Antenna, Yagi, 430-450 MHz 7.5 dB

I received this his note from N6KI: n6ki at sbcglobal dot net:

"Very well made black anodized with
excellent mounting hardware
( Not shown in Ad )

A ham friend showed me one of these he bought from same guy on EBAY

Bluewave Yagi 430-450 MHz 7.5 dB Microwave Antenna NEW

*EBAY Item number: **250166395902 *

They appear to bid for around $20 and he wrote me
that he has 20 in stock and I can bid on 1 then in shipping instructions
tell him how many I want and am now trying to get him to commit
to amortize the shipping cost as I don't want to pay $15 each for shipping !

For those of you who are not local in San Diego area,
At $35 each ( cost + ship ), they are still a great deal over what you
can buy commercially !

This sucker looks like it will take 100 mph winds and coating should
resist any corrosion for LONG time.

Comes with N connector

The welds where elements go thru boom are perfect

Right now, I am going to buy at least 4 of these from the seller and am
waiting to
get a shipping discount as normally he wants $15 each to ship

I bet he can pack em all in 1 big box and amortize shipping
