Sunday, 06 May 2007

Since we are an Amateur Radio Emergency Service program, we are always looking for donations of radio equipment. There are various types of equipment that we are looking for and that we can utilize. If you have some old equipment that you no longer need or want, please consider donating them to use for our use, while receiving a tax deduction at the same time. We will accept almost all types of radio equipment and if we are unable to use it, we will pass it along to someone that can.
