Help identify antenna/mast

[Buffalobwana]

I have a mast, but can’t figure out what it is or goes/went on.

Its about 7’ long, retracted. Has the necessary mounting hardware. I have seen similar masts on S-280 shelters, but this appears different.

Anyone have info on this?

Hmm. Pics didn’t upload.

Won’t upload more than two pics at a time.

 

[Buffalobwana]

And, two more pics!

That appears to be an AB-1386/B QEAM antenna. It has multiple uses and can be mounted on whatever the user needs (vehicle, shelter, trailer, tripod).

The items you have with it look like trailer mounts, I'll have to check in my photos to confirm that.

Cheers

Looks like at least this bit can mount on a Humvee also.

Cheers

Well done. I have looked and googled a lot of stuff. My google-fu is weak.

If you look closely, it looks like all the pieces are present in that picture.

The clamps that hold it are attached, even the Velcro clamp is there. (Close to the top).

If you decide you don't need it, there's a spot in my garage that I'll clean out just for this. I've been gathering antenna masts lately and one of those QEAM units is on my lists, though it's not as high up on it now that I found an AB-577. The AB-577 is not nearly as quick and convenient, but it sure is nice on its own!

Yeah, I might consider that. Was thinking of putting it on my S280, but, I’ll entertain an offer.

Your PM box is full, BTW.

Umm, ok.

I believe he was making an offer to me, stating that he had one for sale in the event that you weren't selling/you wanted too much for it. That said, all my recent antenna and mast acquisitions have been for next to nothing. As much as I'd like this, the cost of the unit + shipping from Texas to Indianapolis would likely be too much. (A total expense of $300 is about my limit for this...)

Maybe if someone from your area was going to the KAMO rally, we could coordinate a handoff?

Posting some pictures of some major missing components here...sending PM for details. Part number 4 and part number 22.

Wire Fox and I agree, Looks like 2 parts that were bolted to a HWMVV that are probably still attached!
