priced NEW one's...

GigaParts has them for almost $125/less.


In addition to the many accessories clearly described on the auction page,
some items were not listed. This bidder contacted me early in the auction to
tell me he wanted both Yaesu radios. As such, as an extra incentive, I
offered him several additional items (software, computer cables, and cloning
cables). I also notified each bidder of an included MFJ antenna not listed
on the auction page. The total new purchase price of all items included with
this one auction is in excess of $600. Between the two auctions, this bidder
saved several hundred dollars over new prices.

When it's all said and done the best piece of goofy nonsense is that
you're (allegedly) dumping your entire ham station (two HTs, matched
pair, his and her's last I heard) and are quitting ham radio.

"Upgrades" are where we find 'em around here . . .

'BYE and don't let the door . . .

Well, there was an HF rig also. Dwight is a technician, so he was
probably planning on getting a General ticket once.

I think it's too bad that Dwight is getting out of Ham radio.

Is he REALLY...?!?!

I know this will be a dead and forgotten subject by then, but his current
license expires in 2008. I bet he renews it.

Furthermore, if he's REALLY trying to make a statement, let's keep an eye
on QRZ. I say if he has a "point" to make, he writes "CANCEL" across the front
of it and sends it back to Gettysburg.

I say he DOESN'T do THAT.

That's the nice thing about an Amateur Radio license...even if it doesn't
fit your needs or interests "for now", you can keep it in your pocket and you
have it if you need/want it.

Some grandstand play about "I'm getting out of Ham Radio" is just
that...grandstanding. I wonder what the REAL underlying reason is...

In the VHF newsgroup, Dwight simply stated personal reasons. He did not say
he was trying to make any "statement".

All statements must be submitted to the Yell Yell Marine.

HE will judge their merit.
