[HCARC] Ham Radio Mini-Store

[Gary and Arlene Johnson]

Would it make sense for the club to have a Mini-Store where members can buy relatively needed pieces and parts to prevent having to pay shipping costs when ordering over the internet.  I would think that a mini store might have things like SO-239s, PL-259's, N connectors, a 1000 ft roll of Coax to sell by the foot, ladder line by the foot, braided grounding strap in a roll to sell by the foot,  parts to make baluns and ununs made into kits, and I am sure other parts such as power pole connectors that I am unaware of the need for.  The treasury seems to have enough money in it to be able to front the $$ needed to get the store going and it would be a good backup for parts needed for field day.  Charge for the items at cost plus 10% to cover losses/shortages.

Comments??
