If they made as many rotors as washing machines, the price would be a lot less expensive. Standardization in volume beats prices down in a hurry. Geoff, K6TFZ -- StripMime Report -- processed MIME pa
I am using RG-214. About 125 feet from shack to tower base with return loss of about 2.3 db when not connected. About 85 feet from tower base to relay box with return loss of about 2 db when not conn
I would like to know which antenna programs can figure the following: Three phased verticals in line. Also, if not generally known, from where are they available? Thanks for your help, Jeff, K6TFZ Li
One must get "prostrate cancer" by lying down. Prostate (without the "r") is the gland. Prostrate (with the "r") means to lay flat. An inquiring mind wants to know. List Sponsor: ChampionRadio.com -
What makes you think it is in the coax? I would take a close look at the relay in the amp that switches the line. Lower frequencies tend to get lost first in a slightly dirty relay contact. Good luck
The most clockwise position (northeast) is the same as off and operates straight through. That is why there is no noise in that position. No relay is activated. As for the noise: haven't had the prob
I had a similar problem with a T2X always close to one direction spot. Disassembled CAREFULLY. Turned out the ball bearings were dirty. Cleaned tracks (not really races), balls, and relubricated. Has

Two words: play dough Great idea, but . . . Most recipes for homemade play dough use salt. I would be concerned with the long term affects on the metal connectors. Would a strong rain tend to wash aw
Heck, I thought is might be a good idea and thought about it. Someone else suggested Silly Putty. The trouble with that is it "melts" when left alone for several minutes and would probably slide off
Would someone please let me know what the breaking strength is on the following size steel guy cables: 3/16", 1/4", and 5/16"? EHS Cable: 3/16 = 3990#, 1/4 - 6,000#, 5/16 = 11,200# Geoff, K6TFZ _____
Teenager invented a new refrigeration process which doesn't use Freon. It uses Peltier chips. GM gave up on it years ago. We can remember the old and keep samples in museums and we must move ahead. N
Unfortunately, here in litigious California where there are lots of immigrants on street corners as previously described. I know someone who used such a person who shortly became "injured" on the job
"You are right on there about lots of immigrants. I know of cases where they have been hired and then gotten injured, and it was harder on the illegal than the employer. The employer just fires them
"I've been thinking about buying the PSI100K for outside soldering jobs. Can these be refilled from standard butane containers or must one buy the Weller?" I have one which came with several tips. Ou
I am the original owner of a 30 year old 18AVQ but I can't find the manual. I have downloaded the instruction manual from MFJ/HyGain but several of the parts sizes for the longer tubes and the top se
It turns out the 18-AVQ is NOT the antenna it appears to be. The traps are all Hygain but two of the long tubes were far off in dimension from instructions. Looking around on the net, I found that Hu
What is the best way to block a crankup before climbing it? It would be down and almost nested except for top section so that the rotator can be serviced. Thank you. Geoff, K6TFZ ____________________
