Folks- I had a mild heart attack September18. Thanks to my students, we have built back up an inventory. Periodically I will put our site on “vacationmode” if we run out of inventory. Thanksfor all the emails and support.
Thisantenna is complete with exception of the5 feet of ¾ inch Class 200 PVCpipe needed for the antenna. A photo is attach and shows what is in thepackage. Individual shipping of the 5 ftantenna is $14 so we rather you go to Lowe’s (stock # 23990) or Menard (SKU#6899684) and buy the PVC pipe for about $1.
