This online resource a public service of the STARC club to the local ham community. The Buy Sell Trade Net is NOT owned by STARC.
For the past 20 years a two meter net has been held to allow coastal bend hams to dispose of no longer needed equipment or to find something they are looking for. The only requirement is that it be amateur radio related. The South Texas Amateur Radio Club makes this space available for listings but is in no way responsible for the transactions between amateurs. See the latest net posting below:
The South Texas Amateur Radio Club has decided to continue to assist the local amateur radio community offer up their excess gear on this webpage. We will accept emails at bst@n5crp.org with sellers contact information, list of items, and price. They club will update them on this page once a week. The items will also be announced very briefly at the end of the weekly STARC on air meeting every Tuesday at 8pm. Interested parties will need to contact the seller of the item for more details on the it8/14/em.

Live in Virginia but have a 40’ radio tower in LaFeria, TX that wants to sell. Dont know what it might be worth but am willing to let it go for cheap. Just wants to get rid of it because am not as active in the radio community as once was. Fairly new and secured in a small concrete slab. It will probably take a bucket truck to take it down.
If no answer, you may call wife Trish at (571) 375-6753.
