WTS a Webley&Scott 12 Ga PRo Comp shotgun purchased in 2023 with about 250 rounds on it. It's a 32 inch over under shotgun with 3"chambers, manual safety, glove grip stock, adjustable comb and five chokes. The LOP was shortened to 14". I finished the wood with tru oil and painted the side lugs from blue to black. Price is 1500.00. Buyer responsible for FFL transfer fees. First person to post "I'll take it" will get it.
Briefly. Most people say at least $10k so I stopped there. You could also start a local club with dues to pay for the repeater.
I guess on the cheap side, you could try to do a 50w mobile unit and big antenna running off of a battery with solar. But you'll want enough batteries to last multiple days of bad weather and then enough solar to charge them back up in a day. Still a couple grand.
