Rather than sell it for scrap, I am offering my former ATV repeater antenna 
to the first person that shows up and takes it home. You have to Feb 1.  It 
is a three bay antenna, each bay has a reflector spine and 8 diamond 
elements. It is rated at 14 dBd per bay  (thus 14 dBd omni horizontal gain if 
you mount all three at the same elevation and orient at 120 degrees or 90 
degrees each. It is a commercially made Lindsay antenna. It is one of their 
standard LPTV commercial designs. It is made for high tower locations (or 
buildings). It has 1 degree electrical beam tilt and 1 null fill element to 
increase close in signal level. Each bay is about 8 feet high and 2 feet 
wide.  There are three mounting brackets per bay.  The input is an UHF 
connector balun at the feed point. It is FLAT 420-450 and beyond. No 
significant VSWR at any ham frequency. 

With my new Andrew slot antennas on the AA9XW TV repeater, this is no longer 
needed. 

Email only.  No calls. Come and get it or its next years beer cans. (and I 
will make sure they are used for watered down rotten beer with your favorite 
label on it!)

No I will not ship. Will fit in pick up or large van,  not an Astro or other 
mini van. This is not some little chicken crap antenna. It will handle 1.5 kW 
CW power and never quit.

If you want a real antenna, not some Jap/Texas/New Hampshire/Mississippi toy 
plastic piece of crap, this is it.
