I’m interested in your crank up tower and your three beams and was just wondering if I could set up a time to come and check out your setup and see if it would work at my QTH

I have a 10, 15, 20 meter beam in my garage that apparently belongs to the club.

I need to find someone else willing to store it for the club.

I also have a bunch of other ham radio stuff that will need a new home.

I'll start out with the 55' crank up tilt over antenna tower and 3 element 10, 15, 20 meter beam.? Do not have the tilt over attachment.? Would like to get $500.??

Thank you?

WA7YD?

Saturday would most likely be the best for me?

How long is tower section ? And diameter.?

Is a pole ?

Thanks for your time

I get off work at 4.? Will be home around 4:15.

Any evening will work for me.? Or the weekend is fine too.

I only have the one beam that is on the tower for sale.

The other beam is property of W7ED.?

There is an off center fed dipole on the tower.?

I also have a multi band Alfa Delta fan dipole.

I have a Diamond X50A on the very top of the tower.

It is a lattice tower.

Cranks down to 20 feet or so.

There are 2 club tri-band beams:?? A Cushcraft ... which has plates to hold the elements to the boom and a

Mosley which uses U bolts to attach the elements to the boom.? Both have been used in the past but, yes,

it's been a while (at W7NAV's I believe). Both have been serviced.? I replaced the traps on the Mosley some

years ago and it should be in near new condition. Personally, I think the Mosley is the better beam and is

easier to assemble.? I rebuilt the traps on the Cushcraft about 15 years ago. In the short run (a few years)

I'd like to keep both until we see if we will be running 2 club stations regularly at Field Day.? Or if we do, we decide to use

a beam for one station and (multi-band) dipoles at the other station. To use a 2nd beam requires (at east) a 30' mast

to start seeing meaningful gain and directionality.? If there is a choice I'd go with the Mosley.?? :-)

I believe I've mentioned there is an OCF multi-band dipole in the trailer and I have a 20/40 m dipole we've used

in the past, as well.

SOMEWHERE, there? is a 40m? mono-band beam that belongs to the club, but I don't know where it is.?? :-(

And, it hasn't been used in at least 25 years!?

My take on things.

Starting a new thread for discussion of the clubs beam.

I am storing a 3 element beam at my house that I have been told is property of the club.

I need to find a different place to store it.

I have never seen it used or even assembled in all the years I was active with the club.? So I don't know if the club wants to keep storing it or consider selling it.

Thank you,

Virus-free.

Wayd,

If you could bring the beam to Field Day that would be great!? We will have a swap meet during the Field Day.? I know there is a club member looking for a beam so depending on condition, there may be a buyer for the beam.? If you have any other radio related items--bring them and put the items out for sale.?

Wayd and club, re to that 2nd tower just mentioned,? I vaguely remember erecting a section of rg25 or something at Dale's.? I made up a set of 3 steel cables for that tower.? so I have those to go with the tower.
