We've got to start getting rid of a bunch of stuff:

1) Comtek 40-meter 4-square controller (ACB-40-A) and phasing cables
(Q75-40-4P). $450.00 and the four 1/4-wave verticals are included in the
price. Just come to Silver Springs and get everything.

2) 80-meter vertical with 8 3/16-inch Dacron guys. 52-feet tall with
top-hat. This is made of the bottom of the DX Engineering 65-foot
vertical and the aluminum is worth more than the asking price of $75.00!

3) Four element 15-meter OWA. Covers the whole band and works great.
Includes sleeve balun. $100.00.

4) 140-foot per leg vee-beam made of 18-gauge copperweld wire. Includes
Wireman 16:1 balun and two 400-ohm non-inductive termination resistors.
$50.00.

5) Seven element 6-meter beam on a 33-foot boom with materials to extend
to 8 elements on a 41-foot boom. Boom will have to be cut for transport.
The dimensions of this yagi were provided by G0KSC based on element
information I provided to Justin. $75.00.

6) Cushcraft 13B2 2-meter yagi. Needs boom-to-mast bracket. $50.00.

7) Astron RS-35A power supply. Works well. $75.00.

8) MFJ 259B antenna analyzer. Very good condition. $200.00.

9) KLM/TET two section, 11-foot tall rooftop tower. Designed for mount
at the peak of a roof. Has plate for mounting Ham-M style rotor. $100.00.

10) HAM IV rotor with control box and about 125-feet of control cable.
Only issue is that the bat-handle toggle switch has the handle broken
off. I left it on and turned it off at an outlet strip with the rest of
my gear so it was never a problem. $250.00.

11) Many pieces of aluminum tubing from 1/4 to 1-1/2-inch O.D. element
material to 3-inch O.D. boom material. Some of it in antennas already
built. Too much to list here. Also have some aluminum panels, chassis
and sheets of various sizes. You have to come, look and haggle :>)

12) 432 home-brew 21-element long yagi. Looks like stainless-steel
elements and gamma match driven element. $35.00.

13) 6 and 2-meter rover antenna system. Two KB6KQ horizontal loops on
1-3/4-inch cammo support tube and mounted on a 2-inch trailer
hitch...just plug it into your 2-inch receiver and guy it to pick-up bed
tie-down points. Includes Dacron guy lines. Built, and used for many
years, by K7XC. $100.00.

14) At least 500-feet of Wireman 18 gauge copperweld antenna wire. It
was a 1000-foot spool and I *may* have used 400-feet of the spool. $20.00.

15) Two DX Engineering stainless-steel radial plates. $35.00 each.

16) Rohn-25 24-inch house bracket. Still kind-of attached to my
garage...have to take it down. $35.00.

17) At least 20 4-foot long, 1-3/4-inch diameter, fiberglass cammo
support tubes. $3.00 each.

Everything is pick up in Silver Springs. I do *not* want to ship!

If possible, I would appreciate having this list forwarded to other
northern Nevada/eastern California reflectors.

Thanks!
