I just left another message and sent a fax too....I'll let you know if I get a response. Chris month? had would competition. service. _______________________________________________ _________________
UPDATE I got an email from Idiotm Press this morning, it was the answer to the email I sent 3 weeks ago before I actually ordered their product. I responded immediately and haven't heard back since.
Well, after sending more emails and more phone messages, none of which were returned, I finally got an email today from Idiom regarding two replacement parts I need, which were put in today's mail. I
I don't think so...but I would like to see that! Chris KF7P Are the Sommer antennas now manufactured by Tennadyne? 73 Don N8DE _______________________________________________ ________________________

This thread reminds me of this: http://www.businessballs.com/images/treeswing/tree_swing_70s.jpeg Enjoy! Chris KF7P The key is "project management" which applies even to putting up antennas. Normally
One other thing I haven't heard mentioned yet. Putting a 2k pound tower that is 22' long (nested) on a typical 16' or 18' car hauler flatbed trailer means you've got several feet of tower sticking ou
Wait....if they are being used as guys, then they are elevated radials and they will be TUNED radials. If they are on/in the ground, they are not tuned. I've played with this same set up and you adju
You can always order the tower with the manual winch (K2550) and replace the crank handle with a cog, chain, another cog, and a geared motor down the road. This is what one of my buddies uses and it
My tower winch is 12v, and I have a deep cycle battery mounted on the base of the tower with a trickle changer on it. I suppose a solar charger could be used to keep it 100% off the grid. Yes I know
I think it is a HyGain HG70HD. Can anyone confirm? Chris KF7P Folks, I saw this today doing a general searchIm in Missouri, too bad. http://orangecounty.craigslist.org/zip/2169920704.html Four sectio
It does have 4 sections, look again. Chris Looks like and old Tri-ex 55 foot, it has the Tri-ex bolt pattern bolted to the Tri-ex cut off rebar ears that have been welded to a T-plate similar to a US
What's with the all the people lately that require the buyer to take down the tower for them? I sure wouldn't want people I don't know doing that in my yard! Chris KF7P Rememberplease dont contact me
Keep the information on the list; I want to know more about this as well. A local here upgraded from a 50' to a 70' tower, and did this very thing. He used some kind of an epoxy to glue in the bolts.
I'd really like to see this test redone with "modern" antennas (hint). Take the top two from the old test and put them against a Steppir, a couple logs, and two others. Chris KF7P Well it does mine..
This idea is appealing; never seen one in person though. http://www.heightstowers.com/fold_over_kits.htm Chris KF7P You can install the guy wires at the top of the tower above the Hazer. Use a longer
I have been trying to get a hold of Mike, or anyone else there for that matter, for the past 8 months. No kidding. He wouldn't answer the phone, reply to emails, or faxes. Maybe he was in poor health
OK, this happened to a close friend of mine about 10 years ago. The names are withheld to protect the guilty. Or ignorant, in this case. :-) He had 53 feet of Rohn 45, house bracketed at 10'. He had
I should add that yes the house bracket pulled out. Chris Rohn 45 is only rated for a 1.4 sq ft load (unguyed) at 40' ;-) What happened to the house bracket? Ken On May 14, 2011, at 4:53 PM, EZ Rhino
Frankly I've never understood why a house bracket is either needed or a good idea. If the tower is guyed above the bracket, there is no reason to have it because it isn't adding anything to the syste
