| RF Cafe Giveaways |
From time-to-time, we here at RF Cafe run across items that have been sitting around, not being used for a long time. So, rather than being a pack rat and keeping things that I obviously have not need for, I will be offering them to RF Cafe visitors by means of a drawing. Send me an e-mail when you see an item that you are interested in having, and I will throw your name in the electronic "hat" (an Excel spreadsheet with a random number selection). A winner will be selected once a good number of entries have been received.
The first give-away was a set of more than 25 electronic themed wall charts. Here is the current list of available prizes to choose from.
