As many will recall, Chuck K0QLH was a regular check-in of the Nebraska Storm Net. He recently died and his XYL Jan is selling his equipment. She advertised it in the Penny Press circular. She had a call from someone at Falls City who said he would take it all, but there was no mention of prices. She thinks she got a spam call from Kearney, when she called back the voice was different.
I told her to hold tight until we received comments back from friends of Chuck on what kind of money she should be expecting
Chuck died about a month ago. His XYL Jan has moved into a small duplex and I bet can use all the help she can get. I was afraid someone might rip her off if she has no idea what this gear may be worth. He was a long time pharmacist and owned the Hebron Drug Store . He told me once he felt sorry for many older people who could not afford their meds. He said that is why I am not a rich man. He was a giving person! We need to look after his widow.
Jan's number is 402 768 2500. She is a very interesting lady. When Chuck met her, she was a Marine Corps nurse. Please tell her if you call, you are calling from an ad Dave Messing of Nebraska City had initiated .
Chuck always had a great barefoot signal and great audio with the TS570D, and matching Kenwood accessories, and trap antenna. From what I see with the Kenwood TS570D HF transceiver, and its matching Kenwood pieces, the two 2 meter rigs, manuals, Hy-Gain 14AVQ and antennas, fair price should be worth $900, as the sought after TS-570 and its items are being advertised on QTH at $700.
Jan is a motivated seller.
Someone I trust gave me an appraisal:
My comments on a few pieces of Chuck's equipment:
Kenwood 570 D HF transceiver 400-500 with the manual. I bought my last one from Dave Schulman for 400 with the original box but no manual
Kenwood SP 31 Filter Speaker. 100-125. There is one on EBAY now for 92 and free shipping from Tenn.
Kenwood PS 33 Power Supply. 100-125. This will deliver 20 amps with 25 percent duty cycle. There are better supplies out there for just a little more money
Kenwood AT 180 Ant. Tuner 125-200 if it hasn't been arced over and fully operational
Turner Mic 25-50
