It=92s apparent that I will be climbing no more, getting too old I =
guess.
Arthritis, bad hand and vertigo.  It=92s gotten too dangerous for me.  =
So,
I have for sale:

1 Hy-Gain TH-6 HF Yagi.  6 element.  Covers 10, 15, 20 meter bands.  24
foot boom length.  33 foot maximum element length.  Stainless steel
hardware.

1 Ham-IV antenna rotator, with the automatic pointing kit installed.
Needs service.  It stopped working last spring.  Everything in the shack
looks good.  Nothing happened to damage it.  I suspect a loose
connection up on the tower, but I am unable to climb up there to check
it out.

1 24 foot 2 =BD inch aluminum mast

1 Rohn 45 guyed tower.  100 feet.  Complete, with pier pin base section
and top section with thrust bearing.  Good condition.  Complete with 4
sets of torque arms, 3(plus) sets of =BC=94 guy wires, 4 sets of
turnbuckles, rotor mount, new (never used) equipment shelf.  All =
you=92ll
need is a concrete base, new pier pin and 3 guy anchors.  The top
section has 1 broken weld, which ought to be rewelded.  The weld
currently is clamped with a stainless steel hose clamp, which has worked
flawlessly for over 10 years.

The good news=85 I=92ll sell the complete package for $1000.
The bad news=85 I can=92t climb, so you=92ll have to take it down =
yourself.

I worked over 300 countries with this outfit, using 80 watts CW, and
contesting was a breeze (especially with the quick-point kit installed
in the HAM-IV).  It=92s a killer setup.
