Free to good home - 4 homebrew 12 element dual polarization 222MHz band
LFAs.
Prefer giving them to someone with 222 multi-mode capability as these
antennas were designed and built for the weak signal and EME portion of the
band (222.1MHz). They have 13 ft booms and unless you have ladder racks on
you truck trailer some disassembly is required. Removing the vertical
elements these antennas can be stacked on top of each other for easy
transport. They can also be used horizontal polarization only by removing
the vertical elements.
Now pay attention !! I am only going to say this once. These antennas
require a 1:1 current choke on each feed. That's 8 chokes if both
polarizations are used. You are welcome to provide your own chokes or, I
have 8 current chokes that were built specifically for 1KW at 222MHz.
Material cost for these was $20 per choke. I will include the chokes with
the free antennas for $15 each choke. The chokes are not FREE. If you take
all 8 chokes, I'll knock another $20, for a total cost of $100 for the 8 of
them.

The antennas must be picked up in Farmville VA. No delivery or shipping is
available.
FYI - They work. I have 36 states confirmed on the 222 band using these
antennas.
Message me if you are interested.
