The three 1296 loopers and two 432 yagis have been spoken for.  I still have the two 222 yagis FS for anyone so interested.  73, Jon.

Hello NLRS land
>From the GGM estate I have two each of the following antennas:
222:   13 element, 14'5" boom, T-match N connector432:   22 element, 14' boom, T-match N connector
These are homebrew antennas that are essentially K1FO designs.  These have been up and used for contesting in previous years so I know that they work.  The boom to mast mount is a single through-the-boom U bolt so I consider them as is to be light duty, good for portable or rover operations.  If I put one up at a home station I would add an appropriate boom to mast plate.  Price is $10 for each antenna with the proceedings going to the club.  
I also have three of the following 1296 antennas for sale
1296:  45 loop element, 12' boom, DSE2345LY that is a center mount.  I recently used four of these to work HB9Q on EME, but have now decided to go a different route so three of the four are for sale.  I rescued these antennas a few years ago where they were fairly beat up.  I cleaned them up and returned the all the loops to a mostly round configuration again, so they are a little battered but they work (witness my EME contact).  New (which they are not) they are around $200.  Asking $30 per antenna.
All antennas can be picked up at my QTH in east Bloomington, close to the Mall of America.  Or, I can also bring them to our half day Aurora'21 event on July 31.  Direct replies are best.
PS:  The ARRL 222 & Up DX Challenge is August 7/8.  Pick up one of these antennas and work W0ZQ/R  !

73, JonW0ZQ
