Hi All,
there are 2 Omni V advertized as loaded and mint on QTH Classifieds. Alas,
they are both sold @ $ 650.
I spent 2 hours looking at the Omni V's photos and reading all reviews.
Fabulous transceiver!

To overcome my antenna problems, I bought a LDG Z 11 Pro II tuner and the
End Fedz WF-20 antenna.
And with a replacement member card of RAST, I'm now having permission to go
to the club station HS0AC once that member card materializes. Anyhow, is
anyone selling a mint Omni V or VI for a similar price as Jim K1NA? In that
case, please give me a chance to buy it! CONUS shipping, no hassle with
customs forms. And no hurry - no advance payment scam here.

Wednesday was very disappointing. I screwed up sending, then fled the scene
of the accident, doing QSY on impulse. That led to me being shunned on 20 m.
But then, a FIST was calling CW: Nao JO3HPM. He sure made my day! And I want
a Ten Tec transceiver, not the FT-1000 MK5.

Oh, there isn't one Ten Tec transceiver legally in Thailand. And if I get
caught, I may have to pay ~ $ 800 to get it type approved by the Thai NTC.
The other Omni VI is for my shack in DL.

Wishing you all good DX and mni tnx to OM Fred for putting me on the right
track again.
