[Hmm, this previous message got stuck in my outbox...]

There will be a sale Wed thru Sat 9a-6p at the qth of W0LER:

321 109TH LN NW
COON RAPIDS, MN 55448

There is a lot of nice gear that we have tried to price pretty 
reasonably.  In addition to the VHF gear I knew he had, John was also 
quite a collector.  He had vintage Johnson, Heathkit, National, 
Hammarlund, Swan, Central Electronics etc HF gear all hooked up and 
operating, all in beautiful physical condition.  Also historic vintage 
microphones and keys.  We told his daughter-in-law to hold pretty firm 
on prices until Saturday, as I figure many hams with interest may not be 
able to get there earlier.

The big stuff:
(3) 6' racks that were filled with gear.  Still in the racks are 2M and 
432 kilowatts.  The 432 is a standard K2RIW that runs a pair of 
4cx250's.  The 2m amp is similar.  They both use the same HV supply, and 
seem to each have their own bias and screen supplies.  We will make 
someone a really sweet deal on the whole shebang!  Don't be bashful with 
your offer.

The tower looks like a 48' BX.  It is a clean setup with 3 decent 
looking antennas:

2m Cushcraft Junior Boomer
432 Cushcraft 424B
1296 55el F9FT
Yaesu rotator
I didn't check the feedlines...

Someone would like to buy the antennas but has not made an offer. That 
would be if they were down... yeah, right.  I told her, the only deal is 
to let someone haul it all away for taking it down.  If you are 
interested, I will lobby your case.  They need to clear out by the end 
of next week, though I'm not sure that includes the tower.

There are lots of books at $1, lots of boxes of parts at $5 per box.  
Well worth a look.
