Hi -

If you're a new ham--perhaps a freshly minted Technician--and are interested in the upcoming 10M contest, you may be in the market for a HF radio so you can try your hand at contesting, and HF in general! If you fit in this category, I may be able to help.

I have an Icom IC-718 HF (160 - 10M) transceiver that's been sitting in my closet. I dusted it off and made a quick QSO to Iowa, so I know it still works. I'm offering this to a member of TVARC for a reasonable price. For $500.00, you get:

• The IC-718, with manual, in the original box
• a Tigertronics SignaLink USB sound card so you can enjoy digital modes, like FT8 (but not in this contest)
• Wiring for the SignaLink to the radio
• An MFJ straight key, so you can try hour hand at CW and Morse code
  
• And a 10M wire dipole

If you're interested, please email me at [email protected]
