[bars] Next shipment to Ukraine

[Juan Jiménez]

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), 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.

73,
Juan
