Good morning to everyone. I hope that everyone is doing well. 

On that note I MAY be selling my AB-621 antenna masts
that I have. One is 100% complete and the other is 95% complete. The
one that is 95% complete does not have the long drive in anchors. There
are some short ones that are intended for rocky/hard soil that work
just fine. Those are the ones included with the mast that I bought from
Larry AF4HX. If you have seen this mast in operation at field day, VHF
contests etc, then you are familiar with it.

Both masts are in very good condition and have all the guys, top piece, launcher, winch etc included.
 

These
masts are quite a bit more robust than the AB-577 mast. The theory of operation is the same but the AB-621 uses
6" diameter tubes v/s 5" on the AB-577. The wind load capacity is far
superior as well. These masts were intended to hold a 3'-4' microwave
dish (150 lbs of weight) at 50' in 100 MPH winds so they will easily
handle a tri-band yagi etc.

I would like to keep these local to
the area hence my offer here first. I do not want these to
go outside the area because they are exceedingly rare and hard to find
much less 2 of them. I will split these up if you do not want both of
them. They are ideal for emergency field operations, field day, or use
around the house. They are versatile and can be moved by 2 to 3 men. I
have 1 complete manual that I can include with the complete unit. I can
also provide some help with how to install the mast if you need any
guidance.

Just let me know if anyone is interested, if you want
one or both, and we can get together on a price. I just want these to
stay local so I ask if you purchase these and do not want them later to
please sell them local again. 

The reason for the sell is I hope to take delivery of an AB-1309 tower trailer sometime in the
next few weeks thus eliminating my need for these masts anymore. One is
currently set up and in operation at my home QTH if you would desire to
see it in action. The AB-1309 is quite a neat unit you should check
them out on a Google search. I must go on the record ahead of time the AB-1309 will not be for sale upon arrival so don't ask hihi!

Thanks for looking/reading and best 73
