Hello All...

After an absence of about 5½ years, I'm back!  I'm starting off phase two 
of my DC Boatanchors by tenure helping John Swafford, W4HU, reduce the size 
of his hamshack to assist his move from his home to an apartment.  If you 
don't know John, I'm sure you'll remember him as the author of the ARRL 
Report in the Foundation for Amateur Radio's magazine AUTOCALL and its 
long-time circulation manager.

The idea is to hopefully find loving homes for John's stuff (the big items 
in particular) before Saturday so I can go to the FAFfest to wander to 
visit and shop and not tailgate, so please, give this some thought.  Keep 
in mind that these are asking prices, particularly on the big items, and I 
don't want to go tailgating, so offers will be entertained, pending 
approval from John.

If any of these prices are out-of-line either too high or too low, please 
tell me that too.

Most of these things are will original manuals, but I have to throw in the 
disclaimer that I have misplaced several them in my house somewhere.  I do 
expect them to turn up.

The partial list follows below.  Contact me at bc342n at earthlink.net with 
your phone number and the best time to call.  If enough of these items sell 
and I don't have to do the tailgate thing, I can meet you at the FARfest 
(http://www.farfest.org/) that we can arrange.

Note again that all of this belongs to W4HU.

meter FM radio) that you might want to inquire about.  Or maybe not.  :-)

Tony Stalls, K4KYO
