MFJ-1788 40-15m High-Q loop. 36″ Loop antenna, like-new. I only installed outside for 2 weeks. Includes tuning box with cross-needle power/SWR meter, and power supply. 115VAC. | $550 OBO | KO4SSA (Charles) | cbeaudette99@me.com |
DX Engineering Multiband Vertical Antenna. DXE-MBVE -1 multiband vertical antenna. Originally it was 160-10 meters but I sold the top section separately and now it is a 40-10 meter vertical. It has a DXE stainless steel radial ground plate and a DXE fold down tilt base. It is 24 feet tall (nine 3 foot fitted sections with marine grade stainless clamps). The Unun is missing but it will work well on some bands without it. I will also throw in the direct bury coax. It is offered FREE to any interested hams who are willing to take it down. | FREE | K4EZD (Vince) | vp1469@gmail.com |
Unassembled Rohn BX56 Tower with original hardware and ground tail piece. Located in Suffolk, VA. The tower is complete and I judge the condition as sound with only surface rust in some spots. The tower sections stack inside themselves for transport as a single unit pretty easily in an 8’ bed truck. | FREE (to a ham who can use it) | AE4IX (Rick) | richard.current2@gmail.com |
Used Cushcraft MA5B, along with an aluminum mast and rotator. Located in Chesapeake, VA. Antenna, mast, and rotator are FREE in exchange for taking the antenna down. It will be a little tricky and likely require the use of a small vertical man lift, since a cedar tree has grown up into the antenna space. The tree has done some damage to the antenna, but I think it could be fixed relatively easily. The damage was primarily limited to those fine elements that form the X patterns on portions of the antenna. Since they are not tubular, it should not be too difficult to straighten them back to their normal shape. | FREE (see notes in description) | KS4NO (Mike) | msk172@verizon.net |

Autek Research QF-1A SSB/CW/AM Filter. This was one of the premier filters before DSP and can hold its own against even some current DSP filters! Works fine (all features work), I had this attached to the output of an FT-101ZD! Some slight damage to the two left knobs but has not affected the function of the knobs at all. Instruction sheet included. Located in Suffolk, VA. | $90 | KGØLH (Bruce) | bkliche@hotmail.com |
