Anyone interested in owning a major contest station in Nevada?

Tom Taormina K5RC is closing up contest/ DXing superstation W7RN.

See his text. This is a tough but realistic decision by Tom after so 
many years. Pass it on, if you know anyone or group who might want to 
buy a ready-made antenna farm and stellar QTH.

The station's antennas have been used by many guest contesters.

Now's a chance for somebody to get a unique spot!

Unfortunately, my four-month battle with COVID has left permanent damage 
to my body. I cannot continue with my current workload. Midge also has 
degenerating health issues. We’ve been forced to make the strategic 
decision to move back to Texas, where our 3 sons live, so we can have 
caretakers when it comes to that. Sometime this summer we will make the 
move. Before that, we must sunset W7RN. There are two options for that. 
First (and preferred) is to sell the house and station to another ham. 
This assumes that there precious few who could make such a life-changing 
commitment, so I am posting this before we make the decision to 
dismantle the station. Alternatively, we have a policy with Ham Estates 
to come dismantle the station and sell off the assets. Details are at 
http://www.w7rn.com/w7rn-for-sale/ . Please distribute this to NCDXF, 
REDEXA, Mother Lode and any other source of potential candidates. P.S. I 
am still committed to achieving life membership in NCCC this September.
