  • Cushcraft A3WS 17/12 meter three element beam on the ground in excellent condition. Boom 14' and longest element 25' 1''. 8.0 dbi gain. Antenna was purchased new from HRO. I have worked over 200 countries on 12 and 17 meters with this antenna. I have installed a Spider beam that has these bands and no longer need the A3WS. It is still assembled and I do not wish to disassemble and ship. I will help with disassembly. It will go in a pickup or full size car. The A3WS manual is included. I am asking $300.00. DX engineering is currently advertising it in their 2022 catalog for $649.95. Antenna is located in Harrisburg, I can be reached at efortner@vnet.net. Earl Fortner, K4KAY

  • Ftdx5000mp $3,300.00
I purchased this radio approximately 2 years ago from DX Engineering. Due to less time to operate and with a daughter starting college I know my operating time will be even less. I am asking 3300 dollars shipped. I live in Goldsboro and I would gladly drive a couple of hours to deliver. This is a heavy radio that will cost a good amount to ship. It would be packed by the UPS store with the original box. Pictures available upon request.

  • Yaesu FT-991A radio and Go-Box (for emcomm, POTA, etc.) – Asking $1,235 (plus actual shipping costs, if applicable)
      Right up front, I’m selling this because I am moving and my living situation, unfortunately, won’t accommodate it. I’m selling this whole setup for 90% of what I originally paid for it just one year ago. The kit includes:
      • Yaesu FT-991A Radio
      • Two (2) Power Cables for the radio
      • All original radio paperwork, still in plastic protective
      • Original mic mount, still in plastic
      • Spare fuses, still in plastic
      • Apache 4800 Hard Case
      • Power Pole Distribution Block (6 Position)
      • In-Line Power Meter
      • 12 Volt socket and dual USB Charger (with Power Poles)
      • Power Pole extension cable
      For an additional $35, I’ll also add a 50’ run of coax and a USB-A to USB-B cable (for digital modes). You’ll just need a battery and an antenna and you’ll be on the air!

  • Hy-gain TH7DX 20/15/10 meter yagi. Antenna in need of a good home!
    This antenna is large, heavy and has a lot of wind surface area so it will require a substantial tower and rotor, and likely a crane to erect it. Because of size, local pick-up only. Condition is good – maybe 8 to 8/5 on ten scale. My understanding is that it was functioning well when taken out of service a month ago at the QTH of MARS club member Bill, W4EDN. Boom is 24 feet. Weight 75 lbs, wind surface area 9.4 sq. feet (without including rotor, cable, etc). Antenna is on the ground and partially disassembled, stored inside a shed in Union county, NC. My primary interest is to find someone who can use such a large antenna.. a new home where it will live happily after after. My secondary objective is to procure a smaller tri-band beam, such as a Cushcraft A3S, Mosley CL-33-M , etc. with closer to 5 or 6 sq. feet wind area. I also have a pair of eleven element 2 meter yagi antennas (Cushcraft A144-11 or clone I think), a 30 amp MFJ power supply and few other things to offer for sale or trade. Contact me for further information. I will also have a note at the bottom of my QRZ page if the availability of these items changes.

  • pic SPE Expert 1.3K-FA “EU” Model $3500.00. pic
     >SPE Expert 1.3K-FA “EU” Model $3500.00

    I am selling my 1.3K-FA ordered December, 2015 and picked up personally December, 2018 at the factory in Rome and brought back as carry-on luggage. This is the EU model so 3w in gives 940w out and 5w in gives 1.3K out (see picture). The amp has been faultless since new. There are no blemishes, scratches, or operational problems. The spare filter is still original and the SPE travel case is also in perfect condition. Comes with original cables and connectors plus I will add a K3 CAT cable if desired.
    Again this is the EU version. To safely operate the amp you will need a transceiver where you can set the max power out to 10w or less for every band. I have made thousands of trouble-free contacts including over 1000 FT8 contacts with the amp and it is rock solid. I can provide pictures of everything. $3500 local prefer no shipping.

Note: Back in the 90s, Roger, N4ZC, & I were trying to build a contest station on a budget. We did pretty well, all things considered. Part of that plan included me taking antennas & amplifers as payment for tower work. I certainly do not need to continue such action, which is why there are so many amps for sale here.
