I can kit one up for you. It will take about a week to put together before I can ship one to you. We accept only personal checks or postal money orders. Once your funds have cleared our bank we will ship the CTSVR to you. If you need references concerning our honesty I can provide you with these.
Shipping is additional which we recommend shipping via air freight in the US because it is cheaper and offers 2nd day door to door delivery in most areas. The cost varies from local to local and usually falls into the price range of $65-$85. Gorund transport is usually double this. The shipping package is 6"x6"x120" and weights 56lbs.
The CTSVR does not come with support guys or the radial system. You will have to secure these items from other vendors. We recommend phyllistrand guy material (approx. 354') rated at 700-800 lbs. Radials are required usually 40-50 make the CTSVR play extremely well. I use 34' radials on mine due to space limitations.
The CTSVR is not a cheap antenna to acquire or use, but it does out perform the competition significantly. It will take you several days to prepare the antenna site (radials and guys) and construct the CTSVR. Think of putting up several sticks of guyed tower. That's a good comparison to make.
I have pasted the CTSVR specs and price into the body of the email message. I can send you a CQ product evaluation and spec sheet if you like. I'll need your address to do so. Also what is your A/R call sign?
Just let me know how you want to proceed and thank you for your
interest
in the CTSVR. 73, Ed - N5NUG
THE CAPACITANCE TERMINATED SHORT VERTICAL RADIATOR
(Patent #5835067)
Multi-Band Operation (160-80-40 and 17 Meters)
Compact 31 ft. 1 in. Tall
Top Loaded ... No Traps
Automatic Band Selection
Heavy Duty Construction
Stainless Steel Hardware
Single 50 Ohm Feed Line
The CTSVR requires an area 25' by 25' in your lot or yard to achieve 160, 80, 40 and 17 meter operation. The ground system required is one 4' to 8' ground rod at the base of the antenna and a minimum of six radials 34' long. Excellent band width accomplished with proprietary easily tuned feed system. Tuning of operating frequency is easily accomplished from the ground for all bands of operation by trimming two tuning stubs and positioning of a tuning slug in the insulator assembly.
Inverted radiation pattern with the maximum current point 30' above ground level. This produces a highly efficient low loss radiator in a short structure twenty two degrees electrical length on 160 Meters. Lower noise figure as compared to other vertical designs due to unique elevated feed system, loop construction and efficient top loading design.
