Yes - it was vey windy! I dropped in very briefly [could only spend 20 minutes or so looking round because I had to go to Oxford to return the dog who's been staying with me for a couple of days].

I came away with an AEL3030 HF SSB transceiver for £10 (it's got 3 crystal controlled channels - one is already on 80 Metres!), a batch of 2N3819 FETs, and some ferrite toroids/binocular transformer-cores so I can do some more dabbling with direct-conversion receivers.

Overall there seemed to be fewer stalls than in the past - the walkways between the stalls in the middle of the main hall were noticeably wider than in previous years. "Interesting" radios spotted were a bunch of BC343/348-type WWII US Military receivers, a CR100 and a couple of HROs.
