- that is related to Amateur Radio or Shortwave Listening.
-
- Please state in the ad as much pertinent information as
- possible. The ad must include a price, (or swap
- requirements) and contact information (phone number with
- area code, address, or Home BBS routing information).
- Please limit all replies to such ads to routed messages
- and/or direct the message to the originator's BBS whenever
- possible. Also, please send a message when the equipment is
- no longer available for sale/swap.
-
- No implied sale, trade, use or modification of illegal
- equipment.
