Annual ARRL On-Line Auction Now Open for Bidding!

The 11th Annual ARRL On-Line Auction now is under way. Bidding on nearly 300 items will continue through Thursday, October 27. Participants must register. Those who have participated in past ARRL On-Line Auction events may use their previous log-in information.

This year’s auction booty includes some vintage ham radio items, including a Collins S Line. Premier items from the QST “Product Review” inventory include the Icom IC-7851 HF+6 meter transceiver, an Alpha 9500 amp, and the new Icom IC-7300 HF+6 meter transceiver. Also on the block is Draka NKRFA01200 ½-inch coaxial cable (by the spool), a RigExpert AA-230 ZOOM 0.1-230 MHz antenna and cable analyzer, and an autographed script from the TV show “Last Man Standing,” starring Tim Allen, KK6OTD.

There are books and publications — including many vintage editions of the ARRL Handbook, among them a special 1942 defense edition and a 1926 edition. Bid on embroidered ham call sign caps and ARRL-branded gear too.

Proceeds from the yearly On-Line Auction benefit ARRL education programs. These include activities to license new hams, strengthen Amateur Radio Emergency Service (ARES) training, offer continuing technical and operating education, and create instructional materials.
