Pat:

There's a Tentech Omni 6, plus a little Tentech Scout HF rig.

There are also a number of keyers, paddles, and straight keys to be used to 
send CW.  He also has quite a few HT's, in varying conditions.

He does have 3 towers, but I'm going to have to get help to assess their 
condition.  One tower has a tribander on it, and another has a 20-meter beam 
of some sort.  The third tower is just standing with nothing on it--almost 
looks like a project that never got carried through to completion.

There's probably more, but that's what I've taken note of at this point.
