I was able to get the beacon registration released from the prior owner with the help and consent of his mother. The folks at NOAA were very helpful and prompt (thanks for the helpful information Tom). They made a phone call to her and had her fax back a release form.
The beacon is now in an unregistered state- meaning that the next owner will simply go to the registration website and select Register New Beacon to complete the process. I considered registering it to me and then transferrring it to whom ever purchases it but decided that was unnecessarily complicated.
Those of you following this thread- should I re-list this with a link to this original sales thread or should I just leave this open?
The beacon sale is now active again and it is ready for purchase.
One last item of housekeeping. I've had terrible access issues with HF. One of the admins is working with me to help find the cause and we don't believe it is anything HF controls. It is something along the internet path to the HF server. If I do not quickly respond to your questions or messages, it is because I am caught in another outage.
