The Ed Fong TBJ-1 tri-band antennas have arrived
For those that I purchased the TBJ-1 antennas from the group buy, they’ve arrived. I will bring them this Saturday to the Portable Operations / Help / ARRL Ham Open House at Grace Lutheran Church. This event will be from 11AM until 2PM. Dave AI6VX

Extra DBJ-1 mast, free to good home
Thanks to Dave, AI6VH and Ed, WB6IQN for supplying a bunch of us with all the antennas! I look forward to using the DBJ-1 as a portable base antenna for my next public service event. It works great. And if you need a 5 ft. piece of PVC to finish your antenna, please let me know and I'll bring it to the next VCARC meeting. 73, Tom W?UFC

Hermes Lite 2
Have one for sale, brand new, not taken out of boxes. Hermes Lite N2ADR Filter Board Case To put it together, you should have some non-conductive thermal paste, and sandpaper, or some way to scrape the paint out of about 2in square inside of the case for the heatsink. (Actually, I can include some thermal paste if you don't have any...) 5 watt, 10-160m all mode. Don't buy this if you're not computer literate. Sell for the exact price I paid - $338. With tariffs, this may be the last time you can get your hands on one! I'll have mine at the Open House this Saturday, if you want to see a Hermes Lite.

Huge amount of equipment for sale
Hello everyone I am Alan Majeski, AK6MF. I joined the club last October and got my Amateur extra license in March this year. I have been involved in electronics since my tour of duty with the USN in the 1980’s and I have been running my own calibration business since 2001. I never found the time to get involved with ham radio until now as I am decommissioning my laboratory and retiring this year. As a result, I have a lot of test equipment which I need to remove from the books and liquidate. There is too much to list, but just an example: VNA’s, power supplies, signal generators, power meters, spectrum analyzers, frequency counters, RF loads, audio filters wave analyzers, etc. etc. If you are looking to upgrade your RF test bench, of just need something for a project, let me know. I am donating 30% of all sales to the club general fund. 73 AK6MF
