HAM RADIO ESTATE GARAGE SALE:

The family of Jim Alexander K0HIP and Margaret Alexander KC5MCS(sk) will be selling their collection of ham radio equipment at a garage sale in Russellville, Arkansas on September 25th and 26th from 8am to 1pm each day. The sale will be at the family QTH at 1511 North Jackson Street, Russellville, AR. I’ll attach pictures of Jim’s multi decade collections of ham radio gear, including rigs from Drake, Kenwood, Johnson including an antenna tuner, linear amplifier, B Line a Vibroplex Bug, and Lionel J-38 straight key plus other items far to numerous to list. Jim made his living as a broadcast engineer for many years, and this collection includes a considerable amount of spare parts for ham radio and broadcast gear, along with test equipment.

I can testify that the equipment shown in the operating position works. All of K0HIP’s DXCC contacts and a considerable number of mine were made at this operating position. Starting in 1985 I was a frequent guest of the Alexander family and we both enjoyed chasing CW dx. I can not tell you that all of the gear is fully functional. Jim was active on the bands up until a year or so ago, before his health forced a move to a care facility. All gear in this sale is sold with no guarantee, implied or otherwise.

Feel free to direct any questions to me at W5EN@hotmail.com. If I do not know the answer I’ll do my best to find it. I am not being compensated in any way in this sale, all proceeds will stay with Jim and Margaret’s family.
