There are probably at least half a dozen guys in Oregon I'm sure you
could get to come and help move that stuff. Dave was pretty well known
in the milsurplus community. I'm probably five hours away.

Among other things, Dave had a PRC-47 with converters set up with a
28V MITE. It's probably still there, along with a MITE ASR, I believe.
I would be surprised if there isn't a lot of the Radio stuff left-Dave
had quite a collection. He had a website: Real radios have Motors, or
something like that-you can check it out.

There were about six or eight of us who helped clear out Pete's house,
I think most of us went home with a car load of stuff. It's just that
there was still a 24' truckload of stuff for George and Alan to haul
home. (I remember there being about 10 M28 KSR's-everybody on the work
crew already had one) A lot of the real "choice" items George said
were already spoken for- not sure of those people ever showed up to
claim them.
