KK0CW Phil Pierce has surfaced again in Texas. He made a listing on one of the traders nets last week from his mobil rig in Houston, TX. He was living in Houston, several years back, when we made the deal at the Belton hamfest.
I tried several times to get him to honor a deal we made several years back. I traded him a TS450 with an added Inrad filter ($150.00) for a set of nice looking Kenwood twins 599D's. In exchange for my leaving the Inrad filter in the rig, he was to send me the Xtal converters (2 and 6 meter)for the twins.(This was a good deal for him without the Inrad filter in the rig) After about 3 weeks I contacted him by email and he just shrugged it off, so I called his house after getting his phone number from a ham in Houston. I was told he was gone to Oregon, and could never get in contact with him again.
His new picture on QRZ looks like he is back trading again, so be very careful trading with him!!!! You cannot trust him!!
I recently contacted him by email #and he simply said to do as I pleased, so I hope this will advise anyone that thinks of trading with him that he cannot be trusted!!
I hope this keeps anyone from getting taken advantage of by this crook!!
Have a great day.
