Sounds good.  You got an idea what it'll take to ship it to you.  Consider it
yours. Contact me by snail-mail at P.O. Box 614, West Burlington, Iowa. Send
along your address and I'll ups ship it to you.
BTW, tried to look for you on the air when I was down in Fort Worth Texas a
few weeks ago. GHung out on that 440 link system you guys have down there.
Sure a nice system.
How does that link get to the west coast?  Sure neat.
Be more than happy to sell you that radio.  Was hoping to put it on the air
for repeater duty  but have other priorities right now than Ham radio.

I was wondering...  Do you have the CB Operators Handbook titled
"101 obcentitives heard on the radio"? I forgot the author, but that

This baby never got much action in my shack other than as a receiver. I
bought it from the original owner. The only transmit use it received this
ear
was during Field day where it ran for 26 Hours straight!!! and never missed a
lick! Asking $425.00 or best SERIOUS offer....Why do I say SERIOUS????????
This thing has been sold FOUR TIMES...only to have the person buying it have
some sort of "Emergency" at the last minute abd crap out on me. So heres my
words of advice.....If you are driving a car thats ready to fall apart, If
ou
are three house payments behind and the bank is threatening forclosure, If
your
kids are starting to eat the furniture because theres no food in the house,
f
you've spent more money on the Radio Shack than you have o your Family's
clothing this year, and finally if you have One too many Radios over the
imit
as it is......THEN THIS RADIO IS NOT FOR YOU!!!!!!! I only wish to talk with
those individuals who are reasonably secure in their futures and their
finances. This will avoid pulling out what little remains of my hair as it
is!!!
I can be reached via Email at gregm@tchnet.com or on my BBS 517-783-4005

 You might want to check with Phil, KB5CUI (out here in portland,Or) he is
current in the electronic versions of the call book, and published ones after
june of 96. He is handling the estate sale of Gary, K7MHE, and Gary was quite
the collector of everything SWAN, Heath, Collins, National, and Hammarlund.
He also had several of heath's linears and the like and some drake gear.
73's, hope that helps.   I know it will help Gary's Loved ones to ease the
pain. I believe it is going to be auction or perhaps sealed bid. Phil should
have details. --73's de KB7WTD..John
