by Chris Hackworth 29 Jul '09

Greetings, I am liquidating most of my ham radio collection due to the fact that the house that I am renting is going into foreclosure due to the landlords negligance. I need to amass some money to make sure that I can get another house to rent for my wife and kids. They come first, so my ham radio stuff must go. I have about 55 ham radio related books, from HF and qrp books, to vhf and uhf. Arrl and rsgb books. Arrl Handbooks, Joseph carr books, ,Microwave projects,Etc.... I will also be listing a project ts-440s. all the parts are there, I bought replacement parts from East Coast Transistor, it just needs reassembled. I will also probably be listing the Kenwood T599a and R599a set that I have. Please check under the EBAY user ID of amreviewer102. Please check later tonight, as the wife is currently listing items Thanks for listening and allowing me to post. -- Chris N8PHU ET1(SW) USN (Ret) Chief transmitter Heavy SES-Americom
