Ad Number:	1738006
Date Placed:	07/31/25
Name:	Chris Hook
Phone Number:	408 332 0124
Callsign:	K1FIE
Category:	ANTVHF
Heading:	2m VHF Folded Dipoles
Ad Message:	I was frustrated by how expensive ($400 and up) these little buggers are, so I went on a mission to find 4 folded dipoles (or exposed dipoles) for a stacked colinear array I’m working on. It’s a long story but I had to buy 17 of them, so I have 13 available that I’m going to sell off while they last at $149 plus shipping. These aren’t the cheap nonsense you get nowadays - they’re 100% aluminum with welded joints. I had a lot of fun trying my hand at beamforming, and was able to get over 11 dBi gain by stacking 4 of them vertically in the same direction. I can’t think of a better way to hide that much gain from your HOA (I have it hidden in a tree). They can also be stacked horizontally if you’re into SSB DX, and they have sub 2 SWR across the VHF band (136-174Mhz). $149 each plus shipping Venmo/Zelle. Bulk discounts available. 73 Chris K1FIE

Your Response to this Ad:

Due to the amount of non-ham scammers trying to respond to the ads, I am now asking a simple question that ham operators should easily be able to answer, but scammers may not know the answer: What is the number that hams use to represent the phrase "Best Regards"? This number is typically transmitted by hams at the end of a QSO.
Best Regards:
