Same dude holds a ZL2 call as well.  FT8 guide is very good.

Been on LOTW for year so won't read the other but if he doesn't say it
in his book - UPLOAD AFTER EVERY OPERATING SESSION.

Complete with control unit and all cables.  On the ground but boom will
require a long trailer or roof rack to transport.  I can deliver in central
Oklahoma, otherwise, pick up here in OKC only.

All manuals included plus marine epoxy paint for the fiberglass tubes.

Can include a new lightning protection box for control cables for $100 more.

The parts kit I bought from the UK to do the GM3SEK 6 meter modification/
improvement is also available at my cost of $50.

The antenna was previously bought and erected by AB5I (SK) and includes
the high wind kit.

The driver Element Housing Unit (EHU) is just back from refurbishing and
testing by W1JCW and a complete new "sweep" kit is also included.

I have decided to go a different antenna route, even though the SteppIR
performance comes highly recommended by many DXers such as N5OK
and N5AQ in the OKC area.

Priced dropped from $1200 to $1000 firm plus any chosen options above.
