[Milsurplus] TCK-4 info

[George Babits]

Yea, last weak I sold an RBM to a guy in China.  Global shipping says it is 
"Restricted." It  will go into their crusher, or their thrift store, or 
somebody else's collection.  Wonder who foots the bill for that?  Last 
winter they "took" my WS-52 receiver section which was headed for Italy; and 
an ART-13 speech amp that was headed fro Spain.  Pretty dangerious military 
hardware.  I have been very careful after that to NEVER use "military" in 
the listing title.

73,
George
