All,

Frank Van Zant (KO0R) needs to sell/move a basement full of radio 
equipment to a storage area.   Frank has to have his house on the market 
by Jan 15th unfortunately due to health issues and his room at assisted 
living just is not big enough. 

Please mark you calendars for Saturday January 2nd starting at 8:15 AM.  
It would be easiest to meet at Bear Creek Park parking lot (off 21st 
Street) then we can migrate to his house.  I will send out his exact 
address before January 2nd (sorry I forgot it and can not find my note 
right now).  Also if someone wants to suggest a talk-in frequency that 
would be a good too.

What we need:
   -  Trucks
   -  Vans with side doors
   -  heavy 2-wheel loading carts
   -  low trailers (covered just in case of wet roads, rain, or snow)

He is getting a storage shed within a mile or two of the house.  This 
allows all the equipment to be in one place.

 From Frank:
"The more sold the merrier I say. I will be glad to answer questions 
short of knowing serial numbers which I don't have without looking at 
the unit.  I can pretty well describe the condition of each unit and any 
known problems or lack thereof. I also have pictures I can email of most 
of the equipment.  Most everything has a manual if we can find it 
downstairs.  The Ham books are also for sale too.

Tons of parts can just be shoveled into boxes for sorting later.  There are meters, dials, tuning condensers, etc etc and small stuff. Everything that a tinkerer, home brewer could possibly want. I'm afraid that Ross Auction got all my tools or most."

Please feel free to email Frank if there is something particular you are 
looking for.  Frank's email is in the "to" list. 

A little background for those that do not know Frank:
Frank has been published in about every major amateur radio publication 
including but not limited to QST, and the ARRL Handbook.  Frank's 
dedication to amateur radio has been 60 years so far.  Frank has working 
equipment from the 1920s to the present.

Thanks and 73,

Dan - W0RO
