Re: It's that time


 

?

I am a "Life" member.? I do not want to burden my XYL any further when its time to deal with my stuff.? I have personally met the folks at HamEstate (Orlando Hamcation 2018) and can personally vouch for them.

?

I have put their contact sheet of paper in with the other important estate papers in the safe.? I am just carrying on in my interests with a clear mind.

?

I have no personal interest in them, just a satisfied customer (or should I say my xyl will be a future satisfied customer)

?

Subject: Re: [DRAKE-RADIO] It's that time

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.

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.
