Hi folks,

Once again I am looking for help to pay for the cost of shipping radio equipment to the Zaporizhzhia amateur radio club in Ukraine. As a reminder, members of this club work to distribute all sorts of HF/VHF/UHF equipment across the country to act as a safety net in areas where the Russians are destroying communications infrastructure. In many areas, the radios are the only lifeline they have to communicate with the rest of the country.

This time I am not shipping radios or supplies, I am shipping two key pieces of test equipment they requested to be able to repair the radios they already have, a Marconi Communications Test Set model 2955 and a BK Precision 2630 spectrum analyzer which I bought last week.

There are two ways to ship via Meest, by boat or by air. There are no lithium batteries in the equipment so it can be shipped by air, unlike the last time where the handies had lithium batteries. By air will cost around $400 delivered in Ukraine in a few days, by boat it will be 4-6 weeks and about $200.

If anyone is interested in participating, I can receive donations via PayPal (twiter at herdhecats.com<mailto:twiter at herdhecats.com>), Venmo (@juan-jimenez-677) or Zelle (781-491-3934). Please type "UKRAINE" in the comment field for any donations so i can identify them and set them aside.

If I get enough to pay for this I will send out another email letting everyone know there is no need for further donations. If more money is received than the cost of the shipping, the difference will be set aside for the next Ukraine project. If there isn't enough then I will make up the difference. One way or another I will get this equipment out to them by next month.
