Excuse me, but since when is it OK to post R-rated stuff (even a link) on this reflector? I'll pass on the personal insults. 73, Joe WD0M At 02:18 PM 2/22/2004, Joe Subich, K4IK wrote: He said it was

Isn't it interesting that AOL defends someone against receiving "...complaints from AOL's member base" when that individual sees nothing wrong with posting R-rated links on Tower talk? 73, Joe WD0< D
It does - thanks for the pity, but I don't need it. Save it for those young hams who click on the link and, as their parents walk into the room, suffer the consequences. This reflector isn't just for
Perhaps because someone, unthinkingly, provided it in the first place? Here's a novel suggestion - let's let the moderator determine if links to "R-rated" sites are permissible on his reflector. Stev
I sure love my SteppIR 4 element. Virtually a 1:1 SWR from 20 - 6 meters. SteppIR is supposedly coming out with a 30/40 capable yagi this year. You could always go for a single bander 40 M version in

I've talked to a few folks here in Colorado who use metal chimney sweep brushes to do the same thing on their towers. Attached to the top of the mast, the brush supposedly dissipates charges. I'm tol
On top of my US Tower TX-455 is a SteppIR 4 element - beyond the size limitations you are facing, so may I suggest a 3 element SteppIR, which covers 6 meters through 20 meters, all WARC bands, and pr

I've been using a Yaesu G-1000SDX for many years - bought it when I was in Alaska. While there, the temperatures hit - 40 F, we recorded 125 mph wind gusts, and had 20 feet of snow over a winter. I l

Wow! Quite the story - you did the right thing! I guess I should be happy that I had to anchor my tower base to bedrock, which was only 6 inches below surface, rather than risk encountering an archae
Interesting question, Doc. I was going to pose exactly that this morning, but you beat me to it. I have a single point ground panel (thick copper plate) populated with various ICE arrestors, and was
