After rebuilding the ham shack and tower last year we unexpectedly are
forced to move to a new QTH. The state of Maryland decided back in Dec 2007
that they needed our property for a new road. Just wished they had told us 1
year earlier and I would not have bothered renovating the house!

In any case we are making out with the deal but it's going to be a while
before I am back on the air. New tower install, lots of things to do to the
new house, etc. Since I have to redesign the whole tower system I plan on
going bigger again for 6M so I would like to sell my Force12 EF-906.

This antenna is extremely robust. The 30' boom is 2" OD with .125" walls.
Elements are .75" tapering to .50". The antenna is designed without a truss
and is spec'd for 120MPH survivability. For added measure I added a
Phillystran truss with it's own self contained truss mast that I will
include. This antenna will NOT detune in adverse weather like ice, snow,
fog, rain, etc.

The EF-906 has only been up 12 months. It is at 61' and although the past 12
months have not been very good for 6M, plus my very limited radio time due
to work travel, I did manage to confirm DXCC # 88, 89 and 90. I also can
work reliable QSO's out to 350 miles any time of day for as long as I want
with this antenna (to like equipped stations).

I will include the Array Solutions W1JR-50-3N balun also.

$400 plus shipping, this is just about 1/2 of what it is new.
