Radio Robbery
Buddy Brannan, a blind amateur radio operator, was riding an Austin city
bus about 1 PM on Wednesday, Dec. 30, talking on his handy-talkie. A guy
on the bus asked him about the radio and Buddy gave him a demo. The guy
liked it so much he asked to look at the radio and ripped it off. Jumped
off the bus and left Buddy on the bus.
Here is a description of the thief, as given by the bus driver: Black
man, 28 to 35 years old, dark complexion, medium height (5'6" or 5'7"),
medium build, short haircut (no afro or anything like that). It happened
at the end of the #10 South 1st route (approx. William Cannon and S. 1st).
The radio is a Yaesu FT-470 dual-bander, serial number 450452, with its
stock battery pack (probably dead by now). No leather carry case. For
identification purposes, memory channel 19 is programmed for 410.00 and
channel 20 for 470.00 MHz.
If you should encounter this radio, please contact Buddy at (512)
452-6172, or via Internet at [e-mail]. Thank you.
