Congratulations to the K3LR crew for their first ever multi-multi first
place USA finish! Tim's crew really did a number into Japan on
40, 20 and 15 meters and into South America on 10 meters (those QSOs in
Spanish really paid off for K3LR!).
Many contesters have asked that I make the availability of AB-105
more widely known to the contest community on the rare occasions
when it becomes available. Please read beyond the next few
paragraphs if you find this notice objectionable.
I expect to have about 1000 feet of rare AB-105 and extremely rare
"Heavy Duty AB-105" tower for sale this Summer. Heavy Duty AB-105
is arguably the best guyed tower ever made for the serious contester
or DXer. Don't miss this opportunity to purchase Heavy Duty AB-105 tower,
in all likelyhood there will never be another chance!
Last summer I sold over 1000 ft of AB-105, and all of it was sold within
24 hours after it was advertised! I could have sold thousands of feet
more if I'd had it...
The AB-105 will be sold at the prevailing market price for new Rohn 45,
and the Heavy Duty AB-105 will be sold at the prevailing market price for
new Rohn 55 (They are much stronger than either!).
If you want some AB-105 or Heavy Duty AB-105 this Summer, please send me
an e-mail at: donovanf@erols.com
Please note my new e-mail address: donovanf@erols.com
