[W8MWA] Some Stuff

[Bayley Brown]

Hi all,

KD8NZT here.  I live in Charleston now, but I'm moving to Eureka,
California on Saturday!  I need to sell a few items that may be of interest
to hams.  I can definitely arrange to get it up to Morgantown if anyone's
interested.

icom IC-746PRO $600 negotiable good condition
Leader Waveform Monitor 5860C no idea if it works FREE

Let me know if you know of anyone who would be interested in any of these
items before Saturday.

Thanks!

73,

Bayley Brown
