I am also sometimes worried about that subject.No one at home follows my steps and, in YS, we have no hams. All are dying, and we are no more than 6 hardcore ones who still do DX. The rest only work VHF repeaters and Sats.I am very small here, compared to you guys (everything fits in a small 1.8 x 2 meters room) and I am worried at 56.... now you, in North America, have accumulated tons and tons of equipment... Have to act As soon as possible and keep only the essential... I guess. Cause it¡¯s going to be a problem for your XYL who will just sell everything by metal weight or simply take it to the dump.73RobYS1RS On Apr 2, 2021, at 08:52, VE7PS <ve7ps@...> wrote:
?Indeed! ?Dealing exactly with that issue this past week with my neighbour.
He had two working homebrew all band HF amps - not really up to snuff with appearance per my requirements, but chock full of 813's, 4-400's, big heavy Hammond HV xformers, roller inductors, and big caps. ?There was a box of new 4-400's and another full of 813's. Three working rotators including a Tailtwister. ?He told me that if I didn't take it, he would take it to the dump that day. ?He's in a suddenly desperate situation with the health of his wife, his own health, and his house/property is sold. He walked away from a shop full of tools, including power tools, most of which will be for the new owner to sort out what stays and what goes.
Now I have to figure out what to do with them. ?But I just couldn't let them go to the landfill.
I still have to rescue an HF GEM quad with enough spare spreaders and spiders to make 2 more, an MA-40 crank-up, which is now on the ground, and a TA-33 triband beam.
Plan now - I know I am, though it will be a bigger job than it was!

Before we sign Happy Trails and ride off into the sunset,
it's time for some estate planning so the stuff we worked
so hard to hoard doesn't end up in a land fill.
