[bars] Donation letter

[Geoffrey Feldman]

PS Doesn’t matter what BARS does, just write an honest description of what’s in the box.   “Used equipment” and the last date it was sold as new would probably be helpful.  Perhaps try my dismantling trick.

I am curious, though, who in the board gave you, a landscape artist, permission to be demanding such information from a member in response to my query?

It's a simple donation of old HAM radio gear and a decommissioned $10 Chromebook, not an export of secret military hardware. Never mind. I'll take care of it.

I believe this would have to go before the BARS board for discussion.  Next meeting is probably September.  Can you give irrefutable citation of the foreign and US Law or reference to chapter and verse

Hi folks,

 

I am in the process of preparing a donation to the Radioclub Olavarria HAM club in my wife's home town in Argentina. I am sending a Chromebook I converted to GalliumOS/IUbuntu with WSJT-X installed, USB adapters for sound and serial port, an almost complete AV-14AVQ vertical antenna and some other goodies.

 

However, customs to Argentina can be expensive. There is an exception when one club outside Argentina donates to a club in Argentina. With a letter from the originating club, customs fees are not assessed. 

 

Would it be possible for BARS to provide such a letter if I prepare its content? No cost or liability to MMRA. I don't yet have the text of what the letter must say, so for now I'm looking to see if one of the clubs of which I am a member can help.

 

73,
