-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 thanks for taking a look at it. you sumed up our problems with the agreement. The ham club is a really small group, and we have only slightly more funding than TCWUG, mostly because I gave the group $20 for dues ;) I would like to see equipment and/or money donated to the club. we are a registered U student organization, and a registered non-profit org. so anyone donating can recive tax write-offs. the main reasons I was given for why there needs to be a lease involved, is that Arnan does not want the equipment donated, and taken home/pocketed by club members. I can understand this, but setting up a lease agreement is not the way to do it. I'm willing to cough up a few hundred $ to purchase some of the equipment. I am thinking about picking up outdoor enclosures, antenna masts, LMR-400, and associated LMR-400 tools. I may also order a soekris SBC so that I can start testing and setting up my hostAP linux distro. the soekris board is $277 for a single unit, or $270 for 2-4 units. so if anyone wants to go in on an order, let me know. maybe we can get enough orders to get the 5-24 discount. - -ben "Unix is user friendly, Its just picky about its friends."
