TowerTalk'ers,
I have for sale a new-in-crate, unused Force12 MAG620/340N antenna.
This is MONSTER 6ele on 20M and 3ele on 40M on the same 47ft boom.
It requires a tower such as Rohn-45/55, and a healthy rotor such as
a prop pitch unit. The present-day cost for this antenna is nearly
$4,750 plus $500 shipping from CA to KY.

I ordered (full-payment in advance) this from Tom N6BT five years
ago in the spring and it took almost 24mo to get it to my door.
Between the production efforts, material supply issues and Tom's
personal problems, and the continuous delays, I opted for other
antennas. I ended up using a 4ele20M 36ft boom and a 4-square on 40M.
I have this unassembled antenna kit (crate is 150" x 25" x 25" and
400lbs) in my garage. The 47ft boom starts out 6" dia, tapers to 5"
and finally tapers to 3". The mast plate (actually a cradle) is
made from 18" x 18" x 1/2" aluminum, and all the elements are very
heavy duty (N=100mph). The up-the-tower weight is stated to be
250lbs, but may be slightly more.
My preference, for obvious reasons, is to sell it pickup-locally.
However, If you wish to use a freight carrier, I am good with a
prepaid shipment. I am located in Nicholasville, KY outside of
Lexington.

"Magnum 620 and the 3 element 340N: Several enterprising customers
added the "N"series elements to their existing Magnum 620/340
antenna, with excellent results. We took the hint and expanded the
design to accommodate the larger "N"series 40 meter elements. The
boom has been increased in diameter and extended out to 47', plus a
drop-in cradle mount. "
