Single loop fractional wave antenna (formerly referred to as a magnetic loop antenna). This is a very rare item because they are built by an antenna expert who does not sell his creations to the general public. Please visit QRZ.com and lookup K8NDS to learn more about his antenna designs. You can also look up AG6LJ and see these antennas in service here in Santa Barbara. This antenna is a high Q, high gain, very low noise antenna that can achieve incredible results. It is only 36″ in diameter and only needs to be installed about 6 feet off the ground. Covers 15 to 40 meters and includes all items necessary to get it on the air. Hands on instruction is available locally to help you learn how to best use the antenna to make your station world class. Asking $2000. This is half the price that it cost to build. The original builder is going to do a full maintenance inspection and adjustment before delivering this to a new owner.

Sold – 10/29/2015 Two quadcopters, both of which are well made and in very good condition. The first, a Q450 was built for photography and has a 20 minute flight time. The second, a ZMR250 is a racing quadcopter that can travel in excess of 45 mph – it is equipped with a First Person View setup which live-streams video to goggles so the pilot can have a direct view of where the drone is going. The larger drone has been used to deploy a cross band repeater. From a few different tests, the repeater has worked very well when up in the sky. The smaller drone uses the 5.8ghz, ham radio band to live stream video back to the pilot. The seller is listing everything as a set and is not open to splitting the items up.
