    I know this is a long shot but I'm looking for an Optibeam OB11-3 if anyone has one and  wishes to sell. They have a long wait time at Optibeam so I'm looking 2nd hand if possible?

    Thanks.

    Gordon, Our Club B.A.R.S. has listed an Optibeam 5 bands nine elements.on CDXC

    It was only 6months old but we had an accident on doing maintenance on the tower. the cable was wrongly assemble in the three sections so on its hoist it jammed and broke. causing the 3 section to come down one inside of the other. this rapid lowing made are brand new beam bend a couple of elements. So if you want a great antenna that can be easily fixed check out my listing,  73 Glyn GW0ANA

    p/s Thomas at Optibeam sells all spares so this could be a great buy for you.

    Hi Glyn and thanks for the reply.

    Believe it or not, an OB9-5 is my current antenna and it is terrific so that isn't an option for me.I want the small upgrade provided by the OB11-3. I would also swap my OB9-5 plus cash to any takers.
