Hi Thomas,<\/p>\n

I was just on HRO\u2019s website and noted that they have the C Crane SkyWave on sale for $119.99 until 1\/2\/2023. https:\/\/www.hamradio.com\/detail.cfm?pid=H0-016072<\/a> That\u2019s a great price! I am fairly sure I paid $170 for mine which I purchased 5 years ago.<\/p>\n

73 & Merry Christmas,<\/p>\n

Jack<\/p>\n

Thank you for the tip, Jack! That’s an excellent price on the Skywave SSB. My guess is they’re selling of this original version (Version 1) of the Skywave SSB to make room for the new Skywave SSB 2<\/a>.\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n
