> high, Andrews LDF4-50A phasing lines (built & network analyzer matched by 
> M^2), two 4-port M^2 pwr dividers & one 2-port M^2 pwr divider attached to

> can't be split apart to ship & a 3" diameter x 6' 6" long crossboom.  Also 
> included is a very heavy duty M^2 MT-3000A elevation rotor & control box

> Due to the weight of the EL rotor & length of the risers & antennas, I'm

> I can deliver it all to the Williams, AZ hamfest the weekend of July 18 & 
> 19.  Alternately, it can be shipped if the buyer wants to pay for building 
> shipping crates & freight charges.

> 1991 (based on receipts I have) & what I'm asking now if sold as a 
> complete system which is my preference.  If purchased new today, prices
