Pacificon 2011: Flea Market and Breakfast with Gordon West

A bit of a tour around the flea market in total darkness.

Then I moved inside for the morning breakfast with Gordon West as the morning's speaker. This is always a great way start Pacificon with Gordo getting everyone revved up for the day.

I guess I am getting old, I knew every one of those models as soon as he mentioned them, and what they cost, tube compliment and what major problem each had;>)

@km6xz You must be a bit older than me!

Maybe Gordon should do standup comedy although he would only get laughs in venues like Pacificon. I get his humor so that alone is proof I have been active for a while. My license was granted by the FCC 8 years ago this month but unfortunately I still have not gotten up to General yet.

@bratina501 Well, seems like you need to get some of Gordo's study material and get your General.

It was nice to finally meet you for an "eyeball QSO" at Pacificon.

I picked up a few good deals at the flea market. There was a

good selection of stuff considering the limited size of the Market.

Thanks for all the great videos!

Randy - Hope to attend Pacificon sometime. What a treat to have you share the event with us. Thanks!

@K7AGE Yep I have been thinking about that myself and now seems to be about the best time.
