• Adventuresome or Just Getting Started? (A 15M MOXON rectangle "kit") Just starting the "DX Chase" and want a gain antenna? Read on. The "homebrew" 15m Moxon rectangle pictured served me well mounted atop a 26 foot tall "mast" comprised of guyed telescoping PVC tubing. The antenna was also a "participant" in several CDXA Field Day sessions. I just took it apart after nearly 20 years, but all the pieces are still intact, and I still have the EZNEC modeling sheets and receipts my for parts for your inspection. Boom-to-element and mast-to-boom components are from DX Engineering, so it will last forever. The parts alone cost over $250 and the rest of its value is captured in my "tender loving care" in making the tubing bends for the corners, slitting tubing for assembly, drilling holes, and fashioning a balun of coiled coax. You're welcome to come see it or to ask questions galore. Asking price $175.

• Hammarlund HQ 160 receiver and matching S100 speaker. One owner (probably 1964) and exceptionally clean inside and out. It powers up and has audio output - not tested with antenna but appears to be in "museum quality" condition. This is a 13 tube receiver which (per the donor,) sat in the living room of her SK uncle who was an avid SWL. Also included is an antique pair of headphones with no cord - marked Brandes Matched Tone, and a reprint of the HQ-160 manual. Prefer not to ship, but willing to meet within a reasonable distance of Charlotte. Proceeds to Mecklenburg Amateur Radio Society. Contact Andy w3dqs@w4bfb.org if interested. 300.00 obo!
