[HCRA] HCRA Auction - tomorrow evening!

[Jim - KK1W]

Just one day to go until we can have FUN at the HCRA auction! The weather
promises to be cool but nice so your last possible excuse has been
eliminated.

 

At 7:00 PM tomorrow evening, (6:00 PM for sellers) the Feeding Hills
Congregational Church will be where our annual auction gets started. There's
lots of stuff on its way, great HCRA donations, a raffle prize and new food
selections for 2009. Here's a short list of what you can expect:

 

1.	A LOT of amateur radio items to bid on. Choose from a few HF rigs,
four HT, antenna tuner, headphones and more. And that's only from the
donations so far.
2.	PDA, tablet PC's, wireless keyboards.
3.	A telescope, GPS and lots of A/V gear.
4.	J&J (Jim and Jack) Hot Dogs this year. Fresh hot dogs and buns to
keep you fueled during the bidding.
5.	Win a VX-150R HT in the raffle.
6.	NO entrance fees for sellers or buyers! (no need to be a member
either - everyone is welcome, bring a friend or two)!

 

A few rules changes this year:

 

1.	Maximum charge per item is 10% of the first $250 ($25).
2.	All items have a minimum bid of $1.00
3.	The order of presentation will be managed to keep interest high
throughout the auction.
4.	Starts promptly at 7:00PM.
5.	Additional auctioneers to keep things flowing throughout the evening
- no breaks in the action!
6.	And as always, please leave your monitors and printers at home. They
don't sell.

 

The HCRA auction is a great place to get started on your station, fill your
parts bin or simply see a great cross section of amateur radio technology
throughout the years. It won't cost you a penny (unless you buy something)
and you WILL have FUN! Of course the prudent amateur will stop by the ATM on
the way "just in case" something comes up for auction you just "have to
have"!

 

See you tomorrow night,
