Yaesu Atas 100 and 120

[1hardyanimal]

I have 5 of these antennas here in Michigan that I just got today. I have them posted on market place. If I shipped I'd have all of them sold today lol. Is their a reason why their not popular here in Michigan, or am I just not being patient. Are they used by people around here?

Read the reviews on eHam. Additionally, there is a newer 120A model. I would pay $25 for a working 120 model. I have the time to potentially fix when it fails.

Not sure about Michigan, but I did a lot of research on this particular antenna before I ponied up the $350+ for it. I am a new ham and this one will be my first HF antenna. Had a Yaesu FT-891 Ordered, however the Chinese Seller crawfished on Amazon, and has left me hanging for 2-months, so we'll see what happens.

Two of my favorite videos, from the same person, are the best video roll-ups of everything I've found on this particular antenna. Again all speculative from a new ham not having used it yet, but... It's sitting in the back seat of my truck...

I did watch his videos. Very informative and actually entertaining

$25...huh, I don't see anyplace on the internet where their not 10x that amount used. And I already have 5 of them, so I guess I don't even need to know where you'd find them.

They are available for testing. I took them in on trade and was told they do all work.

Yeah much better than some of the "informative" videos... Kind of a Billy Mayes feel... lol

I ran a 100 mobile with an ft-450 for years. Good performer. Also have the G/P kit that gets used at the beach.
