Someone on here some months ago complained about a deal gone sour with this fellow, they had purchased a huge steel tower and it was all bent and useless or something like that. Let the buyer beware.

I have a chance to pick up a used but never installed Yaesu G-800DXA rotator and lower mast clamp for a fair price. It was never hung in a tower to turn antennas, it was used to test long wiring lead
