That explains why the website is "Down for Maintenance" and was yesterday when I surfed there via the QST ad... Sorry to see this... ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G MONTAC Enterprises (318)
Yet another reason I choose to use N-connectors over UHF.... Always invest in the best tool available, take care of it, and never have to buy another one... ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G M
So are y'all saying that large diameter coax is just going to disappear from existence, or just the cheap ends. ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G MONTAC Enterprises (318) 518-1389 ____________
That would drive me nuts.... Just reading it makes my militant leanings flair up... :-( ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G _______________________________________________ ______________________
This is for the OP, Steve... I highly recommend a horizontal wire loop cut for 80 meters for a broadband one-wire solution. Use the proper feedline, feedpoint, "balun", etc. and you'll have a tunable
For your particular purpose, you might consider a polyester covered kevlar material of the minimum diameter required to carry your calculated load plus a little engineering buffer. Some folks use thi
This is the stuff I am recommending as well... ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G (318) 518-1389 _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________
Hey Jim.... Forget the GP-15... That's not why I started this thread... This particular 6m/2m/70cm triband vertical dipole is intended for MOSTLY repeater use on ALL THREE bands here locally.... Sep
Only 53 now, but looking forward, I know the day will come when I can't climb towers, et al. (Spouse wishes that was now) So, I am looking at the Tashjian Towers: LM-354HD 54 ft. manual crank up with
Like that idea, but looks like they don't have the curved arms for the Tahjian towers... just hoops. I like the idea of keeping the feed line off the ground... ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5
Thanks Chris! You just earned a book mark and an email inquiry! :-) ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G _______________________________________________ __________________________________________
Well, I came here to ASK question, but as I have been advised, I now know that: 1) There are videos and pictures that show the arch arms work to create PRE-loop starts in the feed. Pretty cool... NOT
KF7P, yes... Chris's stuff looks fantastic. Thanks for the tip. Yes, the Times part numbers ending in -DB for direct burial are UV resistant... NO cable stock that I am aware of is UV proof... :) 73,
Roger that, Chris. I'm guessing Davis and TMW are quite close in spec... I'll go give them a look.... I love me some TMW stuff though... Been using it for years commercially and it has NEVER let me d
Thank you sir... You and I will be talking... hopefully soon. :-) I'm pretty much sold on the arch arm concept... And I've watched enough videos now to see that properly done, there is zero to worry
Paul, saving this for later.... I'd like to chat via phone, et al. at some point to hear more about your experiences with this tower... Looks tailor made for me... 73, ______________________ Clay Aut
Thanks Jim... I will consider Davis as an option now... ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G MONTAC Enterprises (318) 518-1389 _______________________________________________ ____________________
Tashjian Towers owns ALL of Tri-Ex's old engineering designs and makes spare parts for many of the older things.... You might try them.... Look at the website... drawings, et al. avail. http://www.ta
Sir, as respectfully as I can.... IF you are going to ignore our repeated and unanimous? recommendations, then please do us the courtesy of NOT lecturing us about it. Or at least write the lecture be
There is a metric crap-tonne of reasons why one would be rated higher than others.... I shudder to consider compiling the list. ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5G ______________________________
