Since you asked: I do have some advice for you on the 160 kit to the HF2V. Use it for scrap aluminum.... I'm not expert enough to know if it can be used on a different stick of vertical, but as sold
In the process of moving 4 times in the past 2 years, I've managed to "temporarily" lose my instruction sheets for the HF-2V. I'd really appreciate it if someone had a set I could copy. Best would be
Gentlemen - Thanks for the OVERWHELMING response to my request. There are a lot of places in the world (usually the United States) filled with jerks, morons, etc., but TowerTalk is NOT one of them!!
Will, I've not done a C-31XR, but I recently finished both the C-4XL and WARC-7. Absolutely the easiest, most hassle free assemblies I've ever done! The rivet method is slick, the parts fit, everythi
Ditto here for very recent experience (tower received in early Sept). USTower's estimate was within a week of the actual ship date. HOWEVER, the trucking company called my home at 8:30 on a Friday mo
I'm looking for a chart, article, etc comparing rotor specs. Can anyone guide me to that sort of information? I'm interested in the "important" numbers, not advertising claims. Thanks. Steve, N3SL --
To add to RR's comments: The Ameritron box that uses the coax switches between 4 possible antennas. These are selected by no voltage, +12, -12, and 12vac. Not only does the PolyPhaser block the DC, i
We do what we feel we have to do and can afford to do. However, there truly is only one bottom line: LIGHTNING GOES WHERE IT WANTS, WHEN IT WANTS. Height of a structure and/or surrounding structures,
OK, experts: The basement is going in. I'm going to do the full peripheral ground system per the PolyPhaser books. Question (the answer to which I cannot find in the book): Should the ground wire be
Would appreciate input / opinions of those of you with experience. I've just come back from Dayton, where I had the chance to look, touch, and talk to all the antenna vendors. I am very much interest
Tim, First thing of note: The antenna is too low. I started right where you are, and had the exact same problems. I moved it up to 8' and still had SWRs the same things (cables, matching box, taking
We (finally) break ground on a new, convenant free, QTH in about 3 weeks. I have called and spoken with sales people at Polyphaser twice now to request info and a current catalogue so I can install t
I, too, will give you a totally subjective opinion. On the 3B6RF expedition, we set up a Titanex V160 for transmit/receive. We also had several Beverages (admittedly very near salt water, which is no
Eric, Obviously, you are absolutely correct, and I'm the idiot. I meant the pennant (flag configuration). We did NOT put up K9AY's loop. My apologies to all for the rather blatant brain fart. Steve I
Interesting. I've had my WARC-7 for about 4 years now and had an identical story, except it was/is 17m, 12m. I dealt with F12 by phone for weeks, changing numerous things, including my coax - and add
What an incredibly moronic remark to make.? If that's all you've got to do with your time, get another hobby. How come you did not plan this ahead of time? 30 feet is a waste of money anyway. _______
