[KYHAM] Shack Cleaning Sale

Tue May 29 20:17:06 CDT 2007

Hello, After being off the air for at least 3 years due to no space for a shack I have decided to abandon the idea all together.  Still, I am anxious to get back on the air.  I am instead opting for totally portable operation with a Buddipole.

  Now my fiancee has a slightly different view of all of this.  Definitely and issue of one woman's trash is some poor man's treasure.  She thinks I'm a geek.  Then again she has asked to go to the computer store on dates (so she has her geek side as well) and  has agreed to sell everthing we don't absolutely need and move into a sailboat within 2 years.

  I am disposing of the following equipment, the prices are only guesses and suggestions.  Since I've been out of the loop I'm not sure what is fair so please don't hesitate to make offers.  Also, if someone knows a needy ham or club I will donate certain items to a good home.  

  I would consider trading the whole pile plus a homebrew Buddipole for a commercial Buddipole.  My primary goal here is to thin things out, get a decent antenna, and get on the air.  Again, if you want something and don't like the price, please make me an offer.

  Antennas
  Hamsticks - 6m, 20m, and 40m:  $10 each or 25 for all
  Hustler - Resonators - 10, 17, 20, 40, 80:  $8 each 35 for all                  
               Short mast and 3 resonator adapter plate:  $5 for the pair
  Workman - 2m base:  $10
  AEA Hotrod 2m 1/2 wave BNC: $8
  Mag mount with 3/8 stud:  $3
  Clamp on mirror mount:  $3
  Homebrew 2m 5/8 wave colinear base with about 50' coax:  Free to good home.
  I'll take $50 for everything listed above.

  Misc / Feedline
  Comet 514-J Triplexer:  $25
  3 position antenna switch:  $5
  RG-8 coax ~50', several years old but unused:  $5
  ~ 23' x 4" aluminum sailboat mast, great for antennas:  $25 
  ~ 25' x 4" PVC mast:  Free to good home.
  2 ~7' fiberglass extendable fishing poles from home brew dipole project:  Free to good home
  I'll take $45 for this lot.

  Parts
  QRP Homebrewer's parts boxes, not junk because I threw all of that away.  I'm talking discrete components, most are sorted in bins:  Including resistors, capacitors, semiconductors, pots, connectors, project boxes, switches, panel meters, speakers, and on and on.  There are even odd items like a hexidecimal switch, a 10 turn pot, a crystal filter, and a PLL chip.  There is even an Altoids tin  These are hard to price individually.  I would think there is almost $200 worth of stuff.  
  I'll take $50 for the lot.
