Absolutely, Brian, but "consider the odds in this case" depends on what
you're betting on. Getting "ripped off" versus "a big let down" has
different lasting consequences.
Pete, wa2cwa
The original message, posted by Paul/VJB claimed that it was WA9QNN
I found the QTH.com ad (at least one of 'em)
http://swap.qth.com/contact.php?counter=598624
*Ad Number:* 598624
*Date Placed:* 05/26/07
*Name:* Ron Doering
*Phone Number:* 715 882-2134
*Callsign:* WA9QNN
*Category:* RADIOANQ
*Heading:* For Sale: B&W T-368 AM Transmitter
*Ad Message:* This is a good, working T-368 Hi Power AM Transmitter. It
comes with a spare VFO module. Also, two extra modulator tubes and two
extra final amplifier tubes. It can be reviewed at W3026 N Lake Ln White
Lake, WI 54491. Pick up only unless shipper can pick it up. Approx. 800 lbs.
Starting price: $2,000.
Two messages were found containing WA9QNN... one was a plea for help,
back in 1998 from someone state-side because Ron/9QNN had moved from
Saudi Arabia to Japan and needed a transformer to step up his current
household electric to closer to 110v, and the other message was a 'thank
you for all the help', concerning Ron's move.
And, there's another ad by Ron for a Viking Valiant for $400, and a few
other hits here and there from good ol' Google.
Ebay didn't cough up any information when told to go look for wa9qnn.
I don't see any scam alerts or other 'red flags' being raised...
Now, if you wanna see something more along the lines of a 'scammer',
google search for k9ni/k7ov
