Received my ticket in 1976 with the help of my elmer, Henry Schneider,
w5hns (sk) a great guy and I have spent thousands of hours working qrp (and
otherwise) over the years, primarily chasing DX.
Unfortunately, with the long-term advent of the
get-a-ticket-by-memorizing-test-answers approach over the years, too many
hams are now appliance technicians so I thought there might be some new to
the hobby who would appreciate simpler, easy to work on, rigs so they might
learn a little.
As I am revamping the station here to be 100% solar and qrp, I am also
simplifying things and getting rid of some projects.
*I have a Century 21 digital that works fine at the moment and I'd like to
sell it to someone who might appreciate a low power cw only rig (30 watts
or so). Best offer. *
Best of all, if you are still reading, I would like to give away the
following to new (as in new ticket) hams:
1. A Century 21 analog with the usual stuck VFO to someone who is new to
the hobby and wanting to learn a little about radio. The VFO build is a bit
tedious, but doable and there are instructions on the Internet.
2. Century 22. Puts out about 43 watts and has a stuck VFO. Good face.
3. Second Century 22. Won't come on, but my guess is there's nothing major
wrong with it. Also has a good face.
4. HW 8. It will not come on with a verified matching power supply that I
will include with it.
*Caveat: Trying to reach Shin Yamasaki who will have first pick of a 22 if
still interested.*
These are free for freight cost or pick up here to any young (as in not
having a ticket a long time) hams who is willing to get them up and
running. AGAIN, they are FREE to NEW hams only at this time. Much prefer
pickup if possible and I'm near San Antonio.

P.S. I also have a complete set of test modules that are built and were
operational of the old Heathkit test gear they offered many years ago. All
match and I have the power supply. All will need to be tested, but all
look good and would look great in a station that actually builds once up
and running again. They need to be checked out for reliability before using
to work on gear as they have been on a shelf for many years. All look good
and are also free to anyone who might want to go through them.
Again, all the above with the exception of the digital C21 are FREE
pickup, cost of freight otherwise.
