[time-nuts] For you hams in the UK

[n3izn at aol.com]

Hello to the hams in the UK. I'm in the early stages of planning a trip to?Cornwall next summer. To take the rug rats to see grandma who refuses to fly any more. Any how it's been maybe 10 years since my last visit. When I lived on the east coast and active on HF I had many regulars I talked to daily and when I made my trips I made arrangements with some of them to bring radios. The prices in the US were half of what you guys had to pay. With Internet sales maybe it has come down, I don't know.

Summer is a long way off and I'm not sure how this email will be accepted. I'm offering to buy a rig of your choice .I'll use it for a week and a half or so and make arrangements to give it to you on my way back to London. I'll have the box and original accessories. You will be able to hear it and inspect before buying it.

Obviously I have to pack it in luggage, so no large base radios. One of those CB sized all in one boxes is what I was thinking. If no serious takers I'll bring my FT100D. You will have to figure out how to convert it to UK version if necessary. I'll be using HF and maybe 144 on the highways between London and Bodmin. Maybe a HT would fit in the YL bag?

Not looking to double my money, just have use of a radio while I'm over there and maybe make a few bucks?or quid to pay the rental car.

Contact me off list.
