Fw: Re: Ebay

[Lloyd Schoenig]

Almost every day I check out the "Ham Radio" listings of eBay. I'm not
looking for illegal ads, I'm looking for "bargains", HI. But, if I see an ad
for a 10 meter amp that says or even implies it could be used on 11 meters,
I complain to eBay immediately. If it's illegal then eBay shouldn't list it.
Lloyd, k3zpn
