A better place to post "for sale" and "wanted" type traffic is
rec.radio.swap, or your local PacketCluster, or your local BBS.

I'd agree if Bob wanted to buy or sell one, Trey, but he's looking to
borrow one for a CONTEST. People who might have a rig to loan for a contest,
but not want to sell it, might not read rec.radio.swap.

I understand your point, but I would rather keep the wanted/for sale
traffic away from CQ-Contest. Note that I see Bob's message, which
in my view is useless to the readers, in stark contrast to the one
Frank Donovan posted which said "Does anyone know of a source for xyz?"
which could ultimately lead to some useful information.
I will admit, perhaps it is too fine a line. On the other hand, Bob
already posted this same request a week or two ago and evidently got no
answer, so now we are all reading about it again. *sigh*

Only if you wish to get the scoring multiplier (x5). If you wish, you can
certainly run the legal limit off batteries. I wonder how long the
batteries
on a Russian submarine would last :-).
The June 1994 QST labnotes column addresses these issues (page 94).
