Ad Number:	1736254
Date Placed:	07/15/25
Name:	Mark Gelstein
Phone Number:	EMAIL ONLY
Callsign:	KA8UGQ
Category:	RADIOHF
Heading:	Dear N Dummer - Here's Why: (QMX+)
Ad Message:	Thanks for your informative email I received regarding my QRP Labs QMX+, which read: "This Radio is $125 as a kit and $185 built. WHy would anyone pay you $100 more. Dum Dum Dummer". The attached photo is the check-out page for this radio with all of the options that mine includes, plus cc fees and FedEX shipping (add $10 more for DHL). Assembling the QMX+ kit is a more complicated undertaking than the struggle you have plugging in your toaster. Given your lack of reading comprehension I wouldn't suggest attempting it at this time, although since you couldn't figure out how to navigate the QRP Labs website I don't think that will be an issue. Your email listed your call as KK5TV at dxer at gmail.com. I responded here because I didn't want to risk insulting an actual amateur radio operator based on your fraudulent information. Next time you want to call someone out, have your facts straight so you can back them up without having to provide a phony profile. 73, have a great day.

Your Response to this Ad:

Due to the amount of non-ham scammers trying to respond to the ads, I am now asking a simple question that ham operators should easily be able to answer, but scammers may not know the answer: What is the number that hams use to represent the phrase "Best Regards"? This number is typically transmitted by hams at the end of a QSO.
Best Regards:
