You must live in a different world. Most of the Ham community would be quite pleased with HF antennas allowed up to 95 ft. Bruce -- StripMime Report -- processed MIME parts -- multipart/alternative t
OJ, with your skill as a contest operator, one does not need the highest or most elaborate antenna. You could compete on a CB whip. Contest rules provide categories for MM, SO, HP, LP, QRP etc. If th
It is even easier to make an impedance measurement using a series resistor. I have used this technique for years. All you need is to be able to make a reasonably accurate SWR measurement. Then you ne
Hank, There is a draft engineering report in the form of a letter for GUYED towers that shows extensive data on collapsed towers. I obtained my copy from "Tower Tech," operated by Steve, K7LXC@aol.co
Right on! After my "go round" with the Zoning and Planning Board in our city, I obtained a set on the Board. I now have some influence on the board activity. The most important influence seems to be
I use 10 ft lengths of CU pipe ($5 each). I attach a garden hose to one end and clamp it, and hammer the other end partially closed so the water exits in a jet. Then stand the pipe up vertically and
We should ALL give AC6V a BIG well done for his web site. I have used it as a resource for years and it is always a tremendous help. It is the best!! Thanks again Rod. Bruce AA4Z

I forgot to mention, what ever material is used to triangulate, tape or chain. use equal lengths of the same material. Then, with near equal tension, and the same material, the errors due to temperat
There have been many threads about finding true north. Just divide the time between local sunrise and sunset in half (local noon). At that instant in the USA the shadow of your tower points due north
