Special Announcements

My brother-in-law (KA9EBD) recently passed away and his daughter asked if I would try to sell his radio equipment. He was quite active on the bands. He has a considerable amount of equipment and I have made a list of all of it and put it on an Excel spreadsheet which is attached. I also have taken some photos of the equipment which are included as well.

There is also a beam with a rotator motor and controller as well as a few other antennas at his home, which will be placed on the market. These antennas are also part of the equipment list and are included in the equipment sale. It will be the responsibility of the buyer to remove these from the home.

I want to sell all of the listed equipment as a total package rather than individually. This used equipment will total over $3,000 and I will sell the whole thing for $1,800. I believe this should be fair enough price for the equipment as well as the new owner(s). Click here for Excel spreadsheet with photos & listing of ham gear

Please feel free to contact me via Email. I am located in the Joliet Area.
