Ham friends...
Your help is needed.
As mentioned in previous emails Tom Drake, K5EEK , has gone to the
big ham shack in the sky.
Fred WW4LL has put up "for sale" many items that had belonged to
Tom. At this point there are still many items (some listed below
) that need to be removed from Tom's QTHin Diamond Head MS ( (near
the Mississippi / Louisiana boarder off Interstate 10. ) See QRZ
K5EEK
All the equipment at Tom's QTH is free fro the taking. When any item
is sold or used by a ham a reasonable price should be payed. Half
of the sale price is to go to the your club and the other half to
Tom's daughter, Anne.
Anne needs to return home, shortly. Organize your club members with
pick up trucks to remove the ham related items. Contact Anne Drake
at +1 (857) 319-1923 .. Below is a description about part of
what is available,
18 tower sections $25 each Rohn 25, 35, 45 qty unknown.
Aluminum mast $100
A large assortment of aluminum tubing $50 for all
8 spools of radial / antenna wire $10 each
A gin pole $ ?
24 boxes of tubes, books etc. ham miscellaneous items.
A radio operating table... $50
Loops of coax $10 each or $50 for all.
there is more.
These are fire sale prices.
Again, your help is needed.

Dallas/Mal,
I just returned home from MS where I met Tom’s ex wife
Pat and daughter Anne, to help them sell his radio
stuff. I brought home with me for sale and am looking
for reasonable offers. I’m only going to take photos
for folks if they make a serious offer as I have boxes
of things to go thru to get to different pieces of
equipment. There is a lot more to get from Diamondhead,
but here’s what I have with me:
TWO Icom 7700 HF Transceivers
OM 2000+ amplifier and does 6 meters and WARC bands too
OM 4000 amplifier (this is the manual tune version)
Ten Tec Omni IV HF Tranceiver
Icom 746 Pro
There are 3 Collins stations
32S-I - 30L-1 - 75S-I - 30L-1
KWM-2A - 51S-I - Collins Phone Patch - Collins Speaker -
Collins Phone Patch
32S-3 - 32S-I - 75S-I - 75S-3B
3 Nye Viking MBV tuners
There is probably 200 to 300 feet of tower there, mostly
25 and 35G, new box of guy grips, thick wall aluminum
mast, lots of antenna aluminum, guy anchors and
insulators. 25 & 35 G tower sections are going for $35
each to move them, but contact me if you are
interested. You must be there on August 26th to pick
everything or it will all be moved out.
In a storage unit, there are boxes of miscellaneous
items that I’m going to let go very cheap, that have
headphones, wiring harnesses, tubes, CBs, and various
miscellaneous item. I will be there a week from this
Thursday on August 26th about lunch time. I will only
be there 2 or 3 hours to meet any hams interested in any
of the remaining items. Most of the equipment listed
above is now in GA.

Hello, Dallas.
If you have not already done it, I can send
Tom's Obituary into QST SK and
mention his passing in the next month's
Mississippi Section Report.
Do you have a point of contact in Tom's Family
that I could ask permission
to do this?
