Would members please look out for the following items stolen from the secured garage (Thornton-Cleveleys) of Ted Bottomley (G4MXR QTHR) sometime overnight on Monday 19th April.  Each item can be uniquely identified by various means but the main indications to an unwary buyer would be the lack of OEM handbooks, manufacturer’s original boxes, OEM power leads, OEM chargers, OEM carrying cases, antennas and the fact that they are all in virtually new condition; they would all appear “to be missing something” you would expect to see when buying this kind of kit from someone.

• Icom IC 718 HF Transceiver
• Alinco DX-70 Transceiver (HF + 6m)
• Yaesu FT 817ND Transceiver
• FC-130 Frequency Counter
• AV 1000 SWR/Power Meter
• Heil “Quiet Phone Pro” headset with Icom microphone insert and adaptor

If you have any information regarding these items, please contact Ted via e-mail ( This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it ) or call Blackpool Police on 293933.  Case Reference AN1001155.
