[Alexandria Radio Club Reflector] Excess gear mystery

[Rich Adamy]

It's 2 repeaters.

One is a GE MASTR II VHF repeater.  It's been tuned to 147.315.

The other is a GE lowband mobile that has been converted to a 6 meter
repeater.

Both were in working order when taken to Mark's house

They are NOT hazardous materials.

They are outdated.  If they do not sell at Winterfest, THEN take them to
recycling.  Fairfax County recycles electronic parts.
