Re: Equipment & Literature Disposal 
Prepared: June 3, 2011

	The literature and equipment listed below is mostly free to individuals and/or groups involved in OSCAR development and OSCAR support activities.   In some cases a contribution direct to AMSAT-NA may be appropriate.  Most equipment with all accessories and original manuals.  Pickup must be arranged!   Cataloging this material is a big job.  Please bear with me as I issue updates over next several weeks and respond directly -- do NOT clutter AMSAT BB.

	Note to those who know me personally --  I’m in good health, just moving and downsizing and I’d like to see this “stuff” get into hands of someone who’ll appreciate it and/or where appropriate preserve it.  Anyone who has moved 50+ years of QST several times will understand.
