I have never had to do this before, but I feel that it is necessary to keep others from having it happen to them.. Long Story Short the above gentleman... He never gave me his Callsign ... Sold me a Jupiter Transceiver that he stated in the ad that had the internal Antenna Tuner installed.. Well when I received it it didn't... I have tried to email him but he does not return my emails.. The Radio and accessories that I got from him work fine and are in good condition but the only reason I bought the radio (I had another Jupiter without the tuner that I sold because of this sale) was for the tuner... So I am very disapointed that someone would do this... I would like to speak to him and see if perhaps it was a typo, but he isn't answering my email.. Enuff Said

Tried using QRZ database for detective work?
Hi Frank
Have you tried using the QRZ.com database of names, cities, etc, to do a little poor hams detective work? I have used this in the past, and if you know the name (which it seems you do) and the City & State the dude is from (which you probably do), it should be a simple matter of getting his callsign from that info and hence his address. If you need any help with this, I will be glad to assist you. There are too many rotten eggs in ham radio today, and that is one reason I am getting ready to sell out...too many "CB Extra Class" operators on the ham bands, and after over 25 years of this (I just turned 42 BTW, so I was licensed early) I am sick of it.
