How To Modify A Military Antenna Base For CB Use (pics)

[CallMeColt]

Is there a need for Shakespeare Military antennas? I have a bunch of them, some NIB.

short UHF and the long VHF versions with bases.

If the price is right, maybe. I'd rather have something proper than modifying something. Message me with some details!

If they are the AT-1011 antennas I'm definitely interested!

I have a bunch of Shakespeare 4242-MK2 VHF and 4310 UHF. Some NIB and some used left over from a contract.

What are they worth?

Those are for pretty specific applications if I'm not mistaken, so I wouldn't know. I had a 4310 & when looking up the specs, it intended for data. The other is for VHF, but on the low end, for SINGARS. Both are fiberglass so can't be modified like this post shows. Curious if the 4310 would work okay with FM voice....

4310 is for 225 to 420 Mhz, 50Ohm, 60W with type N Female connector, It was used for UHF comms on USMC bands for ground to air in OIF 1 and OIF 2. These are leftovers from that contract.

4242-MK2 is VHF 30-88Mhz, 50 Ohm, 70W, with a BNC Female connector. These were used for ground to ground comms.

We were using PRC-113's on my end of the net which had UHF and VHF bands. I wasn't a marine, I was just there on a contract and they gave me a radio to test and to monitor that everything was working right.

The used ones still have Iraq moon dust on them.

got an actual count on these antennas

4242-MK3, qty 9 NIB, qty 5 used
4310, qty 4 NIB, qty 3 used
4265-A, qty 9 used, these are 116-174 Mhz, 50 Ohm, 60w, 42" long with BNC female connector. I forgot we had these.

Also found a box of mounting hardware and gaskets kits sealed in bags for these antennas

What you don't sell here, bring to the VA Rally over Labor Day weekend in Syria, VA (10 miles west of Madison, VA).

I’m interested in one 4265-A. I couldn’t DM you. Feel free to message me.

Antennas received. Perfect. Thanks
