[Wswss] Need 2M Antennas hauled from Fresno to OR/WA

[Johnson, Larry]

Yes, I sure did, Robert.  Bob, K7XI drives a truck, and he so graciously
offered to detour from Fresno through Clovis and pick them up on his way
back to the NW last weekend. He picked up everything and brought them to his
home in Oregon, and his YL friend is bringing them over here to the Portland
area for me this afternoon. He absolutely refused to accept any gas money or
anything for his time and trouble, a real gentleman ham. He saved me at
least $200+ gas money and 24+ hours travel. I sure didn't want to drive down
to the Fresno area in the middle of August, so I probably would have just
passed on these antennas!

I'm looking forward to trying them out from my new home on the top of a
1750' ridge.

73, and thanks again to everyone who offered to help!

Hi Larry,

May be too late already, but did you get those antennas moving up your 
way?  Where in the Fresno area are they?  I will be going to W6OMF's place 
for labor day.  You might be able to find someone else from there.
