We&#8217;ve have a lot of extra &#8220;stuff&#8221; and tried to strictly enforce the rule that if it hadn&#8217;t been used\/touched\/worn\/opened\/looked at since the last move in 2005 it was time to get rid of it.  I&#8217;d also acquired an amazing amount of ham stuff (the XYL has a different terminology for it).  I could sell it on eBay, but I didn&#8217;t want to invest the time or energy&#8230; nor the trips to the Post Office.  Here&#8217;s what was up for sale:<\/p>\n<p>Heathkit SB-220 amplifier<br \/>\nMFJ Versa Tuner V, MFJ-989C<br \/>\nAstatic D-104 microphone<br \/>\nICOM AT-180, HF+50MHz Automatic Antenna Tuner (in original box, very good condition)<br \/>\nMFJ 6 Meter SSB Transceiver, MFJ-9406 (includes AC power supply)<br \/>\nMFJ 6 Meter Tuner, MFJ-906<br \/>\nCushcraft 6 Meter 3 element beam (well weathered)<br \/>\nTen Tec RX320 (with manual)<br \/>\nICOM IC-PCR1000, Communications Receiver For Computer (with manual)<br \/>\nKantronics KPC-9612 Plus (with manual)<br \/>\nPakratt-232, Model PK-232 MBX (with manual)<br \/>\nMFJ Multi-Mode Data Controller, MFJ-1278 (with manual)<br \/>\nMFJ TNC 2 Packet Radio, MFJ-1274<br \/>\nMFJ Deluxe Code Practice Oscillator, MFJ-557<br \/>\nMFJ Electric Keyer Paddle with Memory, MFJ-442<br \/>\nDymek DA100E, Active Receiver Antenna, 50kHz-30MHz (with manual)<br \/>\nRadio Shack Amplified Base Station Microphone, CAT NO 21-1173<br \/>\nRadio Shack SWR\/Power Meter, CAT NO 21-534<br \/>\nMFJ-8128 VHF 114-220 MHz SWR\/Wattmeter<br \/>\nMARS Model LE-2 Hybrid Phone Patch<br \/>\nHeathkit Hybrid Phone Patch, Model HD-15 (with manual)<br \/>\nQuad magnetic mount for antenna<br \/>\nVarious Hamsticks and Hustler single band mobile antennas<br \/>\nVarious amateur radio books<\/p>\n<p>We did have quite a few hams show up and my prices were incredibly reasonable if not down right ludicrous.  The MFJ 6 Meter SSB rig went quick, but I&#8217;m surprised no one grabbed the 3-element beam.  All the three of the phone patches sold (I had two Heathkits) &#8211; that surprised me.  What all surprised me was why I had three phone patches.  All the Hamsticks and Hustlers went.  Some of the books.  Bottom line &#8211; I was able to find new homes for a lot of gear I wasn&#8217;t using and got a bit of reimbursement in the process.<\/p>\n<p>Anybody need an MFJ Deluxe Code Practice Oscillator?<\/p>\n<p>What&#8217;s amazing is the amount of gear I still have that I&#8217;m unwilling to part with and is coming with me to Kansas.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Although yesterday (5 July) was not strategically the best day for a yard sale, the XYL and I were running out of time as the movers are due to show this coming week.
