Wanted: HF Amplifier for Ham Radio Use

Hi.  I'm Dan Taverne (KE5UTN) I could really use an HF amp.

If you'd like to help me, I'm a disabled veteran who is desiring a working (or non-working) hf amp that you'd be willing to give to me.  That's right.  I'm asking for the donation so I can better operate as net control on the 5th region traffic net as well as the 80meter freewheeler's net. 

If you think it would be nice to make someones year by gifting to me this request, e-mail me at: ke5utn@yahoo.com
Thanks in advance.

HF Net List (Ham Radio)

Here is a list of some Ham Radio HF Nets to get you new hams started:

80 Meters:
6pm Central time: 3.910mhz Louisiana Traffic Net

8:30 The Tailgaters on 3.916

At 10:00 Central time: The Freewheelers net on 3.916mhz (recommended)

40 meters:

Monday through Saturday
10:30am Region 5 Traffic net (Cycle 1): 7.280mhz

3:30 pm Region 5 traffic net (cycle 2): 7.243

Sunday for the above nets, Cycle 1 is at 1:30 and cycle 2 is at 3:30

You can find the 7.290 traffic net on 7.290. Based in Texas they handle traffic for and from all over the country. I’m not sure about the times except you can find it in the morning at around 9:00am central time.
20 meters

On 14.300 mornings prior to 10am central time you can find the intercontinental net.

After 10 am you can find the maritime mobile net. This net takes all check-ins, however they really exist to assist folks on the high seas. You never know when a ship might have a message for your area so tuning in never hurts.

14.650 in the event of emergencies you might find a SATERN (salvation army team emergency radio service) net. Also on 7.265 (40 meters) and 3.977.7 (80 meters).

There are many nets out there. Tune around the bands and find the nets that you like. Check in and have fun with this ham hobby.
