We had so many birds getting trapped in our chimney that we finally had to have a screen wire cap put on and a chimney sweep come in and clean the thing out, even though the fireplace has never been

Frank: I've got a T10 made by Chuck KA1PM the previous owner of Tennadyne 5 years ago and it has dual square booms. You might e-mail Roger, the current owner at tennadyne@tennadyne.com and he can pro
Patrick: In the mid-1960s they developed the master plan for 35,000+ acres of land for between Dallas and Fort Worth for D-FW International Airport when there was nothing but farmland and weeds out t
I recently bought a handful of the silver ones from Texas Towers in Plano TX when I was there and from HRO's Burbank CA store when my XYL and I were in LA on a short vacation. Both places seemed to h
You might want to write the collection agency a "cease and desist" letter (see sample below) no matter if you pay the shipping agency or not, otherwise after a few weeks the collection agency will st
Fellow amateurs: Back in the mid 1990s when the VK0IR Dxpedition was happening I did the t-shirts for them and sold them as a fund raiser for the DXpedition. ON4UN ordered a couple dozen of them for
Anthony: I used to have a Mosley Classic 33WARC beam, but sold it and bought a Tennadyne T10 log periodic. No comparison and I've never regretted getting the log periodic. I'm hearing things with the

When I bought my W51 crankup from Triex in 1993 they were sending the Fulton 1550 winch with it. The first one's brake pads deteriorated after a couple years and for other reasons I ended up buy anot
Dave: I've had one up for maybe two years and love it. Worked the VU4 with it and several other rare ones. Mine T-10 is nearly flat SWR on all bands. I had a Mosley Classic 33 WARC that I replaced wi

Bill: You might use the small Phillystran 12001 3/16" which is made for booms, etc. I used it as the center element support and element alignment on a Mosley Classic 33 WARC with the 40m kit for more

Bill: Mosley I believe sells a single element kit that works on 12 and 17 you bolt onto the boom behind the regular driven element and connect the two. I once had a Mosley Classic 33 WARC antenna and
