Beam Antennas for the 432 MHz band: I have a couple of M2 beam antennas for sale. M2 antennas are usually considered to be one of the best brands, well made. One of the things that sets M2 antennas apart is that the elements in these beams are insulated from the boom. Apparently this gives the beams better performance. Both of these work fine, and look extremely good. They have stainless steel hardware, so corrosion is not a problem. They can be mounted either horizontally or vertically. 21 elements for 432 MHz, on a 14.5 foot boom. Broken down into three approximate 5 foot long sections, but with all elements assembled on boom. $100 15 elements for 432 MHz on a 10.5 foot boom. Broken down into two approximate 5 foot long sections, but with all elements assembled on boom. $85 . Cushcraft A 50-3 Six Meter Ham Radio Beam: The Cushcraft A 50-3 is a six meter, three element beam on a six foot boom. It is very much a "standard" six meter beam. It is the time of year that six meters should be opening up, so get this antenna to be ready. This antenna is in good shape. Actually, it still shines. Since it uses stainless steel hardware, you do not need to worry about rust and corrosion. This one was made in New Hampshire. Although this one includes paper work, it is also marked for easy assembly. Get this one for half the price of a new one. Only $70. . Amateur (Ham) Radio 2 meter J Pole Antenna: The J Pole 2 meter antenna offers some gain over a ground plane or dipole type of antenna, and is fairly easy to mount. It is a fairly broad band antenna, covering the entire 2 meter amateur radio band. The antenna analyzer shows this one is resonant at 146.7 MHz. Although J pole antennas are made from various materials, this one is made from copper pipe, so it is very rigid. Only $30. This one can NOT be shipped as it is much too long. . Cushcraft Ringo Ranger Omnidirectional Vertical Antennas: The Cushcraft Ringo Ranger Antennas have been the standard of the industry for many years. They provide omnidirectional gain on the order of 6 db, and are rugged antennas. Mechanically, they are made to go on a 1 1/4 inch mast. Both of these work well, and are in good shape mechanically. They use stainless steel hardware, so corrosion is not an issue. They both have SO-239 connectors, ready for your PL-259. Paper work included with both. The first is for 2 meters. It is $55. The second one is for 440 MHz, and is $45. . Hustler G6-144B, 2 m Vertical Antenna: The Hustler G6-144B Vertical Antenna uses a 5/8 wave lower and a phase matched 5/8 wave upper collinear radiator that have been spaced for the optimum lowest angle of radiation, giving 6 db gain over a dipole, or 8.1 dbi. G6-144B antennas are totally self-supporting, about 10 feet high. Hustler antennas are known for their quality and robustness. Specifications: Vertical Antenna Height: 9.75 ft. Antenna Material: Fiberglass/Aluminum Antenna Power Rating: 600 W Antenna Connector: UHF female, SO-239 Mast Mounting Type: Clamp-on Mast Mounting Clamp: 1 to 1 3/4 in. Antenna Wind Survival: 100 mph Antenna Weight: 6.80 lbs. Frequency Coverage Range: 143-149 MHz Vertical Antenna Gain: 6.0 dBd This one works like it should, and looks very nice. Stainless steel hardware, so no corrosion problems. With paper work for $85. . . I also have many other accessories available such as many different types of microphones, HTs, VHF and UHF rigs, HF and VHF/UHF antennas, connectors, miscellaneous accessories, etc. Just too many to list here. Please e-mail your requests. . Prices do not include shipping from Florida. Thanks. 73, Ken, W8EK Ken Simpson E-mail to W8EK at FLHam.net or W8EK at arrl.net Voice Phone (352) 732-8400 . .
