Set up a trade with Gary North, WA1AOR, of Browns Mills, NJ two weeks ago. I sent a brand new memory keyer to him and he was supposed to send back a Butternut HF5B. I have not seen the antenna yet. He has not answered any e-mails and his phone is disconnected. If status changes I will update. His ad was on all the major swap sites.

Gary got back to me and explained to me the problems he has had getting the antenna shipped. Says it will be shipped tomorrow.

It did take a couple of weeks, but the antenna did arrive in good shape. Said he had trouble getting the antenna in a box that UPS would accept. Also someone stold his phone which answered question as to why he wasn't answering. A little slow in the shipping, but satisfied with the result.
