It is all over in the bay area. When manufacturing got outsourced, so did the surplus.
A lot of my lab is made up of Foothill and Livermore flea market purchases. (The local Metro PCS tech had the surplus Symetricomm and similar gear.) Foothiil begat the Lockheed parking lot which begat DeAnza. It is mostly junk. Livermore did good until the community college decided not to allow it to be hosted there. It was moved to a park and ultimately shut down. The TRW swapmeet is on my bucket list. -----Original Message----- From: paul swed <paulsw...@gmail.com> Sender: time-nuts-boun...@febo.com Date: Sun, 15 Apr 2012 17:53:35 To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement<time-nuts@febo.com> Reply-To: Discussion of precise time and frequency measurement <time-nuts@febo.com> Subject: Re: [time-nuts] LORAN-C at MIT Don It is indeed quite an interesting meet. There are some in San Francisco with the same feel. Though my Ham friends say that may be kind of in the past.
