[Elecraft] OT Donating Surplus Gear

[Paul Huff]

With my wife’s encouragement, I recently purchased my “holy grail” radio - an Elecraft KX3.  Along with this purchase came the decision to reduce my radio “footprint” and get rid of a lot of my old gear that is no longer getting much use.  Some of this equipment has some non-trivial monetary value, but I don’t need the money, I don’t want to go through the hassle of trying to sell it, and I don’t want to deal with shipping issues.  I want to just give it away locally, preferably to a club that could use it (or the proceeds from selling it) to help younger or disadvantaged hams get on the air.

I’m a 100% QRP/CW operator and most of this stuff relates to that.  The gear includes an Elecraft K1, Rockmite 30, SST40, MFJ Versa Tuner II, Astron PS, various accessories and numerous books.  I have a 3-page pdf document that gives a complete list.  Almost everything is in perfect working order and there are both hard and digital copies for most of the owners manuals.

I will organize everything, box it up, and can deliver it to just about anywhere in the SE Michigan area.  I want to donate all of it as a group and not piece it out a little bit at a time.  If you are associated with a local club that could use this donation to promote ham radio, or know somebody who is,  please contact me off the list.

Thanks and 73,
