John,

The list admins of some of the QTH.NET lists will certainly object and 
probably kick you off the list if you persist.  I'm not speaking for Ralph of course 
but this list tends to be somewhat more lenient.  I would suggest making it 
clearer that you're not advertising one of your items, though.  That is 
"frowned upon".  The concensus being that if you wanted to sell it to a list member, 
you should have offered it to the list first.  :-)

Nice looking PA system.  And it's easy to see why it has no bids.  The only 
keyword I saw that some of us might search on is the single word "Army".  The 
seller didn't even mention a single nomenclature.  I know a few of the list 
members have working military PA sets.  Maybe one of them will grab it.
