From rguidry at na5q.com Thu Dec 2 09:32:32 2021 From: rguidry at na5q.com (Roland Guidry) Date: Thu, 2 Dec 2021 09:32:32 -0600 Subject: [AARA] MARS Equipment Question Message-ID: <4793791c-f32a-7c80-f719-902549433f19@na5q.com> Jerry Breaux (can't remember his callsign) passed away about 25 years ago and his son is selling Jerry's old home. He found some old MARS equipment in storage and is wondering if it is legal to sell or give it away, or does it need to go back to MARS ownership. Can some MARS members determine the legality of sales or giveaway or back into government hands. Thanks, Roland NA5Q rguidry at na5q.com Respond to charles at k5ua.com also. Thanks!
