[AMRadio] HUGE Estate Auction

[Don Merz]

All removed the same day? From rural SD? If anyone on the list goes to this, 
please share your experience. Important lesson here...all the stuff that W0ZUS 
treasured has to be disposed of in a heartbeat in one of the worst seller's 
markets anyone ever saw to settle the estate. What will it all bring? $15K? 
$20K. Checkenfeed compared to the value of the property, I bet. The aggravation 
to get rid of it for a value that wouldn't buy a used Hyundai is over the top. I 
applaud the family for having the auction at all and not just renting a couple 
dumpsters or calling the metal scrappers. Most families (and there will be many 
like this over the next decade) will not go to the effort--and nobody can blame 
them. As we admire our piles and pass our next birthdays, we might want to keep 
that thought in mind. 


73, Don Merz, N3RHT

As advertised on p. 51, July Electric Radio, WØZUS estate.

Saturday, 27 August  starting at 9:30 AM, Rural Edgemont, SD. All purchases

homebrew AM transmitters, many more transmitters and receivers, tubes, test 
equipment, towers, microphones, speakers, etc.  Parts include filter 
capacitors, RF inductors, air variable capacitors, meters, knobs, tube

Too bad this is such a far away, remote location for most of the AM 
operators. Hopefully this stuff can still be saved from the landfill.
