There is still bargains out there, you only need to find them!!

I regularly visit a few emporiums to search for some bargains to be had.  Buying radio-, electronic equipment and household items new are getting very expensive.  However in the second hand trade there is still some bargains out there, you only need to find them.   The past two days I have been prowling for some bargains.  I ran into a few items but did not find any radio equipment, like the last time.  Well here is a few of the items I picked up:

Above:  HUAWEI LTE Modem/Router using SIM card  R290.00

Above:  220v Aluminium Cooling Fans  R10.00 Each

Above:  6 x 50mm PVC Couplers  R5.00 Each

What will I be using the items for?

The Huawei will be used with the Digital Repeater soon to be installed in the Mossel Bay area.

The fans will be used to keep the air flowing over this years biltong.

The couplers will be used to build a ring antenna as described by Christi ZS4CGR  HERE.
