Founding club member Jerry Hannah VE1KW has donated his HF station that he and his wife Kaye VE1YH used at their cottage.
This would be a great beginners station for a newer ham just getting into HF and also for any member to use at home or a cottage/cabin. The station consist of:

1. Kenwood TS-430S HF Rig

2. Kenwood PS-430 Matching Power Supply

3. MFJ Versa Tuner 901B

4. MFJ Artificial Ground 931

There is also a straight key and various cables. Paperwork on all items including how to set up the station are included..
I have had the station on here at the cabin for 24 hours straight and have made contacts to Switzerland, Spain and the Maritime Net. No issues.

As in the past we will start a "Silent Auction" on the "complete station" starting at 200 dollars and each bid going forward will be in at least 20 dollar increments.
Send me your bid by email and I will post it here. themaritimeamateur@gmail.com
Only the bid will be public.
As usual, the funds from the auction will go into the club account.
If you would like to see the station you can set up a time with me to view it here at the cabin.
