And who was your husband? The current holder of K9CPU is alive and well.

Yes Jerry, I suspect that none of this gear exists except for the text
above. This is very likely a scam. The worst part of it is that I
suspect it is being perpetrated by a ham radio operator.

It must be someone very slick too. Looking at their headers an odd feature pops
up. Copy and pasted below, notice the "X-Complaints-To:
" field. I feel the field was edited because the poster
supposedly has giganews as their provider, but complaints aren't directed there
as they should. I checked "www.newsgroupbanter.com" out and it's a new domain
name that the page I got says was just registered, but has no further
information. Interesting. I think an email to giganews might be in order.
