   I received an email signed by Brian Trubee saying he would take it.
   The email address had a different name, so I replied with a request for
   an address so that I could calculate shipping. So far I haven't gotten
   a response. Brian, If that way you (Do you have something to do with
   emergency services in WA?) send me your shipping address and I will get
   the shipping charge.

   After that I received a request off list from a person in Alaska who is
   interested, then Matt on list, then Ken.

   I'm pretty sure it's sold, but not sure to who yet and the reason I'm
   waiting for a definite answer from Brian is I offered it to him first.
   As soon as I get a definite answer from interested parties in that
   order, I will post it.

   Thanks,

   Bob W.

   Bob,

   If he doesn't get back to you today, I'll take it. Write me offline.

Bob, Go ahead and sell the ELT, thanks for holding on to it for me, but
I think that I'll hold out and wait for the 406's to come down in price.
I used to work for the Air Force in Air Rescue, I remember tracking
ELT's. It's really hard to pinpoint the 121.5 and 236.0 Mhz ELTs,
especially in the mountains. The signal bounces off the mountains.
