Subject: Force 12 Antennas Liquidation

Thomas,

Force 12 is liquidating and relocating. We have a number of old ugly antennas to sell off fast and cheap in the next couple weeks. Can you post a listing to the club website?
Thanks for your help.

Begin Listing Text_______________

Force 12 Antennas is having a liquidation sale due to a change of ownership and cross country re-location.

The following antennas are for sale and need to be gone by mid January. Reasonable offers will be accepted.
Condition is AS IS. Drawings and manuals will be provided if available, but I only have them for some.

Lot of 2 small tribanders (the venerable C3S - 2 el each on 20, 15, 10, single coax feed to 20 m). Also there might be a couple vertical arrays mixed in. This lot went on the Heard Island DXpedition, and has a thin layer of penguin poo and salt. The hardware is all mixed up. Probably you could make at least one complete tribander from the bundle, and figure out your own tubing sections or hardware for the second if needed. Asking $450 for the whole thing.

Lot of 1 small tribander (C3S), this one is a prototype where the elements snap together with bungee cords. Barely used, and can be assembled for long term use, or would be great for field day. Asking $300.

Two antennas, 3 element Yagi on 6 m with a 10 m Moxon behind it. A single coax on 10 m inductively feeds 6 m. A great performer, but wrong part of the solar cycle. Asking $100 each.

A number of VHF Yagi antennas, various types, 6 m, 2 m, 222 MHz, 432 MHz. Some are short booms, some are longer booms.
Asking $50 for smaller VHF and $75 for larger VHF.

Also there is a lot of antenna building hardware - aluminum tubing, u bolts, stainless hardware, etc. For hardware fill a small box for $10 or a medium box for $20.

All must sell this month.
