For Sale
Hygain Hightower - HT-18 Vertical Antenna.  New in the boxes.    $750.00
Note that shipping from the factory was $450 and I will 
?bite-the-bullet? on that cost.  You pick up in Soldotna.

I have had two of these antennas way back when and got excited about 
doing it one more time.  I don?t operate anymore and now wish to sell 
this great antenna.  (This is the model of antenna that KL7GNP, John 
Bierman, had in his front yard and it worked like gang-busters.  AL7FS)

Rich Armstrong, KL7PB, phone 907-260-3519   rich3 at acsalaska.net

 From AL7FS:  Today, the AV-18HT is priced at $949.95 from Hygain.  Add 
shipping and that is $1500 total.  If you ever wanted a top-of-the-line 
vertical antenna but could not afford it, now is the time to jump. 
Don?t wait, just call Rich and say yes.

Subject: [KL7AA] Old Pics of AT&T Tower
Message-ID: <alpine.BSF.2.00.1208151459130.43703@solo.tibor.org>

I realize this is kind of an odd request, but I figured that there might 
be a good chance someone here might be able to help me out.

I'm trying to find old photos of the AT&T towers in the Anchorage area 
from when they had the old KS horn reflector antennas on them.  They were 
removed sometime in the 1990's, so any photos prior to that are what I'm 
looking for.

I'm mainly interested in photos of the Government Hill tower, but I'd also 
be interested in any photos of the Rabbit Creek tower on Clark Road as 
well.

If you happen to have any photos like this I would really appreciate 
hearing from you.

Thanks,
Mike

Message-ID: <6DFE51E1-155D-4303-B719-999A1B21924E@mtaonline.net>

Thursday night on the Motley Group, Jim/KL7IYD asked that the word get out of an estate sale in the Juneau area.

Items of interest include some Collins gear : KWM2, KWS1, 75A4, and a Heathkit SB 220 amp.  There are more but those were what he mentioned in particular.

For further information you should contact Jim at:  KL7IYD at ARRL.NET.
