I don't know him and would not accuse him of shady disposition of donated
equipment but one does wonder why a club would solicit the permanent
donation of radios, antennas, towers etc. for field day operation. Field
Day is a two day contest the needs of which have traditionally been met with
a two day loan of club members equipment. The online solicitations are in
all candor in very bad taste and have offended many members of the amateur
community. I haven't seen any lately...maybe someone got the message.

If in doubt, a search of google newsgroups will provide plenty of
questions as to whether you want your hard earned money leaving your
hands and finding its way to Jeff Forkos. (joke goes...Did Jeff sell
donated equipment and did he FORK-US?)
There's no doubt your money will leave, but what will you get in return,
if anything? And will this be equipment that was donated by hams that
thought they were giving equipment to his local club only to find it for
sale on the usenet posting boards?
(please note: asking tough questions is the only way of making sure you
get what you pay for)
