The OUARC has just (today) received a donation consisting of an MFJ 
antenna tuner (I didn't look at the model), a big, metered Astron power 
supply (40A-50A from the size of it) and an IC-735. My suggestion is to 
take these items, along with anything else we'd like to sell) to Ham 
Holiday this weekend and turn these into $ for the club.

73,
