N7WQY Robert Moss Buyer Beware
Posted: Fri Sep 12, 2008 3:20 am
Be careful Buying or Trading with Robert Ross N7WQY n7wqy@centurytel.net. Here is what happened to me.
I found an ad by N7WQY that read as follows:
Here is a copy of the ad I responded to:
Sell: Cushcraft A-627013s: (I think that's right) Tri-band beam on 8 ft. ... Sell: Ringo arx-6 6 meter antenna. in good condx $60/shipped
I sent an EMAIL to N7WQY asking if the ARX6 was still available , he sent this email back stating it was still for sale.
Hi Rob
It is the arx6. it is in very good condx. i bought it and only used it about 5 months then sold the 6 meter rig and never bouht another one. for the last couple years it has been sitting in the closet gathering dust. 60 bucks shipped is what i was asking which seems to be the median price on ebay qth etc.

In another Email I asked how to pay!
Here is his email:
Hi Rob
A postal money orderwould be just fine. my mailing address is
Bob Ross
29144 Berlin Road
Sweet Home, Oregon. 97386
send me your address and i ll get a box and get it ready to ship to you.

I sent the MOney Order and Confirmed again that the ANTENNA was the CUSH CRAFT ARX6, and not the AR6.
NOTE:
( The ARX6 has approximately a 6db gain over the AR6 which is a 3DB Antenna.)
I already had an AR6 and was looking forward to the Larger 6 db gain ARX6 Cush Craft.
The ANTENNA arrived after about a week or so, unpacked it and found the wrong antenna , I sure was disappointed, Robert Ross N7WQY shipped me an AR6, not the ARX6 that he advertised!
This happened the week of late August and Early Sept 2008 .
I have since sent N7WQY 2 Emails asking for the Correct Antenna or a REFUND!
He has not answered any of my EMAILS.
I would suggest anyone now days buying or selling do a Search in the FORUMS like this one "Ham to Ham Reference" and in QTH "Feedback Forum"
First before you decide to deal with an individual.
I did a GOOGLE search after the Fact and sure enough there was W7WQY with issues!
Based on reading the above posts by other hams, Ham Radio Trading has changed !
