How should our club deal with situations like this? The Club Board is considering some ways we can handle inquiries from SK families, hams who want/need to re-home their gear, etc. Suggestions welcome.

Barring last minute plan changes, this has concluded. Thanks to everyone who was able to help out.

August 2:
A dumpster is scheduled to show up at the SK K8YPU residence on Tuesday morning 8/6..
Location and spreadsheet equipment list in the previous emailed notices.

Most of the major equipment on the spreadsheet is now gone, but there are still a lot of small pieces left.
Still remaining, among other items, two Henry 2KW HF amplifiers, small power supplies, hand tools, old tower, computers, CRT monitors, shortwave and low / high VHF receivers, a Tek 465 and Philips oscilloscopes, 73 magazines, books …

Original message:
Katie Nicholas, whose stepfather was K8YPU in Redford Twp, has asked if the LARC community can provide assistance to clear his QTH (near Telegraph/I-96 of a large and eclectic collection of ham gear, a tower, rotors and antennas (HF & VHF yagis), test bench gear, component parts (some for free) and more. Some genuine gems, from Drake, Henry, Heath, and more. There is a time crunch as they need to clear out the house and tower ASAP. Pointers and links to amateur estate sales or reliable sale sites/brokers would also be helpful, even if you yourself aren’t in a buying mood yourself.
