    The owner (a former Pro Baseball player) of the premier Citizen's Band station recently went SK and all of his equipment hit the market, RCI Ranger 29xx 10 -12 meter radio, a mint condition Swan DX 2000 Amplifier and, an expertly constructed 6 tuber 3-500Z amplifier with 3 brand new-in-the-box spare tubes and a assortment of Bird watt meters.

    It was shown to have an output of 8 kw at the time of sale; price was $3,000 cash.

    My close friend who, just received a large settlement purchased it.

    He invited me over to see it and, informed me that it was a "Ham Radio Station" and the since I had "Ham License", I could operate it at any time.

    He was not aware that the FCC licenses the STATION and not the operator and that my Amateur Radio license covers my fixed location or, me operating mobile on the Amateur Radio bands; I had to tell him that.

    What I didn't tell him was, as pretty as his stuff was, I wasn't gonna touch it with a 10 foot insulated screwdriver; wouldn't be prudent.
