<b>Subject: Testing a Radio</b><br>
<br></div><div dir="ltr"><div>Hi Folks:</div><div><br></div><div>I purchased a radio from an estate and it's at my house outside of Bellville. I'm currently deployed out of town and
I was hoping to find a member of the club there who could test the radio (a Kenwood TS-450S) before my wife ships it out to me.</div><div><br></div><div>If that's possible, please let me know and put me in touch with the person that could give it a good once-over. Unfortunately, I have no telecom here but you can reach my at this email or via WhatsApp at 9796273278.</div><div><br></div><div>Thanks in advance,</div><div><br></div><div>John F.
