FOR SALE:

  • W6LVP Receive Loop.
    • Great receive loop. Excellent at nulling out noise from point sources. Here is a video that shows the 27dB null.
    • Also is a great diversity antenna. See demo compared to 43′ vertical on 80m. Great for more pleasant SSB reception on the low bands.
    • Full antenna info.
    • Comes with power supply for pre-amp. Selling because I got DXCC on 80m & don’t need extra antennas on the roof in my suburban location. Was on roof for one year.

Price: $190.00 CDN + shipping. Can quote shipping from Coquitlam, BC.

WANTED:

  • 10m rig, HTX-10, HTX-100. Casually seeking a 10m radio for a VHF project. Something like an HTX-10, HTX-100 or of that ilk please. Must have SSB. FM would be nice, esp. if it has offset capability, however that’s secondary. Would appreciate it coming from a non-smoking home. Desirous that it be yours or that you know its history, and that it not be (yet) modified or have had an encounter with a “Magic Screwdriver.” Willing to spend ~ $70. Please feel free to talk about that, however I’m not paying for good times someone has had using it, nor what it “once cost” — solely for a working radio in very good to good condition. Thanks.
