    I've not done this before but........

    I was wondering, does anybody have a spare HF rig they would trust me enough to loan me until I can scrape together enough funds to buy another.
    I ended up having to sell my last rig in September so I could help with an unexpected bill my family is still trying to pay. I have resonant antennas (Butternut HF-9V and a OCF Dipole 80M and up), I am jonesing real bad here. I don't even have a receiver any more.

    I'm sure I could come up with enough money for shipping.

    Sad you live there and i'm here, too far, too costly.
    Just get my FT 847 back from a m8 that had his Icom Pro 3 zapped and needed a spare rig for the 2 months it took to be repaired.

    I have the FT 2000 D and Ft 847, and the FT 100 mobile here.

    Thanks for the thought COR. That is a very long way.

    I have a couple of Cubic Astro 102s which need fixed, and which I am in no hurry to sell - unless someone wants to buy one of them. Let me take a look under the hoods and see what I can come up with.

    That is a cool looking rig. I've never heard of this one. It looks very interesting. And thanks for considering it.

    I'd like to say that I happy to be in good company, but I can't. This sucks. I know your pain...I'd rather have a sore toe.

    I'm kinda wishing I hadn't sold my Icom. If I still had it, I would loan you my backup Atlas 201x, which currently is my main. And actually, the probability of me finding the time to get on the air right now is pretty low. How long do you think you would need it?

    You should probably keep your Atlas......It is the only thing you've got and even a little time is better than none.

    I should have mentioned the important fact that I probably not be able to get a radio before February.....

    Yeah well, I still need to fix my power supply. That and my husband owes me bigtime right now so the possibility of spending some $ on a new (used) rig is pretty good.
