Presentation
NVIS Antennas.
I have been asked to find a new home for a bunch of equipment that belonged to the father of a friend.
His name was Richard Mathews, WB9HOG.
He past away in February. One of his sons, living in Alaska, expressed interest, but has decided not to take any of the equipment.
I have all the gear in at my place now, the house is being cleared for sale, I only have room in an unheated storage unit.
If any, all, of your members would be interested in helping me evaluate the gear and find new users I'm sure Richard would be grateful.
