The Rohn catalogue does indeed specify multiple guy points for their installations...the ones which are fairly high and ones in which there are high wind loading. It is for those reasons, and for one
I think I know the answer to this question before I answer it. My KLM 40 meter beam has decide to run a very high SWR. Since the antenna is located at 200 feet I had to go up and use my MFJ at the co
W9OL made some of the same points I did to Martin (in a private post) about disassembly of a tailtwister. There is one other thing that is easy to do when reassmbing any rotor that he didn't mention.
<< "There are only two kinds of people in this world. Those who have taken apart a T2X and seen the ballbearings bouncing all over the shop floor, and those who have never taken apart a T2X." >> I to

I have never used galvanized ground rods. I use 1/2 inch copper pipe. Recently I had some excavation done and one of the ten foot copper pipes was ripped up by a front end loader by mistake. After fi
<< A FULL SIZE 3L20 on a 24 ft boom MAY achieve 8-8.5 dBi gain. That is 6-6.5 dB over a dipole. And you believe the little A3 on a 14 ft boom might have the same gain in 20M? NO WAY. A FULL SIZE 3L20
I don't know K7LXC other than I met him in Dayton and bought one of his climbing harnesses...and of course, from his postings on this reflector. I don't see what the big deal is if he wants to promot

<< My bet is on the latter... this issue has been discussed way more than enough in public forums such as this that it is unlikely that the manufacturers and/or their US reps could not know about it.
I suggest a nice coating of lithium grease in the joint to help slide them together...as well as more importantly, taking them apart in the future. Also i suggest stainless steel bolts. The galvanize
I have enclosed a couple of goodies I found on the web about Rohn. By the way the stock is now trading at twelve cents a share, down 98 per cent in the last year or so. xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
I guess I am responsible for the political crap that has come forth as a result of my posting detail about Rohn having some difficult times right now. When I made my original posting on this topic, I

I recently bought some Rohn 55 which had been used for an AM broadcast tower. Across each joint a small weld had been made to make a good connection. It was the first time I had come across this in m
I think the maker of the MaxcComm needs to be introduced to the maker of the CB antennas that was mentioned on this site a year or two ago. Their claims are equally amazing. If it seems too good to b
