I have used my Explorer 14 from Hygain for years. You will not find a beam for the price range better. I take on bigger beams and time and again at least equal them. All with 7.5 sq feet windload. On
Absolutely guy the roof tower but be aware that the stress on your roof will be incredible and the local building officials may not OK the project due to stress. I know of a similar tower put up acro
I love my Hygain DCU-1 Pathfinder Digital Rotator Controller but dont have the schematic! I need a schematic of the circuit board and not how to hook it up. I am willing to pay the copying and shippi
Many of the towers made today are designed to sway and you dont want to guy them such as the popular line of Universal Aluminum towers. The steel towers are built to be self supporting to a certain h
I think that he best bang for the buck for an antenna switch is the RCS-8V Ameritron 5 position switch which uses a control box on 110 and sends a low voltage current up a remote line to the switch p
We are turning a Explorer 14 with a boom length of 14 feet and longest element of 31 feet. We are the Twin City FM Club using a HDBX56.. Have been doing that for 10 years! I dont know where you got t

You can make a 30 rotatable dipole but suggest a used Cushcraft D-3W with 12/17/30 all on one element for $125-150? Boy does it work great! Worth the search and dollars! -Mike K0BUD _________________
ALL Ham M, Ham II, Ham III and Ham IV and Tailtwister rotor control boxes work on all Hygain Rotors. All of them are interchangeable! Yes! -Mike K0BUD Minneapolis ____________________________________
I smile at the responses you have received on your plans for the KT34A. I smile as I agree with most of them. The HD73 is the poorest of all rotors for amateur radio. Has one poor braking system. In

OK, you all have a good point,. But sometimes and I repeat sometimes hams will pay you what you ask for used equipment. But its those that insist on debating, bidding, driving you nuts over a few dol
I love the "temporary structures" idea! If that works I want to talk to you about a bridge I have been trying to sell Rick! Good luck Al. I hope it does work as nested. That's how a friend of ours go
If you need to keep the Cushcraft dipole that close to your beam you will find good results if you run it at a right angle to the beam,. That will work great. I did that for a few years with great re
The CDR 44 is a light weight rotor manufactured by the company that developed the Ham-M and sold it to HyGain. It has little braking and should not really be used with a strandard amateur radio HF be
Spi-Ro makes a sloper with traps that would probably fit your bill. Check them out at http://www._spiromfg@com_ (http://www.spiromfg@com) I have used their products for trapped slopers and they work
1.7 to 1? Nothing wrong with that! That's only slightly higher than I have and I have had the antenna on the air for 5 years and works great. -Mike K0BUD Minneapolis _________________________________
