To the locals first before I move to QTH.COM.
Selling off the existing 6 meter station....after 60 countries confirmed
and 475 grids without too much effort.

Cushcraft 6M3 3 el Yagi.  This is the one they made with a tee-match.
Easily handles1.5 KW.  Excellent pattern.  With manual.   IMHO this was the
best 3 el made (I'm a big fan of Tee-matches - balanced feed, adjustable to
1:1 SWR, takes full power+ without excuses).  Also, 3 foot aluminum mast to
go from rotor to Yagi.

Yaesu G-800DXA Rotor - as new with box(carton) and manual.  About 70 feet
of control cable.  It's been loafing swinging a 6 pound antenna.

1.1KW Amplifier (for 20 watts in).  WSB brick, High Power LP filter, TR
relay, switching circuit, 3KW power supply and quiet fans.  Bullet proof
1.1 KW.  Note, this has never been packaged to look good, but it works
great.  Runs on 240 VAC.

Max-Gain Systems MK8-HD 50 foot push up mast - their biggest/strongest.
With guy rings

The Yagi and rotor have only been outdoors 3 months a year for the past few
years.  Both are spray painted flat black for stealth.

Not sure what any of this is worth.  Please make an offer for any or all of
it while I do a little research.

Pickup in Woodstock or meet nearby.  It's all together at the moment - come
by for a demo or let's have a sked.  I am LOUD all over town on 6 meters.

73,
Hal, N4GG

[I feel compelled to add a note about this antenna plus this rotor on this
mast.  I have the mast extended to about 40 feet, then the rotor, then the
3 foot mast and then the yagi.  It is supported by a house bracket at
around 30 feet- that's the only support.  Our mutual good friend Alan Bond
chastises me every time we discuss this (Hi Alan!) - the mast is not
intended to carry this load, although the rotor and yagi don't weigh much -
it's more a wind load discussion.  All I can say is it has not failed in
multiple 6M summer seasons.  The rotor and yagi might be better on a
tower.  The mast is a great item for field days, wire antennas or pushing
your luck LOL]
