QTH.COM Swap Chat

Posted was looking for a good Ameritron 811 or variant and got a couple of emails. Searched call signs and they haven't been active for a few years and every available search database shows no email address for either one. Both emails are ran thru Hotmail. I sent an email to one saying I would pass and within minutes, I got an email from the other asking if I had seen the attached pictures. Information below.

Same offer of a lightly used 811H shipped for $700

Just had a message from what I believe to be a "fake K9SL" saying he had an NC57 receiver to sell me. This was in response to my WTB ad for this radio. He replied outside the qth.com system. I responded if you are legit, please respond directly through the qth.com system by clicking on "click to contact" at the bottom of my ad. I suspect I'll never hear from him again. -- 73 de Carl N8VZ
