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 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.

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.
