Re: Equipment & Literature Disposal
Prepared: June 3, 2011
The literature and equipment listed below is mostly free to individuals
and/or groups involved in OSCAR development and OSCAR support activities. In
some cases a contribution direct to AMSAT-NA may be appropriate. Most
equipment with all accessories and original manuals. Pickup must be arranged!
Cataloging this material is a big job. Please bear with me as I issue updates
over next several weeks and respond directly -- do NOT clutter AMSAT BB.

Note to those who know me personally -- Im in good health, just
moving and downsizing and Id like to see this stuff get into hands of
someone wholl appreciate it and/or where appropriate preserve it. Anyone who
has moved 50+ years of QST several times will understand.
