K4KIO Hexbeam

Before I put my Steppir up at my home in CT, I had decided to install the K4KIO Hexbeam. At the least minute I changed my mind (and lost it when I got the invoice price). The K4KIO was on the way from Fedex, so I decided to keep it. Hey, you never know right? Well, it's still in the original cartons, unopened. This has all the optional bands 20m-6m. So, if you know someone who needs one, here it is. The current price for this antenna from the K4KIO website is $674, but, while they last, you can have one right here for $350. -Al K1LTJ

Club property: A Diamond F718 UHF antenna. This is the one that used to be on the tower at the Annex at 466 and Morse Blvd. It is
a high gain (11+ db) vertical that is 15' tall. It would be a perfect antenna for someone in the southern area of the Villages if you can find a way of making it "Villages Friendly" due to it's height. Make me an offer and I'll bring it before the board. Any reasonable offer will be considered because the Club can't use it. It'a about 3 years old and a really good antenna. John, NP2B 

Price Make offer.
