Folks:
Have a Cubex Quad MK IV PT-5L (current model) for sale - on the ground in
So. MD.
$950 - trades considered.

Specs:
5-band (20-17-15-12-10), 4-elements on a 30' boom.

Current Cubex prices:
$1463 - basic 24' boom 4-element 3-band (20-15-10m ) model
(outperformed my KT-34XA 20-15-10 beam)
Add 17 m. and 12 m. $117

In the 4 years of use, I increased my DXCC 5-band counts:
20m. by 18 (just need 3D2 Conway Reef & N. Korea on 20 now)
17 by 140
15 by 70
12 by 155
10 by 98
Sure, it helps being fully retired now but one cannot work 'em if one cannot
hear 'em; the quad is super.
