is that you who bid on the lightweight freq standard down in charm city?
I'm assuming that you mean that double rack GenRad system in Baltimore that was posted earlier, and if so, no, that's not me. If it were within three hours or so, rather than 6-8 hours driving each way I would certainly have asked about pickup and if that was acceptable to the seller I'd have thrown my hat in the ring. Alas it's a bit too far for my inclinations...
