WTT my HF beam for KX1, K1, Transverter

K4JQV
Greetings:
 
I have, in my garage and not being used, a Cushcraft MA5B mini HF beam. It is in fine working condition - great for light duty rotators or as a lightweight beam to take to field day.
I'd love to find someone near Lexington, KY who might be intererested in a trade. Depending on the KX1 (options) I could add cash to the deal. The beam is too big to ship.
 
I really want a  KX1, but would consider a K1, or even a 144mhz transverter for my K2.
Photos of the beam available.
 
Thanks;
Jacob K4JQV

KX1 = No 15 meter coverage (nor any band above 20 meters).  That's bad for the next
      few years of solar activity.

K1  = Excellent 15 meter coverage.  Excellent QRP band when open, as is now common.

The 17 meter band is also available officially.  The other high bands can be home-brewed.
But 15 meters is the best of them all.  

The K1 has a significantly better overall receiver (and transmitter) as added incentive.

Mike / KK5F
