I can confirm that 100% of the bid will go to AMSAT (as I manage the eBay/MissionFish account for AMSAT) but I am not sure if the bidder gets the tax deduction as it is the seller that is donating the money to AMSAT. 73...bruce On 5/15/2010 4:14 PM, Clint Bradford wrote: >>> ... eBay auction ..

Just left Dayton a few hours ago.  Icom said that it is basically a 7600 and a 910.  It is bigger than the 910.  It was in a display case so I can't tell you what the feel was like of the weight.  Price is in the $4,000.00 range so that will kill a lot of the satellite market if you ask me. ___
