Sorry - I should have said "adhesive anchors". Unfortunately my backyard is like that too - a random mix of large and small boulders, everything from granite to slate-like shale, all brought here by
Thanks for all the replies - and I hope Les is getting as much useful information from my replies as I'm getting from his. I already had your site bookmarked, Joe. That must be the largest dental cro

Old cutting boards are also good for dipole center pieces, custom end insulators, gamma arm supports and many similar applications. In these islands we can't speak much about long-term effects of sun
From what I gather on and off the list(s), since I am only moving the Dayton drum switch about 25 feet away from the motor, I should be OK with the gauge (or slightly larger diameter) of multi-strand
I have had my switch located on the bottom section of theHDX-555 tower for many years in a weather proof enclosure. Same cable length as from the factory. I want tolocate it approximately 25 feet fur
Here in Scotland we're surrounded by mile upon mile of dry-stone walls, so I know the problem! Although no two walls are the same, my first choice would be to probe the gaps between the large stones
RG59/RG8X. Thanks for last night's QSO in CQWW RTTY, Jim (with GM3W). A small clarification while waiting for 20m to wake up... The dielectric of the coax which affects the choke resonance is only t
