There was also a demon stration of satellite reception of televisi on signals , co mplet e with a big dish set up outs ide of the exh ibit ion area. This dr ew a lot of attention . . .and presum abl y so me sa les. I snapped a picture of a repla y of an interview with me wh ich was done by a local TV station. Among th e fl ea-mark et goo d ies was thi s most reasonably pri ced early model reel-to-reel video recorder. I think I have one of th ose up in the att ic so mewhere. Black and white and with a 20-minute capacity, it is not relevant wit h today's VTR systems. The banquet was very well attended and was certa inly o ne of the better banquet s I've had as far as the foo d was con cerned. First ra t e. Th e s pea ke r ... wel f . . .m od esty f orbi d s any comments. BONUS TALK In addit ion to my scheduled ha mfest talks at Balti more and Richland (WA) th is year, 1 di d take ti me off from wo rk at co m pute r shows to give short and relativel y unannoun ced talks at Cerritos College in Cerrito s (near Anaheim) and Triton College, near Chi cag o. The Chi cago Suburban Radio Association set up th e det ails for my talk during th e Summe r Consumer Electronics Show in Chicago in Jun e. They did a nice jo b of filling mu ch of the room at th e college and were k ind enough not to sno re too loudly as th ey dozed off. Nice group. I reall y hat e it wh en peop le fall out of their cha irs while I am talk ing. That was a new idea, so I grappled with it for a bit and had t o agree th at there was much to th e co ncept. Those of us who are getting on in years are able to rem em ber th e days of th e nickel con e, th e nickel hot dog , the nickel beer, the nickel subway ride, the nickel Coke, and so fort h. Most of those nostalgic nick el items are now twe lve to fifteen times as expensive, so a ten times increase in gas prices, whi ch is about what we've had , seems hard ly worth getting bent out of shape ove r. In som e cases, prices have gone down through the years . . . suc h as wi th electronics . Where techno logy has been abl e to cut labor costs, this makes sense. . . and pac king th e equi valen t of a hundred thousand tube circuits on a chip a qu art er inch square is quite a tech nologi cal advance. But oil stil l is a resou rce w ith few technol og ical improvements . . . and thus not am enable to significant lowering of costs. Larger ships and pipes have cut cos ts somewhat, but then we've had to get th e oil from mor e distant and more expensive environments such as Alaska . Wh ere we ran into a lot of trouble was by keeping the oil prices from gro wing wit h infl a ti on for several years, thu s enco urag ing the bu ild ing of poo rly insulated buildin gs, ineff icient power generati on , and other oil was ters. Inste ad of pursuing mor e eff ic ient uses of energ y ove r the years , the art if ic ial holding down of oil price s enco uraged the use of oll. Thus we have little research done in steam-powe red cars, hybrid oil ! elect ric cars , met hane cars, hydrog en power, etc. RADAR TEST A team from Dave Bell Ass o cia tes, the people who have been doing the fin e ama teur radio prom ot ional fil ms, came up one Sunday to do a bit o n police rada r. Since 1 probably have more radar detect ors in the 73 MagaZine van than does any other ca r in th e co untry, Peterborou gh wa s a natural spot to fi lm . We spent the best part of a w hole day filming a fo ur- or fivemi nute segment for showing on NBC in late Augu st. You no doubt missed it. The New Hampshire state police cooperated by sending two patrol cars to hand out speeding tickets at the favorite Peterborou gh moneym aker . .. right in fro nt of our Instant Soft wa re build ing . The fil ming tea m got fine pictures of the sto pping and ticket ing of the peopl e. .. and a co up le of interviews with th e tlc ketees. I showed th e crew the difference in sens itivity between the reg ular rada r detectors, which picked up the police signals just as th e van came over th e crest of the hill, barely giving time to avo id a heavy fine and loss of a driver's licen se . . . and the new superhet systems, such as the Escort a nd Super W his t ler, which pick ed up th e radar unit over a half mi le furt her away .. . down at th e bottom of the hill and far out of sight and range of the radar units. The loc al computer store wa s the re with an exh ibi t, too. I also stopped off to see th eir store and was pleased to find Inst ant Software on di splay. The committee did a nice job of organizing th e hamfest. I think they might have pulled more ham s if they had done a lot more PR work, getting the wo rd on some of the special events out a few mon ths befo re the ham fest so people co uld plan for th e trip. I know th at I got very little informati on on th e ham fest in time to get it into 73 Magazine. This is the obligatory PR shot of the Powers That Be of the CSRA, flanking Sherry and me. On the lett is Bill True WA9ASO and on the right Greg Johnson WB9ZHA, who made the arran gem ent s for my appearance. Talk of his subsequent tar an d feat hering is merel y rumor. THOSE LOW GAS PRICES Someo ne (WA6ILQ) m entioned the ot her day th at gas prices have not real ly gone up, it's just that the valu e of th e dollar has gone down w ith inflati on. 246 73 Magazine .
