Radio Sale Saturday, September 17, 2011

This is a reminder from Georgia:

The radio equipment that was owned by Jim Blackmon, K5VZ, is being sold Saturday, September 17, in Arkadelphia, Arkansas, 10 a.m. til 2 p.m. 1008 Pine St. (That's just off 10th St. - Hwy 7, which is the highway coming into Arkadelphia if you take the 78 mile marker exit. If you take the 72/73 exit, then you're already on Pine Street. Jim's office was right beside the Exxon station and that's where the sale is being held.

I know that there is a hamfest at Catholic High that day and I recommend looking there and then going on to Arkadelphia to look there.

I would attach a list, but it is 5 pages long!!!! and that is just the electrical equipment. I remember there is a TS50, and a QRP rig and SEVERAL new radios (he had just bought some new equipment when he died) and 12 and 20 and 35 amp power supplies and testing equipment and etc. If there's something you have a specific question about, email me and I'll look at the list. 2 meter, 6 meter, 440, dual band and HF. I think there is some of everything, even some Heathkits. Kenwood, MFJ, Hustler, Swan, Archer, Yaesu - those are just a few of the brand names!
