I have had a similar setup for several years. A Force 12 C3 and an XM240. There is a little more than 10 feet separation. I found that there was some interaction (not like yours) so I turned the C3 9
I have the mixing problem and my tower is not a crank up. It is 120 feet of Rohn 25 with insulated guy wires. I notice it on 160, 80, and 40. I have no idea what is causing it. Bill W5VX Has anyone h
I would like to concur with what Larry said. I have a Cushcraft XM240 and it is a very good antenna. It is also light and sturdy. I had an experience with the 4 element KLM 40 and found it to work ab
I would be very leery of buying the Cushcraft EF 240. I bought one a few years ago and put it up on my 90 foot tower. I had lots of problems. It was VERY difficult to tune and I never got it to work
When I bought the Heath Cantenna back in the 70s, I decided it would be easier to go and get the mineral oil. I went to the pharmacy and got the oil and it was several bottles. The guy in the line be
When I put up my 120 feet of Rohn 25 I was a little leery about the grips. But my tower guy who puts up a lot bigger commercial towers than mine said that that is all they use and that I shouldn't ha
I helped a friend put up a 4 element 40 M KLM. I am sure that the 1 element is just the driven element of that antenna. We did not have any problems with the elements and there wasn't a truss necessa
I have had a Alpha-Delta "Delta 4C". It is about 20 years old and I don't think they even make it anymore but the make one that looks a little different with the same "guts". I have had 2 lightning s
Yes. I had a 4 element Kirk quad back in the 70s. It had blue fiber glass spreaders. I don't remember if they had a 2 element version but they probably did. I also had a 2 element helically wound fib
I had a lot of problems with the 155CA and the 105CA. This was some time ago but I bought them and stacked them at about 90 feet. Within a couple of months three element ends on the 155 were broken o
Interesting. I have had a 160 meter inverted vee apex at about 110 feet and a 2 element 40 M Cushcraft at 135 feet since 2001. I have never noticed any interaction. I do have some interaction with th
Bob, I have had two of the C3Es over the last 20 years. I found that using the measurements in the instructions worked out just fine with the exception of 15 because I have it stacked with a 40 meter
...or you could listen to the bands and see that 20CW was full of Europeans this morning and 15CW was busy with the FOC contest. Agree with buying LXC's book. Bill W5VX You might want to re-think ant
Steve, I have a LaCrosse wireless weather station and the gizmo that measures the wind is mounted at about 40 feet up on the tower, I have no interference of any kind. I use an Alpha 87A and the towe
I have had several Hygain antennas over the years (none recently) but something that I thought I would point out. The use of the worm clamps has been a problem for me on a couple of antennas (not nec
Actually you should read the manual that they put out and they will give you the proper guy points and anchor points for various types of towers. It is not 100 feet necessarily. For example. A Rohn 5

Wow that video looks tough. When I lived in San Antonio NE side, I put up a W-51 self-supporting tower. I hired a concrete contractor and he had a great big fellow come to my house early in the morni
I hope that the .io won't screw up my e-mails. I use Outlook and each e-mail I get is properly shuttled to the correct e-mail folder depending on who it is from. I had to have my grandson help me get
