Hi Everyone,

The Boca Raton ARA (BRARA) is selling a couple of pieces of equipment and I am forwarding to TARC and to FCG accordingly.  If you're interested in either the Palstar AT4K Manual Tuner or the Wilson SY-40 Triband Beam please contact BRARA director Barry KO4FBU directly at:  

bgsu...@att.net or call (954) 647-8597

If you know another ham that may be interested in either, please feel free to forward this email to them.

73,

Chris, NX4N

Up for grabs are two items that the club has decided to try and move
along locally to our club (and to our sister clubs here and Tampa) PRIOR
to being posted on QRZ.

1. Palstar AT4K Manual Tuner -- this beast will handle a full 2.5KW and
full legal limit on Digital modes!! We have tested (and briefly used)
this tuner on Station One with the 80M vertical and the 160M inverted L.
It works quite well!                                        Since we now
have the Auto Tuner built in with the KPA1500 it is"excess to our
needs". It is currently in production and retails at $1,395.00. This is
a "cash and carry" deal. We will be posting to QRZ in                  
                          a few weeks - so act now! If someone in Tampa
is interested we can make arrangements for a partial half way meet -- we
really don't want to ship this. **$700.00** (that's HALF off retail & NO
tax!!)

2. Wilson SY-40 Triband Beam Antenna- This is NOS (new old stock) and
still in the boxes (3)!! This antenna covers 10-15-20M and has 10
elements mounted on a 26' boom. As per the instructions it offers
approximately 10-12db gain.                                            
   The full instruction manual and all specs are on the BRARA web site
and can be easily found with a search for "wilson SY-40 antenna" on
Google. Again, we would certainly prefer NOT to ship!                  
                                   Equivalent tri-banders are selling
for between $1100 to $1400. We would love to see this on the air in a
new home! **$500.00**


That's all for now!! If anyone is interested please feel free to reach
out to any Club Officer or Board Member or just give me call at (954)
647-8597 !!!

Thanks and get on the air!! For the Boca Raton Amateur Radio Association
