[OKDXA] K5YAA's Mono-Band Yagis

[chouinard.ok93 at gmail.com]

Greetings friends! 

 

I have a couple of items here that someone might find of interest.  

 

When we brought my dad's towers down a couple of years ago, I hung on to a
couple of Force 12 mono-banders that I thought I might put back up some day.
One is an 8L/10m and the other is a 6L/15m.  Both antennas appear to be in
good condition, however the baluns may need to be replaced along with some
of the truss and mounting hardware (U-bolts, eyebolts, etc.).  Both were
optimized for CW contesting but would certainly be useful for anyone wanting
to operate on these bands.  

 

I'm not looking to sell these, I'd just like to see them go to a good home
where they might be put back on the air.  I'm sure my dad would prefer that
someone in the OKDXA have them. Booms are partially broken down, but the
elements are fully assembled.  Longest piece is around 23' so it will take a
good-sized trailer to move as-is.  I hauled these home on an 18' trailer
with no problem, just a few element tips hanging off the back.  A can of PB
Blaster and a socket set could get things broken down further if a person
were inclined to do so.

 

I never was too certain that I'd ever have stacked mono-banders like K5YAA.
Now with Tennadyne and Cubex here in the back yard, I'd like to have my own
products in operation and on display.  Not making much progress towards that
goal as I'm too busy building for everyone else. hi hi

 

If you might be interested in one or both of these antennas, shoot me an
email or give me a call.  

 

73,
