    I have much ham equipment to give away (preferably to a young person or one who can’t afford to buy to get started. I have an ICOM IC-740 transceiver plus antenna tuner, noise bridge, coax switch, swr bridge, power/modulation/swr tester. The transceiver wasn’t working in transmit mode but receiver was fine when I last used it 20 years ago. I’m old now and would like to help someone less fortunate out. I also have a YAESU model FT -415 2Mhand heldpaging transceiver. Most have manuals. Also antenna books etc. I would appreciate someone contacting me so I can meet and deliver this to you or your club. Thank you. Also my phone number for phone or text is (403) 586-4797.

    Recently moved to a Red Deer condo. No room for a ham station. I have a number of items I would like to contact a person I could hire to remove and sell them – or donate to “needy” people still in the hobby.

    Thanks
