Now that WRTC 2026 is over there is a unique opportunity to purchase items used in the 50 stations, from gazebos to masts, from Honda EU22i generators to Yaesu 450 rotators. At the moment the items are all based in Norfolk, though any unsold items will soon be making their way to storage in Clacton, so if you are interested get ordering now!
As they are in locked unattended storage you can make direct arrangements to collect, however as an alternative I am offering to act as a Hub and arrange collect all purchased items in my van on behalf of members – except for the 11m mast (3 section) and LZ beam antenna which I cannot transport. You will then be able to arrange to collect from me, or I can take to a club meeting or summer event.
Most items have only been used once for the 24 hour contest last weekend with only the masts, rotators and antenna having been used once before at the Italian WRTC event in 2023.
A few notes which may help you:
- Generators were all new purchased in May and are Honda EU22i, nice inverter suitcase style units which are good enough to supply radios and almost any electronic or domestic equipment. Wilson inspected and tested most of them before the event.
- The gazebos are very good quality and most are like the NARC gazebos the club uses. Tables and chairs are also very good and like most things were used for just 24 hours!
Full details of items, prices and who to pay are on the sheet attached to this email.
To order, email Fred G4BWP with your requirements and at the same time pay for what you have ordered to the WRTC account by bank transfer. Also say whether you would like to arrange to collect your purchase or would like me to collect on your behalf.
If you would like me to collect please also drop me an email after you have ordered and paid – radio@dcpmicro.com
Please remember that this is not a NARC activity and so any enquiries need to be sent to Fred at WRTC; also remember I cannot collect the 11m 3 section masts or LZ HF beams.
My final advice is to act swiftly as these are being offered to other clubs and groups and already there are only 10 generators left.
