[VHFcontesting] Microwave station no longer for sale

[Jerry Siegmund]

I would have to Agree with you Zack! I have made Many Purchases with 
E-Bay.. and found Pretty Much 'All the Hams' I dealt with were honest. I 
have had a couple minor blurbs.. but were for Low enough prices that I 
did not make a Big Deal over it!  Have a few more additions to the 'Junk 
Drawer' that may be of use one day!
Many in the US  will not Ship to Canada though.. I found away around 
that though.. I am fortunate enough to live just 60mi from the 
'Metropolis of Sweet Grass, MT' !  I have the items either Shipped 
'General Delivery' to the P.O. there.. or to the UPS Warehouse.. and 
just 'drive down one day and "pick 'em up"! (thought for you VE's if 
your close enough to the Border!)
My Last trip South.. Two VHF All Modes, Vibroplex Iambic, RS-70M P.S., 
MFJ-269 Analyzer, and 10 N-Type for LMR-600.. and it cost me Tax! 
$47.50  ! All were from E-Bay except for the connectors!
(Ok.. maybe I didn't 'Claim Everything' in the Jeep!) :-)
