Re: [Drakelist] Scammer
John, There are 26 amateurs in Waldoboro, ME. None at that address (not that it means anything). His residence was assessed for USD13,ooo. Personally, I wouldn't take the chance even though I could drive up there and put the fear of God in him if he chose to deal me out of the money. de WA1ISA - Original Message - From: John Brown brown...@optusnet.com.au To: Drake List drakelist@zerobeat.net Sent: Tuesday, August 23, 2011 7:36:12 PM Subject: [Drakelist] Scammer I advertised for a T-4XC front panel on the Australian VKHam classified website and immediately received an Email response from somebody supposedly located at: 46 medomak mobile home park waldoboro,me 04572 offering either the T-4XC or just the front panel, claiming he has tried to sell the transmitter but hasn’t as yet and would just sell the panel. Seems very odd indeed . I am aware there are some scammers responding to Hams placing “wanted” ads on online classified sites claiming to have exactly what was advertised. Anybody have any insight into this activity in the USA , or is this address familiar, or am I being a bit too cautious?

I'm wondering if anyone remembers seeing the early 1970's Amateur Electronic Supply advertisement that showed their Sales Manager at the time, Ray Grenier, sitting in front of a full Drake 4C line station. It was a full station including the R-4C, T-4XC, MS-4/AC-4, L-4B, W-4, both six and 2 meter transverters, CC-1 receive converter box. It was a stunning station and I really wanted one but the situation wasn't good. I was in the Navy at the time and recall seeing those ad's while pouring over either QST or their catalog during some of those long midnight watches in the Radio room while cruising the oceans. so here I am some 40 years later still drooling over the C line.. hi hi 73, Scott WA9WFA ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
Re: [Drakelist] Does Anyone Remember the 1970's AES Ad with Ray Grenier?
I do! I do! I can picture it now as if I were just looking at the ad. I have not seen the ad in 40+ years. I did meet Ray, K9KHW(?) at a Boston ARRL convention in the 70's. The Drakes were on a desk with a sloping back so that the radios were angled for easy viewing. AES also sold the desk. I believe it was $100.00. 73, Peter-WA1ISA - Original Message - From: whitebear1...@comcast.net To: Drakelist drakelist@zerobeat.net Sent: Thursday, August 4, 2011 10:40:21 PM Subject: [Drakelist] Does Anyone Remember the 1970's AES Ad with Ray Grenier?
