[EIDXA] HAMKITT

The HAMKITT store in Des Moines, Iowa is closing it's doors due to poor sales. Joe Leto, W0IW; opened the Des Moines, Iowa retail business with the intent to provide local hams an amateur radio store to visit. He also had a web site providing online sales. 

The ham store void in the area was an attraction for Joe to start his business and it was well received by the locals. The poor economy caused reduced sales and made the venture unprofitable. We all know that the light bill and rent must be paid.

Hi folks, well we tried and sold most the store, and now we are having to close our doors...
Not enough local support = not enough revenue to keep a ham radio store alive and well..
Is the basic reason she's closing FOR GOOD...

STOP IN STILL...AND PICK UP COAX/POWER/ SUPPLIES/MAG MOUNTS VHF/UHF RADIOS NEW AND USED RADIOS ETC......

The one thing we can say for sure is the folks that supported the store really did a great
job and the folks that didn't have time to come in that's OK too, seems like there's
never enough time in the day..

THE REMAINING INVENTORY IS STILL FOR SALE UNTIL WE CLOSE SOON!!
