*We* don’t want to repair it. I figure repairing it will be $600-800. New ones are $3000, so someone gets a deal if they pay ~$1000 as-is. So, we’ll sell it as-is and let someone else repair it. We’ll need those funds to help pay for the climber. The new antenna is $1100 and a special deal from DX Engineering. 73, Kim N5OP On Fri, Nov 17, 2017 at 09:28 Brewster, Keith A. <[log in to unmask]> wrote: > Any chance we can repair the ailing tunable yagi and sell it?
