My major purchase of radio stuff today

[rob love]

Here are some shots of some antenna kits. They have the old 19 set/C42 type copper antennas in them which is why I grabbed them. They also each some with a long tape measure, and some little reels of steel cable. I am guessing these were used with a sputnik type mast?

As well, some shots of the antennas I picked up from the fields. Still a few more out there...I am going to need more for all these AMUs. There were at leas a half dozen of the AMUs which were brand new. There are another 3 or 4 that still have the valcom paper tags on them.

Can anyone tell me what those short antenna "masts" are all about? I got about 5 of them. I think one will go on one of the corners of my 5/4 van box.

Much of this stuff will be available for sale or trade eventually. Way more here than I need. But for now it will get sorted and filed away in the shed.

Way more to be found out there. The really good stuff is always at the bottom/back of the pile.

You have the right friends, are in the right place, and have the right resources (ie knowledge and funds).

Good haul!

Nice haul Rob. I see a couple of interesting items.

put me down for antennas and antenna bases! Quick guess would be 8-10 units!

Should still leave you about a hundred!

I am short of antennas, having only found about 25 lowers and 15 upper elements. But there were about 30 or 35 of the AMUs, so we are good there. Hopefully I will make it out there again in the next few weeks and will scour the fields for more antenna tops.

Sounds like you are of the same taste as I am. I like the look of the antennas, but don't always want the room sucking trouble of the radios and all their cables.

Cg-1773 cable. 18 feet long. Cg_ 4722 amu power cable. 18 feet long and a. Cx-4655 power cable. I'm putting a an/Vrc 64 set into a Iltis. I'm a ex jimmy from 1 sigs in Calgary. The 4655 is hard to find and the others I got to short. Thanks for any help. Rob

I only got one tote of odd cables at this point, but I am pretty sure there will be a whole bunch more. I'll check what I have against your list and see.

Managed to get into the bin of cables tonight. I have 4 or 5 of the 4655 cables.

There were a couple more junction boxes hiding in the bottom of that bin. I'll try and get some shots in a day or two.

I would be interested in those tape measure and wire spool antennas in the top left corner of the thumbnails

Afraid someone else from the opposite direction to you has expressed interest in all 4 or 5 sets. Will advise if he changes his mind.
