I'm sorry, Jim. For both the failure of the system and for my hasty post. I hope it gets fixed. Bill--W4BSG _______________________________________________ ___________________________________________
Gene and Daniel-- Too bad Plano is so far from NE Alabama-- I have a moderate (several hundred canes) grove of Timber Bamboo that has to be thinned every spring. Bill--W4BSG _________________________
Hans-- This Bamboo is not a variety native to the US,it is Asian, and mine is up to 5" dia and 30 to 50 ft. It is called "Timber" Bamboo, and is used in structures. Bill--W4BSG -- Original Message --
Cort-- Use 3.28 ft/M-- using 3' is almost a 10% error. Bill--W4BSG _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@con
RogerCheck your computer-- When I hit it, the thing was slow, but it went to what appeared to be the correct site. Bill--W4BSG . _______________________________________________ ______________________
I think you missed their point. Even if you put up 30 ft, getting permission NOW for more is prudent. Not only does it provide for later changes, you can always tell your neighbor that you stopped sh
My wife and I put in 1650 ft of PVC Water Pipe in a week-end, ditching, gluing and all. I ditched and delivered, She glued, joined, and put it in the ditch. Fun Bill--W4BSG __________________________

That must be an OLD handbook. Can you give me the year, chapter and page where this old wives tale is? I'd like to find it in print, jut once. Bill--W4BSG ____________________________________________
Thank you Jan-- I thought it was at least that old. That opinion has been disproved many times, which is why the ARRL took the reference out. I have seen concrete explode, and it took a LOT of local
The owners manual says the bolts are 5/16-18, 1 5/8 long. The manual shows a diagram with some unthreaded length. Bill-W4BSG -- Original Message -- From: "w4lde" <w4lde@numail.org> To: <wc1m73@gmail.
I have two sub-set questions-- 1. It sounds like the larger, base tower already exists. If so, is the erection process going to be 'Top-down' rather than 'base-up'? 2. Maybe silly--but-- have you con

TonyIf the assembly includes a "thrust" bearing, particularly a TB type, check it before doing a lot of rotor work. The Aluminum race- steel ball type can go bad and give lots of peculiar noises. The
What Frequency range did the VK3JEG article cover? I agree with Jim. I have seen lots of data that cannot justify N's for LF, MF, or HF. Lots shows it's ??? at vhf, but probably justified at UHF. whe
Thanks much, Randy. It is as I thought, no HF data at all. The work seems to be fairly well done, but I will need to translate it to losses I am more concerned with, and look for pertinent HF data. B
During, or just after, a lightning strike, One of the Capacitors in the 5 sec delayer in my Rotor controller exploded (Really!) The delay unit was bought from Norm, before he left the Northeast, and
