[Berlin-wireless] Equipment to donate

[Simon Tennant]

Hi Everyone -

I have managed to squeeze some gear into my existing suitcase (about 15
Ubiquiti APs) and will be back in Berlin on 12 Sep and can coordinate
handing off then and also getting a shipment in.

Bob Fynbo

was donating to a group in NY before but they discontinued. All he's asking
is that we'd pay shipping - he has a bunch of Ubiquiti Bullets and heaps of
other gear. I'd imagine the Zollamt might not be the happiest (he mentioned
writing "salvage equipment" on the shipping bill), but let's work that out.
I asked him and he mentioned UPS or FedEx as working for him.
