in the individual kit parts and assemblies that were sold previously to allow the user to build a fully functional amplifier versus the PA KIT that is now offered and sold by RF-KIT?
The  PA kit now comes fully assembled (ie all mechanical assembly is complete with drilling and thread cutting professionally implemented).
The PA kit is also already pre-wired with most of the components mounted and only minor HF cabling that is needed for completion by the user.
