[CQ-Contest] W7RM ANTENNA FARM FOR SALE with 3bdrm SHACK $280,000 +

[Dan Eskenazi]

Rush W7RM, has moved to assisted living and his place is now for sale.

Its located in Lacenter WA, a bit north of the OR/WA border in Portland.

There were plans to disassemble the entire antenna farm and sell it all,
but spoke w/ his son Bruce, and mentioned that perhaps there
is a deserving DXer who may want to retire to the country and a ready made
superstation.

Understand its 5 acres a nice home, barn, and 5 big towers loaded with
big beams.

Its probably a bit of a  dream to think that one of us may know someone who 
would
fit the bill and take the place, but its sure worth a try while its all 
together...

House price on 5 acres is $280.  County assesment is $275.  Subdividable.
Antennas and towers price TBD with Rushs son Bruce.

W7RM is RADIO HISTORY and deserves a chance at staying together in one piece
before being scattered to the winds..  This is all really none of my 
business but I feel
obliged to at least try and find someone to continue the spirit of a big NW 
superstation
with so much history.

PUT ON YOUR THINKING CAPS!!  THERE IS PROBABLY SOMEONE REALLY EAGER
TO GET OUT OF THE CITY AND START REAL DXING AGAIN!!!   HERES A GREAT CHANCE!!!

HELLO RADIO.....are you out there??

Antennas
I hope these dimensions are correct-I did not climb up to measure em--ha ha!!
2 - full sized 3 el 40m
3 - 20m 5 el 60' boom
3 - 15m 6 el 60' boom
4 - 10m  6 el 40' boom
1 - 10m  6 el 40' boom (on the ground)
1 - 4band 4el Quad (biggg)

I think booms are all 4" and masts are 3" and if my memory is correct there 
are  some 10 prop pitch rotor motors on the towers.
