Bad Deal with N5FF Saad Mahaini from Richardson TX . He answered a QTH wanted ad and offered to sell me a good working Hi-Q4/80RT antenna for 400.00. I sent him a USPS money order on December 8th for that amount. When I got the antenna in on December 13th the motor was locked up. The antenna was DOA. He will not refund my money and claims UPS damaged the antenna. On December 26th I shipped the antenna back to the Hi-Q factory for inspection and repair at my expense. Hi-Q reported that the motor was locked-up for some time because of excessive moisture inside the antenna and was not damaged by UPS. A new motor and return shipping cost me 160.00. According to Hi-Q the antenna I have was sold originally to Saad however he claimed he never received it and a insurance claim was filed with the USPS. Hi-Q sent him a 2nd antenna. I have furnished all this information to the United States Postal Inspectors. He got to me, don't let him get to you.
