Went to the Forum Speaker check-in area, and got my badge for the Contest Forum. He was apparently going to be the speaker at the Grand Banquet. Lots of computer stuff as usual, including one or two booths staffed by guys speaking Russian. Now they're everywhere. Times have changed.
RAM still seems a bit pricey, though.
One of my first stops was the New Wireless Pioneers booth - they deal in old radio books, and occasionally have QSTs that I need to finish my collection. These were the real thing, including stamps indicating who had owned them, and the date they were canceled. Ran outside for a quick look in the flea market space of another 'old stuff' dealer. This book is interesting, since it was written in 1977, and much of the humor would now be considered very politically incorrect. Others think you are pushy.
