[HoustonHam] [Microwave] Parting out 6 GHz gear

[Dave]

Hi, Chris;

First life I have seen on this list in quite a while.

This equipment is from the old TV microwave link system (in fact, I just 
scrapped out the TX from the KBMT link). I was given the opportunity to 
be there (and scrounge) when they started dropping the towers along the 
paths.

I am keeping the 10GHz gear that was at the sites.

My neighbor and I did manage to get some tower sections which we 
disassembled and use for structural projects.  Useless as tower after 
the drops.

I really wish I could have gone up and gotten a couple or more of the 
dishes but the contractor would not allow it and I did not have the 
appropriate rigging with me to lower the dishes. I could really use a 
couple as a friend and I would like to set up a link between us. He has 
a 350 ft. tower.

Let me know if you want  anything as I plan to scrap the last dozen or 
so in the next couple of weeks.

A: I need the space and B: I can use the money. I need to get a match 
set of xsistors for one of my IC2KL linears, It had the GAUL to die one 
me after 35 years of contesting and DXing <g>!

BTW: I will be disposing of my complete 6 meter repeater package. I just 
don't have enough height here for it to be useful.
