Ken, 
Selling out???? Wish I could buy the Hy-Tower...excellent antenna for
someone who can afford it and has enough property to lay down enough
radials..
Neighbor of mine in Houston had one...and loved it!
And for those who made negative comments, I have seen Ken post on other mail
lists...he does NOT abuse the list or break the rules...From what I saw, he
is selling personal gear (maybe estate gear but that's still personal) which
is PERFECTLY OK AFAIK on this list...I, of course, could be wrong and LEAVE
THAT to the list owner/moderator to decide/handle it! (As a moderator of
12+ mail lists on Yahoo and QTH, I see this kind of thing happen a lot...and
remind my list members, hit your delete key and LET THE OWNER/MODERATOR
HANDLE IT!!! It's NOT your list!!! We are ALL visitors here....and if the
rules get broken, the list moderator will correct it...otherwise, get a grip
and move on)
BTW I have a 5 element tribander in storage...bought it while in
Houston...never got a chance to put it up..likely missing a few minor
pieces...and I am not sure the manufacturer..but I have no need for it but
have a need for cash right now....I am in SE Texas and if anyone is
interested in it, contact me direct (of course). I am looking for around
200ドル OBO but you have to pick up.

>>> For Sale:
>> HF Vertical Antennas, plus other antennas and related items
>> This HF Vertical antenna is located near Ocala, Florida, near
> I-75. It is disassembled, on the ground, ready for pickup,
> and reassembly at your QTH. Paper work is included, as are
> all parts, to the best of my knowledge. I was careful with
> disassembly, so it should be easy to reassemble. Due to its
> size, it is just not practical to ship.
> Other antennas and related items can be shipped, of course.
>>> HyGain HyTower HF Vertical Antenna:
>> The HyGain HyTower HF vertical covers 80, 40, 20, 15, and 10
> meters. The WARC bands (and 160 meters) can be added, but
> are not a part of this antenna at present. This is an extremely
> rugged antenna, consisting of about 30 feet of actual tower,
> with additional stubs for tuning. Total height is about 50 feet.
>> Automatic band selection is achieved through a unique stub
> decoupling system so that an electrical 1/4 wavelength (or
> odd multiple) exists on all bands. Unity gain on 20, 40, 80;
> 2 dB on 10/15 Meters.
>> This particular antenna is in good condition. As far as I know,
> all hardware is included. If putting it up myself, I would
> probably paint the tower sections, but there is very, very
> little surface rust.
>> Due to size, this is pick up only, near Ocala FL, close to I-75.
>> This antenna sells for about 1000ドル new. With paper work for 450ドル.
