For sale: K6MST Silent Key Gear

Raymond (KE7DWW) wishes to sell some of his father's (Tom, K6MST, Silent Key) gear. Hank K6HUH can have the gear brought down to his house in Foothill Farms if anyone is really interested (Keep in mind though, that Henry Radio console weighs 180 pounds!). Raymond lives in Grass Valley and can be reached for more details and other equipment at: Raymond Thompson (KE7DWW), (775) 229-3619 (Cell)

A Henry Radio model 2K console model, functional, but needs an ammeter (Like all Henry Radios, the ammeter, not the multimeter!) as far as I know, it's in great shape otherwise, and has the manual too.
A Kenwood TS520S with mic.
An Elecraft KX3, also in perfect condition, I think he bought this the same time I bought mine (2013-2014) I know it was factory assembled.

I think he also has a SS 35W linear 40m back packer amp. Tom used this KX3 setup to log into the CARS network he was on for years until his illness.

Hank, K6HUH

Free Tower

I am Bill Daniels. I have a ham/tv tower that I want to get rid of. It is in place at a 5446 Earnell Street, Carmichael. The tower was erected by father-in law that worked at Channel 10 News. He passed away over 10 years ago. The family wants to get rid of the tower for free. Just need to get it removed because they want to sell the home later this year. I have attached a picture and additional information that can be shared off line. Two TV antennas are attached.

Wanted: CB Radios

Looking for older 23 and 40 channel “chicken band” radios that are either broken or not operating correctly. I’m embarking on learning radio trouble shooting and repair and these 11 meter radios are the best platforms to start on. Looking for earlier models, any make. If you have one or more sitting in a box, getting dusty on a shelf or just plain taking up space that you would like to reclaim, I’d be happy to take it off your hands.
Thanks and 73, Andy w6aws@surewest.net (916) 742-9810

Electronics Stores in Sacramento

Don't know if everyone is aware of this, but there is another source of (some) electronic components and tools available at: Sacramento Electronics. They don't have a lot of stock, but it is open to the public if you want to just look around. Gert and I used to purchase our tools there when we were working. Gert and I visited Ali's Surplus Stuff new store front at 9203 Folsom Blvd Ste. B, Sacramento, CA 95826 , much more organized, but seems to be less stuff.

Hank, K6HUH

Ed - Hank also offers free 3D project printing for current River City ARCS members.
