Hi Ralph, this is Susan, one of your HAM students from 2019-2020!  I hope this 
email finds you well.  I have a vintage Tandy Radio Shack Cellular Mobile Phone 
Model CT-1033.  Would you or any in your groups want it, to restore, etc.  I 
dont want to just donate or throw it away.  The wiring from the phone to the 
pack would have to be replaced but the battery pack and phone are in good shape 
from what I can tell.  Not sure if the batteries will still hold a charge, but 
the charger is included.

This ebay posting is exactly like what I have, bag and everything

On Wednesday, September 20th, Centerpoint Energy will be doing power line 
maintenance at the 146.940 repeater site. Centerpoint advised the the power 
will be out from 8 am to 2 pm.

The 94 repeater does have back-up battery power but it will only last 
approximately 4 hours. You can tell when the repeater is on battery back-up 
since there will be a beep in the middle of the person that is talking's audio.

The repeater will be left on to test how long it will operate on the batteries. 
If the Stir Crazy net is held, please be aware of the repeater possibly 
shutting in the middle of the NET.
