[PVRCNC] Harbour Rock VP5

[William Schrader]

Well said, Jim! We all will be pulling for a hamcation interested buyer.

Quick question: what, if any, rigs/antennas etc would be negotiable for
inclusion in a purchase?

What licensing and call sign transfers might be possible?
The call alone is a draw!
