Hi folks, I go by my middle name "Duane"I have been in the same area since 1940, been licensed since about 1975. Swl activities since late 1940s. I enjoy ham radio, in particular ssb vhf/uhf with some hf activities. Anytime I buy/sell/trade equipment is basically for my enjoyment. I have been "ripped off" and don't like it. Therefore: anything I sell from my years of accumulation will be described in detail. Any interest generated in my sales: I will test it prior to shipment and describe accordingly. Sometimes, I find "shelf life" has changed equipment functionallity, so I retract the ad or present the problem as I understand it. I will not knowingly sell defective gear unless described as previously mentioned. I hope people I buy from would have the same attitude. I am not a "scammer, dealer". I accumulate gear occasionally surplus to my needs. I try to pass it on to others who may have a need for it.

My station activities are modest compared to most. As long as I can enjoy it, I will continue to do what I can. 73 Rollin "Duane" Smedstad W7HW
