To: Ham Radio Outlet

Attention: Steve Gilmore: W4SHG/ WD4HRO Business Development Manager HRO

From: Bob Burchett; WB6SLC/ K6SLC Club Trustee, Enterprise Electronics/ Novexcomm.com 

The problem: Now that all of the "radio/ electronics oriented" stores have closed up, the closest ones are more than 25 miles from our densely populated, ham club friendly area and we want to bring an HRO Store to fill that huge void.

Who needs it?: We have the PV ARC, URAC, South Bay ARC, Queen Mary W6RO, USS IOWA (NI6BB), W6TRW ARC and a lot more that have no local sales, service or installation support. Our company provides all 3 of these; please read ON! 

Why HRO? Torrance is halfway between existing HRO Anaheim and Burbank facilities and well known as virtually the last 'brick & mortar' type of store serving this type of clientele. While Enterprise Electronics already provides sales, service and installations to the radio community, we want to bring in the considerable product line an HRO affiliation will afford the radio community. There are plenty of ham radio clubs, groups, SWLs and operators who will patronize this new store and we are all actively petitioning HRO to have this new facility created by Bob Burchett WB6SLC to actively serve the area. Hey! We have even converted 2 CBers to hams in the last couple of months; we actively add to the community constantly! 

Two companies supporting ham radio: Under this same roof is Novexcomm the #1 manufacturer of ham radio rack mounts and portable case "Go Boxes" supporting Field Day, AREC/ ARES and other public safety events. We are in this big time! 

We do more than sell: We have the usual sales floor/ display area but for the last 48+ years we have also provided after-sale service, programming, tech support and installation. We can mount that new radio in your vehicle and even install your new tower or replace the antennas or rotors on yours; just ask the TRW/ NG Radio Club W6TRW hams; we brought in a 135 ton crane and 2 tower climbers to work their M-Squared antenna stack on their 2 towers!

This isn't a nationwide petition!  Please share it with others that live/ work nearby to Torrance as this store will serve the 25+ mile radius specifically.  

We hire radio people too: Want to join the team at EE/ Novexcomm?  Help us get this new store in and let us know you want some part/ full time work here; EE is a local family-owned business and employer in the area. Ham license is a plus and you will be in great company with W6JK, WA6ILQ, KD8PIQ and more as we keep growing. 

To HRO: The signers are ham radio operators, potentially new hams and electronics/ radio enthusiasts that hope you will consider the concept favorably and allow our new store to carry the proud flag of HRO into Torrance CA where we feel it will fill a major local need.
