HF Antennas and related items For Sale --
"Double Bazooka" Antenna, Doublet Antenna, Vertical
Antenna, Mobile Mast, Antenna Switch box, Lightning
Arrestors, Connectors, SWR Bridges, Low Pass TVI
Filters, etc.


"Double Bazooka" Broadband Dipole Antennas:

These antennas are sometimes call "Double Bazooka" dipoles,
but also go by other names. They are made from RG-8 coax
instead of just wire. They are fed differently, with
both halves of the coax used. The result is an antenna
that is more broad banded than a regular wire dipole,
permitting one to cover all, or most, of a ham band with
a reasonable SWR. Of course these can be put into an
inverted V configuration as well. Some say these have
gain, and some say they do not.

I have antennas for two different bands:

40 meter antenna as described above (approx 66 feet long)
with about 25 feet of RG-8 coax feedline attached, terminated
in a PL-259 connector. $50

10 meter version, about 16 feet long. No feedline on this
one, but there is a place for you to attach your own coax.
$15

Buy both of the above for $60.


HF Doublet Antenna:

Doublet antenna consisting of about 110 feet of wire, with
center insulator, 2 end insulators, and 2 center supporting
insulators. This antenna is made to be fed with "open wire"
450 ohm transmission line, and used with an antenna tuner.
It should be able to tune from 80 thru 10 meters, with the
proper tuner. $20.


Hustler 4BTV HF Vertical Antenna:

The 4BTV is a vertical antenna that covers 10, 15, 20, and 40
meters. It can also cover 75/80 meters by using an RM-75
resonator.

This one is in extremely good shape. It actually still shines!
No corrosion evident. The actual base shows very minor signs
of being out in the weather, but the silent key who used it
was in a restricted community, and took the top part out of
the garage only when he wanted to get on the air.

Paper work is included for $120.

I would prefer pickup near Ocala, Florida, just off of I-75.
It will easily fit inside a car. It is possible to ship it,
but the cost is high due to it being oversize. Obviously,
shipping is not included in the price.


Hustler mobile mast:

Hustler MO-3.5 mobile mast.
Hustler makes the MO-3 mast for use with their series of
mobile HF resonators. They also make an MO-4. The MO-3
is 54 inches long, and the MO-4 is a "shorty" only 22
inches long. This particular mast has been modified and
is between the two -- it is 34 inches long. It would be
ideal if you have the room for slightly more length than
the MO-4, but not enough for the MO-3. Of course this
one would result is more efficiency than the MO-4. $18


Heath HD-1481 Antenna Switch box:

The Heath HD-1481 is a remote antenna switch for switching
up to four antennas. Power is provided thru the coax, so
no control cable is needed.

This is the control box only that is used inside the shack.
It does not include the outside box. This came from a silent
key and we can not find the outside box. The inside box works
fine, and looks very close to new.

Paper work is included for $35.


Lightning Arrestors:

These lightning arrestors are made to be inserted in to
your coaxial feedline, to help reduce lightning damage.

Cushcraft LAC-1
No markings on this to confirm the model number, but it
looks like the Cushcraft "Blitz Bug".
It has an SO-239 on one end and a PL-259 on the other end
(female UHF on one end and male on the other). $10


Alliance HD-73 Rotor "Lower Mast Bracket":

This is the complete bracket that attaches to an Alliance
HD-73 rotor, so that it can be mounted on a mast, outside
of the tower.

This includes the two bracket pieces, plus all of the
hardware, including all washers, lock washers, and nuts.
The hardware is all stainless steel, and is in exceptionally
nice shape. The hardware is probably worth the price of
the entire package!

Actually, it appears that the "upper bracket" on the HD-73
is the same as the lower bracket, so if you have an upper
bracket that is messed up, this might be just what you need
to repair it. $20


HF and VHF SWR Bridges:

This unit covers from 3 to 150 MHz, covering HF,
6 meters,and 2 meters. SO-239 connectors.

Royce 2-100 Single Meter SWR Bridge / Field Strength Meter
This one works fine, and looks extremely nice. I do not see
any scratches on it, but it does have a previous owners name
on it. In its original box with original instructions. $28


Surge Station and Noise Filter:

This unit is still in its Radio Shack (#61-2327) box, never
used. It says it is for a notebook computer, but it can be
used with anything. It has connections for a computer network
(LAN, RJ-45 connector), the AC power, and for phone lines
(RJ-11 connector), and provides noise filtering and surge
suppression on each. It even includes $25,000 insurance
against surges. Maximum power rating is 1875 Watts, or 15
amps. Noise filtering is listed at 40 db.

This unit is new, in its original box, with its original
paper work. $12


Low Pass TVI Filters:

A low pass TVI filter is added to the transmitter to reduce
harmonic interference. All have SO-239 connectors, are 50
ohm filters, and include paper work.

Bencher YA-1, high power, low pass TVI filter
If you need a more heavy duty filter for the output of
your amplifier, this one is ideal. It will take full legal
power plus, and has at least 80 db signal attenuation at
TV channel 2.This one works great, and looks close to new.
Bencher currently sells these for about $90. Only $60.

Bud LF-601 low pass filter
This filter is adjustable for best attenuation in your particular
situation, and also to more closely match your specific impedance.
It cuts off at about 52 MHz (if adjusted as such) so it can be
used on 6 meters, and will handle 1500 watts. $35

Drake TV-1000-LP Low pass TVI filter
This is the filter that may also be used on the low end of six
meters, as well as HF. It is good for 1000 W "average" below
30MHz, and about 200 W up to 52 MHz. With paper work for $30.

Drake TV-1000
LP Filter as above, which functions fine electrically, but looks ugly.
With paper work. $25

B & W FL-10/1500
This filter cuts off just above 10 meters, and handles 1500
Watts. It is the latest model B&W filter.In very nice condition,
it looks close to new. $40.

Johnson 250-20 Low Pass Filter
This is a 52 ohm cylindrical low pass filter with a cut
off frequency of 45 MHz and 75 db of attenuation.
It is rated to take 1000 Watts of AM, or 5000 Watts
PEP SSB. With mounting bracket. $30

Para Dynamics PDC 1089
This filter is rated at a full Kilowatt, up to 30 MHz.
5 x 6 x 2 inch black box, instead of the more familiar long
enclosure. It looks like new. $25


20 meter trap:

This is an LC "Trap" to eliminate 20 meter interference.
Nominal frequency is 14.250 MHz, but it has a variable
capacitor to adjust it for best signal rejection. It
is in a minibox about 5 x 2 1/2 x 2 1/2 inches, with
an SO-239 connector on each end. It looks as if it
would handle 100 watts, but not a linear amplifier.

A note on it says "14.250 MHz Trap. Use on 10 m and 15 m"
$8


Coax connectors and adapters:

Prices are per connector. Several of each are available.
Most are unused.

UHF Right angle 90 degree elbow connector $3

UHF double female "Barrel connector" (two SO-239 together) $3

UHF "Bulkhead Connector" - Double female, as above, but for
mounting thru a window, siding, etc. about 3 inches long $6

UHF double male connector (two PL-259's together) $3

UHF "T" connector with two female (SO-239) and one male
(PL-259) connection $5

Antenna adapter to fit the BNC connector on the HT
and provide an SO-239 connector that will permit
a PL-259 to be attached. (BNC male to UHF female) $5

UHF Male to BNC female (opposite of above) $5

BNC male for coax cables
standard type $2
crimp on type $3
-
Chassis mount BNC female
square mount (uses 4 screws) $3
screw in type $3

BNC "T", two female and one male $3

"N" Connector, Double Male $8


I also have many other accessories available such as many
different types of microphones, HTs, VHF and UHF rigs, HF
and VHF/UHF antennas, etc.
Just too many to list here. Please e-mail your requests.


Prices do not include shipping from Florida.

Thanks.
