Tony Fay EI6EQB picks up his prize.

I had the very great pleasure today of getting to meet the winner and  hand over the Cleartone CM-7200 4m radio to it's new owner.

Let me introduce Tony Fay EI6EQB (In his own words):

My Name is Tony,

I live in Artane, on the North side of Dublin City, Locator IO63VJ.

I have an interest in all things electronic.

My Father is Tom, EI6K, who was an RO in the 50's and did Radio and TV repairs from the family home, and it is to him I owe my interest in radio, electronics and computers from an early age. I have been working in Data Comms and the computer industry since 1979.

Since 1992 I have been a member of the North Dublin Radio Club EI0NDR.

I am mainly active on VHF/ UHF but I am now redeveloping my interest in HF now that I have erected a Dipole antenna for 40 Meters at my QTH.  The take-off for this antenna is NE and SW.

I am delighted Tony has won the radio and he promised me that he would make me his first contact on 4m!!!
Keep an ear for him on the band and I wish him lots of hours of enjoyment with the radio.

Competition for Cleartone CM-7200 4m AM/FM radio is now closed.

I have been overwhelmed by the number of people who have put their name in to see if they would win the radio, it is a pity that there can only be one winner.

I was over at the local Post Office yesterday and got prices for postage to the different countries  from where the call signs below are from. 
(For Ireland €12.50, For Europe €40.00 and for UK €30.00).

So when the lucky person is drawn today there will be also 2 runner's up drawn, I will email the winner with postage details and make arrangements for payment, the radio will be posted as soon as I have a day from work which should be no later than next Saturday, if the winner changes his/her mind about the radio for any reason then the 2nd runner up will be notified, if the 2nd runner up changes his/her mind also then the 3rd runner up will be notified, nobody is under any obligation what so ever to take the radio, all three call signs will be put on my next post this evening.

One of the following 40 people will be the winner of the draw:

EI7IW, EI2HEB, EI3HGB, PA3BAS, PA1FOX, EI4IP, PD1BT, PC5E, PE1PQX, PE5ED, MI6CQS, EI2HJB, PA2EFR, PA0HJA, PE2AAB, ON4PC, PE5HV, PA0FMY, ON7WP, PE1IOC, G8JGO, EI4IN, M0XTA, G7AGI, EI3FW, EI2HX, EI2HYB, EI3HBB, EI6EQB, ON2TD, EI3HCB, EI6FR, EI9KF, PA7EY, EI4GGB, MI0RRE, EI5GN, PA3MET, EI4FNB, GW4JQP.

Winner will be announced later today.

Cleartone CM-7200 Giveaway.

I am going to give away one of these fine radios to someone, the radio will be:
completely and absolutely free, you only pay for postage.

The one I am giving away is the one I reviewed in my Blog. See POST below for all details on the radio..
Please note the radio is a second hand (used) ex-pmr radio.

Now, here are the rules!!!! 

Firstly you must have PayPal or be able to pay postage by PayPal and also I want you to email me with the reason as to why you should get the radio, not an essay, just a few words.
Secondly, you must have a Ham Radio license, I am unable to give the radio to a person who has no Ham Radio License, I do not think it would be fair to that with actual Ham Radio Operators applying to win the radio.

This is not a joke or anything like that, just send me the details and that will be that…

Email me at: ei4dib@gmail.com

Winner will be notified on 30^th June about postage costs etc and arrangements will be made to get the radio shipped to you. If by chance that the winner changes his/her mind or thinks the postage is prohibitive then the next runner up will be notified.
The radio will not be given away until after the 30th June, I will not end the competition early for any reason, all people who send in a request their names will be put into a hat and my 6 year old grandson will pick out the winner.
One more thing... When the winner receives the radio I would like for them to send me a photo of you with the radio so that I can put up on my Blog...

GOOD LUCK......
