[ForSale-Swap] VHF: FS 2M EME Array

[Kevin Hobbs]

Hello All;

I listed for sale my 2m EME array some months and had a number of interested
parties. Since then I believed I had a qualified buyer, who finally backed
out the deal today since tomorrow he was supposed to come and pick up all
the equipment.

My house is sold and all equipment must be picked up quickly.

The array is now taken down, disassembled into easily transportable sized
pieces, and ready pickup. Pickup with a 16' trailer would make things easy.
Antennas are now separated into 2 halves, further disassembly is possible,
but I have no intention of completely breaking down the antennas,
individually packing / shipping.

What is available is follows:
- 6 x M2 2MXP28 XPOL antennas
- 12 phasing lines (LMR400 electrically matched length via network analyzer)
- 2 custom 6 Port Power Dividers Professionally made by M2
- Azimuth mounting plate with elevation bearings, activation mechanism, 24"
linear actuator
- Heavy duty H-frame complete
- Special custom designed mounting frames made of welded aluminum supports,
Extren (UV resistant Pultrusion - similar to Fiberglass only much better)
and custom swaged Aluminum joiners. Each antenna is supported in two places
to minimize boom sag and maintain proper array geometry.
- I also have a couple of runs of 225' of 7/8" Heliax, RG-213, control
cables, superflex rotor jumpers, etc.
- Past performance of the array has been very good as proven in contests and
easy EME DXpedition contacts.

I have a small fortune invested in this array (design time, raw materials,
commercial parts / brackets, Aluminum welding, fabrication, thousands and
thousands of $, etc), but would be willing to make someone a very good deal.
I may be willing to split things up people are interested in the power
dividers separate and then either 2 or 4 antennas, etc.

The array is an awesome performer and I would really like to see someone
take advantage of all the effort that has gone into this thing. At this
point I am ready to practically give this stuff away ... $1500US will get
you everything. This package includes everything you need except an Azimuth
axis / rotator (I have a TIC 1032 ring rotor that may available separately
if needed).

I am located west of Toronto (less than 1 hour from Buffalo NY and less than
3 hours from Detroit MI).
