We can always hope for KY or WV to become active, but I’m not going to hold my
breath. I think WV only has 3 hams and KY maybe 6. 😊

It would be great to get some station on 222 EME KY or WV. Most generous off
Dave.

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.
