Just came up from a local ham here in Dahlonega.
A new and never put up M2 2m5WL, 2m SSB/CW antenna. about 14 dBd gain
with a 33 foot boom. This is an excellent 2m antenna.
I had one of these up at my old QTH for several years, just on a TV
rotator and it worked quite well. The Fourlanders used to use (way
back) FOUR of these on an H-frame and later went to just TWO stacked
vertically when we were contesting on the mountain. They are not really
a good portable antenna because of the size but will really do the job
at your home station where they won't be taken up and down often like we
did going portable for contesting.
Anyway, probably shop-worn from storage but perfectly useable. Many
folks use one of these antennas for moonrise/moonset WSJT EME without
elevation also. There are also many of these in multiple arrays that
the Big-Gun EME stations use. This antenna takes apart easily to three
10' or so sections for transport.
New price now is $439 and this one is available for only $100. A real
steal for a high-quality, high-gain single yagi for your 2m station.
Also available are a pair of commercial 900 MHz 13 element yagis. I
think these are rear mount and probably about 6' long. I can get better
details if needed. This is a real deal for some nice 900 MHz antennas.
$25 each. If someone wants to buy them both and stack them, I will give
you a brand new two-way power divider to go along with them. The PD was
donated to the Fourlanders and we just don't need it for our purposes.
Let me know if you are interested. The antennas can be picked up
locally or I could have them brought to my QTH for you if needed.
Thanks, Bob W4ZST
