[HiDARG-MEMBERS] [HiDARG-Shack] Ham equipment being donated to Hidarg. (Looking to the members for some options and ideas.)

[Buzz Dean]

How about making it available to John Cherry/Mike Williams for them to “raffle off” at the coming JOTA, with the proviso that the gear not be resold for n years, but can be re-gifted at subsequent JOTAs as the scout hopefully outgrows it? Or, likewise, raffle it off to a COCC ham cram student who sits to upgrade with our VE crew? Don Shurtleff could turn that into some great community PR.
