I had a LM-470 and the rotor place just sit's in place. In fact I had 2 Rotor plates, 1 for the Rotor and another for another Thrust Bearing and they worked just fine. 73 De Mike VE3YF http://www.ve3
Hi: I have ran into a slight problem and need some help. I am re-using my tower base for a new tower and the bolts that I require are 1" x 27" and I have opted for the ASTM F1554 Grade 55, and to lea
Hi: I just happen to come across something this morning. I noticed a picture of a TX-455 having only 2 Bolt holes in each of the 3 leg ears. All the more recent versions of TX-455 have 3 Bolt Holes.
Hi: I have a chance to pickup some RG-149 brand new for almost free. The difference from the specs of RG-213 is that it is 52 Ohm, the rest of the specs that I can find are the same as RG-213. Howeve
I checked with the person who has the cable and he says it is 52ohm and I also checked the interenet and found that it is listsd on some websites as 52 ohm and other websites 75ohm. This is the rathe
Tnx Guys: I am going to have the current owner double and perhaps triple check with the old fashioned method. The more I listen hear and the internet, it has to be 75 ohm cable and not 52 ohm. The co
Grant: I like your idea... Tack weld the bolts together with #3 rebar when attached to the base so they don't move when set without the base to make concrete work easier. This is what I am planning t
Hi: I need to have a hole for my new tower 6' x 6' x 7.5' deep. Due to limited lot size that I live in, and mainly to keep peace in the family, I am looking at removing my old tower base 4' x 4' x 5'
George: As much as possible it will go in the same place. The lot I live in is full of undisturbed soil, so I will probably end up making it a bit larger than the 6' x 6' base. I don't have a large l
Hi Guys: A wealth of information here. I will be contacting Dexpan on Monday and will order 2 boxes of their product. I will still use the hired help to haul the blocks away for me. I looked at the p
Hi: Does anyone have an electronic copy manual for the above antenna. Tnx. 73 De Mike VE3YF http://www.ve3yf.com _______________________________________________ ______________________________________
Bob: Try uShip, it is on the internet. I had a 55' UST Crankup and accessories shipped from Los Angeles to my home here in Ontario for about $900 USD. It took about 3 weeks but with the same carrier,
Don: Have you tried lowering it as much as you can go and then take a section of the larger antenna boom off and just lay it on the ground. This will then allow you to tilt the tower over even more.
I have one of those 4 Ton Hydraulic Pumps and use a Low Profile Ram and that works great. The whole setup is cheap and the low profile ram fits under the leg just nicely. Could probably find the whol
Also depending on your tower, a 4' length of 2x4 under the leg and a fulcrum of 4x4 works great, this is what I use on my TX-455. 73 De Mike VE3YF http://www.ve3yf.com [http://www.ve3yf.com/] On 01-O
Mike: Any store that deals with farming fertilizers and feed should have it. That is what I did even in my rural location. 73 De Mike VE3YF http://www.ve3yf.com [http://www.ve3yf.com/] ______________
I think that will be gone very shortly. It is quite the deal. Even to get it shipped out of state via uShip method still makes it a very attractive deal. Too bad my postage size lot doesn't have room
I am using the Davis Vantage Pro 2 Wireless System. It hasn't failed since getting it back about 5 years ago. Prior to that I had the Davis Vantage Pro Wired and it lasted over 15 years before I reti
Clay I also got the new rain bucket, I don't have a problem with the birds sitting on the bucket so I never put in the spikes, when birds come for a rest, they like the 6m beam at 60' level. I also u
I forgot to mention, if you live in an area that gets freezing rain and or snow, get the heater option for the rain bucket. Pretty easy install, just have to run power up to the bucket. I keep the sw
