Hi John, No plans to use anything other than PLP big grips on the philly. The saddle clamps happen to be on the 5/16" guy line that I got in this recent purchase... I was just saying to 'mate' the 2
how do they compare to McMaster Carr? An order placed today is here tomorrow - even if at 5:00 PM! And pricing is mostly reasonable... but it depends on what you're looking for. Very good pricing on
Hello, this is to those experts out there familiar with toroidal transformers. The common one used in boxes like the StackMatch is a 2.25:1 transformer. it is tri-filiar wound on a 2.4 core. So it pr
not to thread on your enthusiasm, and I'm sure you know this, but the reason why he (or anyone for that matter) is above the rest of the stations isn't the antenna - or at least its just a factor in
it is 2X monos and I want to be able to select all combo's including out of phase... besides - it SHOULD work! It too is dead simple - supposedly. thanks though. g. But there is a version of it ? sho
I had a 3 stack of C31's in Arizona and was able using a StackMatch to select any combo (no out of phase selection though)... I can tell you on 20 meters there was never a case where anything other t
no... I believe still not right - it is gxp-antennas.com and BOY! These are FANTASTIC antennas.... (being facetious here of course) ... its amazing how they can claim over 8 dbd ... not dbi ... dbd o

I use the 10M range data with HFTA exclusively! The 30 is far too long of a sample point. I'd prefer even smaller if available. I set up microdem at 5°increments and never have a problem getting the
Yes but to Shawn's point there is an arbitrary limit to the number of points allowed. I had a friend in CO ask me to do a plot for him using MicroDEM and the 10 meter points (1/3 arcsec) ... he had d
an exclusion is an exclusion I'd think - if it has a home on it would mean its excluded independent of whether or not its in an undeveloped area of the county. At least I hope that is correct. It sou
yes - I'm aware you can remove oversampled flat regions or shadow points as long as they're far enough away and/or they're far enough down from the previous high point to avoid removing defraction ef
Although rotor bolts can loosen over time generally if they're tightened properly initially they won't do so - at least that has been my experience. Tower bolts have no issues to speak of as the nuts
I can't stand the new dimpled nuts that Rohn has gone to on towers. I sent them back and found a place to get the older ones with standard nuts. I've never ever had a nut come off of a Rohn tower leg
interesting - when I was in Arizona I worked 10 European countries on 6 as well as ZL/VK/FK8, JA and others ... 7 elements at 50'. This was from about 2007 - 2012 ... not at my radio computer so I do
my experience has been that rotating only works for a while- they get use to it ... I've had literally hundreds of birds on antennas at one time ... never had any damage...but here in my new location
Also I'd suggest that you use HFTA with your terrain to see what is best for you. You might find that what is nominally high for others is far too high for you! I've stuck with the M2 recommendations
You misunderstand the recommendation - it is not to use it to determine stacking distances! It is used to determine optimum heights based on local terrain. So one has to first establish what is a goo
These values are what M2 recommends - I assume based on their modeling results AND they are based on my own EZNEC modeling results. They work well with side and back lobes and achieving a great - wel
Seymour, W6CCY does this ... or at least did at one time. He had 2 I believe 6 element 20's spaced horizontally on two different towers and played with phasing (line length) to get them to work toget
