Please take all necessary safety precautions when installing antennas!
Base station verticals installed in high wind areas must be well-guyed!
One year warranty on all new antennas we sell. Warranty will be void
when antennas are customer damaged, environmentally damaged or
otherwise damaged. It is the customer's responsibility to ensure
antenna screws are tight. Do not overtighten antenna screws.
We must drill out screws that are seized due to overtightening!
Don't apply glue to antennas! Heatshrinking ant. screws is OK!
Warranty does not apply to loosening of antennas or their
sections due to improper maintenance, care or installation.
Warranty will be void if products are customer damaged
or environmentally damaged or otherwise damaged.
Antenna warranty applies only to manfacturing faults.
Note; fibreglass antenna sections will be damaged if
clamps or U-bolts are fitted to those sections!
All prices are subject to change without notice
or obligation due to exchange rate variations.
Freighting or mailing antennas costs extra.

We highly recommend you insure purchased antennas against loss/damage sustained during transportation. Insurance costs 2% of the value of the antenna shipment. NO compensation will be paid if antennas are uninsured.
Please note that when antennas are commercially imported there are many, many, additional costs involved which directly affect the final selling price.

Please note that the selling price in Australia of a large and heavy HF yagi antenna may appear, at first glance, to be about 2.5~3 times its selling
price in the USA. However, that's only if one firstly totally disregards the
current exchange rate and simply assumes one AUD dollar = one USD and doesn't take into account the many costs of importing such an antenna!!

E.g. If a 40m 3-element yagi sells for, say US$1350 in the USA, then that
USA selling price is at least A$1900 based on the current exchange rate.
Adding sea freight charges of about A$400~A$500 (when included in a bulk shipment) or air charges (A$1,000 or more) from USA to Australia (40m
3-element yagi antennas weigh >100kg) plus duty and GST, import/export documentation, customs clearance, local freight charges, profit, warranty provisions, etc., means such antennas must sell for A$3,500~A$4000!
This example is a Hy-Gain Discoverer 40m 2-el. yagi + 40m director kit!

Mobile antennas will often NOT provide excellent results when installed in a base station situation due to their higher angle of radiation and lower gain!

Antennas overlooking Cusco, Peru, at about 3400m (11,150 ft.) a.s.l.
Notes; The air pressure is about 9 p.s.i (61,640 Pascals). There is about 63% of oygen present compared to oxygen at sea level. It can take around twice as long to recover from physical exertion at this altitude compared to sea level. Altitude sickness is likely. Lee didn't suffer from altitude sickness.

Insurance cover for goods in transit is available from us for only $2 per $100 value of goods. Please advise us if you require this option when ordering.

Please consider insurance because we are not responsible for loss of parcels or damage sustained by parcels - the carrier is responsible! We do pack well!

WE CAN PROVIDE INSURANCE COVER AT 2% OF VALUE OF ANTENNAS. NO COMPENSATION WILL BE PAID IF ANTENNAS ARE UNINSURED.

Please do NOT write <fragile> on anything you send to us as doing so greatly increases the risk of damage. Please try to "double-box" all items sent to us.

Customer-caused, environment-caused, installation-caused or nature-caused (etc.) damage to antennas (etc.) is not covered by any warranty, of course. Warranty cover is NOT related to insurance cover. We have solved ALL antenna issues in >41 years of outstanding amateur radio sales and service.

In fact, Lee has personally helped countless hundreds of amateurs resolve antenna issues and for amateurs to achieve the best possible results with their antenna systems. Lee was disappointed in a few very rare instances of amateurs refusing Lee's help, as he genuinely wanted to help. Remember, at Andrews Communications we want to help you to the maximum possible!!

Please note that many HF antennas (in particular) may require tuning, as their tuning is dependent upon many factors, such as height above ground, nearby metallic objects, etc. Most VHF/UHF base station antennas are already factory-pretuned and factory-sealed. Most VHF/UHF mobile antennas may require fine-tuning, depending upon the ground plane surface area over which they are mounted, etc.

A sales receipt copy must accompany each warranty claim.
