I have an retired Hygain 402BA (2ele40m) on the ground that needs the linear loading wires/insulators and element tips replaced. As an alternative to rebuilding it for 40-meters, I have been thinking

Steve has some very good points here. I think the xyl gets the bad rap a lot of the time for her feelings. If your xyl makes these decisions for you, then you need to respect her answers. On the othe
Just bought a new MFJ-259B from WB0W, what a handy instrument! Now I have left surplus a MFJ-247 SWR Antenna Analyzer/LCD Counter with manual and schematics. This unit is similar to the MFJ-259 SWR A
Bill, I wish you would consider relaxing this stance somewhat to include antenna and tower _related_ items. After all, FS or WTB of antennas and towers only serves regional sales and not the entire l
Paul, I agree with Dick, WC1M, on the need for a clearing at least within the square. I put down 256 #16 enameled Cu radials total, directly on the ground and within the square it got pretty messy. I
Dick& Stan, My instinct tells me that Rohn's pier-pin base mounting method might be just the thing if a large wind-load or torque moment would make the tower suscepible to twisting (and, potentially
Fellow antenna builders, Last year I learned of the YagiStress ver 1.01 (YS) program after a conversation with Brian Beezley, K6STI. This program complimented all the theory and practice outlined in
Steve, I think your idea of a forum and repository for models is a great idea. Please consider including the little known Yagi Stress antenna modeling program (YS). This little jewell cost approximat

Scott, IMHO: Get your butt outside and get it up asap! Tonight, if you have to. The sooner the better. Try your best to outrun any beauracratic action and ask for forgiveness rather than permission.
Jack, There is a lot of wisdom in your last sentence. I think that Scott will feel the heat until his neighbor finds another fresh cause to rattle his sabre over :-) 73 Bill N4ALG and it attorney's S
Larry, While looking aroung for a manual for my R392 I came across this site: http://www.sarrio.com/ over 3000 vintage manuals, http://telalink.net/~badger/millist/ Military info They had lots of sur
Charlie, You are probably correct in assuming that the pull string is wrapped all around the existing cables. Pulling in a heavier pull-cord/cable/string, and then using it to pull in additional cabl
Jim/Kimo & other Eudora-users, I get really frustrated when I e-mail someone and find that the e-mail I sent them wrapped excessively. What I mean is that when every other line is a word or two wrapp
I would like to stack my 105BA on the same mast above my 204BA at the top of a 75ft Rohn-25 tower. Does anyone have a feel for the minimum distance between the two yagis to avoid/minimize interaction
Rod, I think you are absoulutely corect about the electrolyte imbalance causing cramps. I have a similar problem with cramps in the calf of my leg when doing strenous activities. I have also found th
Hello Everyone, I have completed the task of painting one of my towers while it is disassembled. This tower was disassembled and transported to our new qth and I decided to do something about the sur
