[South Florida DX Association] 30M Beam - 2 Element

[Michael M. Raskin]

Force-12 EF-230 - 2 element 30M beam; 12' boom, 34' linear loaded elements; 
18' turning radius.  Be King of the band and own 30M.  If you're serious 
about 30M, this is better than an amp because it hears everything!

This beam is 3 years old and got me to 260 on 30M from Martin County (I had 
110 when I left Broward).  Some of the hardware needs to be replaced as the 
cable clamps were not stainless.  Also, most of the 2" aluminum standoffs 
need to be replaced as well (Force-12 sells them new for $7.95 each, or you 
can easily fabricate them yourself) and the price has been adjusted so that 
the handy ham who want to replace some hardware can save a lot.  I paid $120 
extra to have the boom and elements powder-coated dark green at the Force-12 
plant to give the beam a "stealth" appearance and blend in with the foliage. 
It sells for $659 new, plus shipping.   Yours for $250, but you need to pick 
up in Stuart.
