Along with all the normal events that take place at the Charlotte Conference, this year we will also be auctioning the collection of museum quality rare collectible radios and accessories that belonged to our dear friend Ernie Hite WB4KFL.
Ernie's passion was for collecting the rarest early radio equipment in the most
pristine condition.
The DeForest 15 Panel set shown above is just one example of the incredible museum grade radios that will be sold in this auction.
The photo below is of Ernie just after he bought the DeForest 15 Panel at the
2000 Charlotte show.
Until the 2010 show
2010 will be a full regular Charlotte Conference,
just with the addition of the estate auction.
There will still be the forums on Thursday afternoon, flea market on Friday and Saturday mornings, our regular old equipment auction on Friday afternoon, the banquette on Friday evening, the Kickoff luncheon on Thursday at 12 noon,
and the wrap-up luncheon on Saturday.
All the great things you love about the Charlotte show,
plus this incredible estate auction, and more.
