[SECC] FS - Shack clean out

[Hal Kennedy]

*N4GG – Shack Clean-out #1 – Sept, 2019*

*Bencher Paddle – BY-4 including the original box.  The BY-4 has gold parts
on a black base and is the best looking of the four Bencher types IMHO).
Gold on gold and gold on black Benchers are no longer made.  (A new BY-1 is
$175 and the BY-4 was always A LOT more).  $70.*



*With some regret – A new Begali Intrepid bug.  I bought this to re-live my
novice days along with the DX-20 and VF-1 listed bellow.  Read the eHam
reviews – likely the best bug ever made.  I bought it new at Dayton this
year – 2019.  Has about two hours of use.  Bought new for $500.  Sell for
$375.*



*Unified Microsystems XT-4 memory keyer, as new $35. (New $70).   (Great
little battery keyer for home or portable)*



*GAP Antennas, Quick Tilt Ground Mount – New in box, $45.   (New price:
$97.)*



*CWS Bytemark B-300 balun.  New, unused.  This is a >>1.5 KW 6:1 balun for
folded dipoles or 300 ohm transmission line matching.  I have 4 of these in
service, this was a spare I never needed.  (New: $75)  $35.*



*The Wireman 804 ladder line center and end insulator kit.  New in
package.  (This is the rest of what you need for a folded dipole.  Like the
balun above, I have 4 in service – they are great).  (New: $15)  $6.*



*Motorola 58C9860F01 50 ohm dummy load.  250 watts continuous, will take
much more power for short durations.  Commercial grade. DC to 1 GHz.
Typically $100 on eBay.  As new: $40.*



*Microwave Devices 634N dummy load.  Commercial grade, 150 watts continuous
DC to 3 GHz.  Will take much more power for short durations.  (Used price
on RF Parts: $140).  As new:  $50.*



*8 foot ground rod – ½ inch copper clad-steel, new.  $5.*



*Max-Gain round fiberglass tube.  8 ft x ¾ (2 pieces), 6 ft x ½ (2 pieces),
8 ft x ½ (5 pieces).  Plus some small pieces good for splicing.  I use this
for a 25 ft support for my K9AY loop, have used it for 6M Quad spreaders
and I used a lot of it for nested 10 & 15 meter full wave loops.  (New:
$83).  Some new, rest in good condx: $25.   *



*15 KV current limited neon sign transformers.  Jacobs ladders, spark gap
transmitters, fun, dangerous.  I have three.  Offer?*



*Lowes (and Home Depot) “Blue Hawk” “U” posts.  These are like the posts
that stop signs are placed on.  I use them for K9AY center pole supports
and places I need things off the ground.  1” x 4ft (2 pieces) and 2 ¼” X
7ft (one).  New: $15 (these things are a real bargain).  How about $5 for
all 3?*



*DX-20.  New caps, strong tubes, works great.  Meter face has a crack,
otherwise okay.  With some XTALS.  Free to a good home – see notes below.*



*VF-1 VFO to match the DX-20.  Original manual.  Free to a good home – see
notes below.*



*Notes:*



*Except for the Intrepid, prices on new items are half, or less than half
of what they sell for new.  The rest are below eBay, QTH.COM
<http://QTH.COM>, etc. prices… for club members.  Anything not taken goes
to those places next at higher prices.*



*PLEASE DO NOT FLIP any of this.  If you need it, want it, and/or plan to
use it – great.  If you are just going to resell it – PLEASE DON’T.*



*The DX-20 and VF-1:  I have about $100 in them; they are free to someone
who wants to put them on the air.  When you are done enjoying them – GIVE
them to someone else to enjoy.*



*Pick up in Woodstock or the next SEDXC meeting.*



*73,*
