Any antenna modelling gurus out there? Sunday I had my first opportunity to put up some aluminum. I installed a 30' pushup mast on a bluff that has significant drop off (150' vertical) of 45 degree s

Nice analysis, Dan. Another feature to think about: Wind load can be reduced during high wind conditions by switching to 6 meters. Does anyone know of an anemometer with an adjustable alarm setpoint

Got my QST yesterday. Full page ad on the 7-30.....wow, I'm drooling! The 120' tower is Rohn 55. I wonder if it could handle the 7-30 on top. I'm planning to double guy with star mount on top. We get
European Omnibeam home page depicts two 40M designs. Looks interesting. Is Jay (WX0B, Array Solutions) the NA distributor? What about high wind applications? _________________________________________
I asked the same question about 2 weeks ago. All I got is a few long range pictures and a lead for W9IIX at $275. I would very much appreciate an engineering drawing also, that would show how the sup
Somewhere in the NCJ archives you can search for my prototype "2 element W6RTT 40M Droopy"....no loading coils...about 5 bucks in cost. It worked great on top of a 54' Tristao crank-up tower. It was
Has anyone used chem-rod? http://theprotectionsource.com/CRods/crods.html I'm thinking of this approach for my docomposed granite mountaintop site. In listing types of soils, their calculations would
That's why I asked the question if anyone had used Chem Rod before. I am still interested in knowing of successful installations for my type of soil. The system uses hollow rods you drive down into t
I am going 120' with Rohn 55. I've lost the drawing from the Rohn book. Can anyone send me PDF or JPG file for this detail so I can get engineer sign off on it? ______________________________________
Check your ordinances. In my county you must keep the tower base at least as far away from your property line as the tower is tall. If a similar ordinance exists in your location you need 120', not 9

The LPDA I used on KH3 in 1990 had no maintenance for 30 years when I showed up. It was fixed to USA. Check results in 1990 ARRL DX contests and you can see how well it worked, still no further maint
Does anyone have a copy of the specs for guy anchors for Rohn 55, 120', 110 MPH rating? If so, can you send PDF or BMP file? _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer
I am looking for volunteers to assist in putting together a new multi-op station at my 10 acre QTH in exchange for sharing operating time in future contests. Elevation is 8300 feet overlooking the fr
Since we are on the subject of lightning, has anyone ever used "spider balls" to dissipate energy thereby eliminating strikes on the structure? These are a steel rod with over 200 fine spiked element
My thought was to attract lightning to the three foundations, not to avoid a strike. I thought that if I were to minimize the path to the tower itself it would help avoid a direct strike on the tower
Charlie - I have decided to pursue the installation as mentioned in my first e-mail, making sure all three anchors are connected with a copper grid, surrounding the tower. The comments pouring in are
