[ADXA] Finally Got 6m Confirmations

[jayw5jay]

Hi Bill,That G0KSC design is under both Cushcraft and HyGain antennas. Which as you know is owned by MFJ. If you look at the online manuals you can tell they are both using the old HyGain boom to element clamps and Hardware. Checking all available sites such as HRO, R&L, and MFJ the bottom line is there is no stock. Like I mentioned in the previous email they had a couple of the larger ones direct from the factory. Anything six elements and below is out of stock as of last week. That trend has been since last summer. With the stimulus and the supply line shortage, MFJ/Cushcraft/Hygain products are in short supply. I might add even though they show stock on their website if you click on cart and try to order you will find that there is no stock.By the way my information is coming directly from MFJ about the tubing shortage during a phone call to find out what the latest info was. Every time I have called them since last summer I get the same response. Lead time is another 6 months. 73 JaySent from my Galaxy

If you’re looking at LFA antennas, Cushcraft has several of the G0KSC design, from 4 elements on a 12 ft boom to a monster 8 element on a 42 ft boom. I have the 5 element on a 24 ft boom, works well. It’s typical Hygain construction, and was originally marketed as a Hygain. FUV Sent from AT&T Yahoo Mail for iPadOn Wednesday, May 5, 2021, 8:39 AM, Steve, W5KI <w5ki at silverlarkcrafts.com> wrote:
    No Pat, the low and slow Moxon
        still in place and my only working south antenna for 6m.  Went
        up the hill and disassembled the old HB 4-el to bring it down
        and repair.  But may even look to get a commercial 4-el, like a
        LFA ... and final assemble it up there.  Can't fight to my spot
        with much over a moxon, LOL.  Again, fixed SE for now.
        
        Tnx Pat, Dennis, and everyone else that commented.  Nothing like
        the many of you that have achieved Honor Roll, but I still am
        glad to reach at least some milestone, LOL.  Pleasantly
        surprised to get that done before the real action starts in a
        few more weeks, LOL.

        Steve, 
        Congratulations on getting to 101 on 6M
          DXCC.  I know you have been banging away at it for a while and
          tickled you have been successful.  Is your Moxon still up on
          top of the hill or did you take it down for the winter?  Guess
          you don’t have it if you were working the southern DX through
          the hilltop!
