[Boatanchors] My Station Is For Sale

Tue, 27 May 2003 13:16:03 -0700 (PDT)

Duane,

I echo the feelings felt by the rest of the list.  Once its gone, its GONE!!

Take a break, do other things that interest you.  But, DO NOT, repeat, DO NOT sell your equipment!!

I have a number of items that I purchased years ago and I don't even have an Antenna yet!!!

It's like I'm obtaining items so that when I finally have the shack of my dreams, I won't have to go look and pay more money to obtain the items that I already have.

It's kind of a crazy way to go about it.  But, for me right now, it makes sense.

Tks,

John

Once again, the legal system penalizes the innocent and protects the
guilty.
Today I spent $300 for an attorney to tell me that my antenna destruction
incident is a rock solid case, but cost prohibitive to pursue. I can not
recover
any legal fees or associated costs from the guilty parties and the costs
associated with a civil suit against them to recover the damages will
easily
exceed the total of the damages. Yes, I could beat them in small claims
court,
but would probably never collect a cent.    	

Simply put, I win, but end up paying more than I can collect, if I ever
collect
it.   	

I am so disgusted, that I have decided to sell my radio equipment. The joy 
I
felt is gone. My happy dreams have been transformed into nightmares by
irresponsible neighbors. Their blunders have already cost me nearly two
thousand
dollars, and that is money I can not afford to be throwing away when I am
on a
fixed income.    	

As many of you know, I do not use Hallicrafters for NCS operations. My
vintage
gear is all used for listening. Hence, I will not list the solid state
items, or
tube amplifiers, here. Write me direct for a list of that equipment and
prices. 

When the three towers and nine antenna systems are taken down in June, I
will
post them here for sale. I am keeping two short-wave antennas and several
receivers for SW listening. No Ham gear will remain.     	

Although I have never subscribed to the philosophy that Hell was actually
here
on Earth, sometimes it does make one wonder -
