Why are you shouting?

Excellent question. WHY ARE "YOU" SHOUTING, N2ION?

What N2IOW doesn't understand is:

1. most hams need to sell one rig to buy another
2. most hams have deep pockets and want paid for the rigs when getting
rid of them
3. most ham have a reputation of being cheep
4. why would any ham give their equipment to some guy in NY when, if
they where going to donate it they would give it to a local school radio
club.
