HI Drew,
I tried sending this to the reflector, but it didn't work. Please forward to
the club list.

Forwarding this info for Doug......

HI Marty,
 
Here is the dope on the stuff his wife wants to go away. 
 
The only rig seems to be a Ten-Tec Juipiter 538 apparently purchased in
2007. I would imagine that a call to Ten-Tec with his name and call would
turn up the actual sale date and purchase price.
 
The tower is a three section crank-up tilt over, Seems to be abt 50 feet or
so. No rust, the lifting and tilt cables appear to be stainless steel, all
the winches and associated gear are rust free and well painted. It is
supported by a 4 or 5 inch steel pipe in the ground with the bottom section
pivoting from the top of the 7 or 8 foot high pipe. The pipe is set into the
ground without concrete. There is a neighbor that has offrered to bring it
down for whomever wants it, so that sweetens the deal a good bit.
 
It supports what seems to be a tribander HF ant and a very long 14 or so
element 2m long tom horizontal beam. Higain rotator/control box.
 
WB2TGK was Eugene Cseck and the QTH is on Lake Drive just off CR 514 near
Veronica.
 
Interested parties should call a relative (son?) Paul at 732 828 1706.
 
I am looking for a tower, but like Brian, I would rather a 30 footer.
 
No prices were mentioned, but it seems that the aim is to make the stuff go
away so there may be a deal there. Everything is still connected so the
station, rig, and antenna could be proofed on the air I imagine.
 
The afore mentioned Paul stopped me at a gas station to see about doing
something with the station. He saw my call letter tags. Ya never know!
 
73,
