[HoustonHam] [Microwave] Parting out 6 GHz gear

[Chris Boone]

Dave,

Is any of that gear from GSU/ Entergy??? (MIR 6) 

If so, I know it like the back of my hand......I WORKED on it.

If not, may have a use for it anyway 

And yes I think it can be moved..not easily..

Steve (currently Telecom Supv of Entergy TX and KE5O), any comments?? (could
we use that between POCO and Doucette??? :)
