I've read that concrete is conductive even after completely setting. Does anyone know what it's actual mho's or conductivity is? I'm sure it ranges based on composition but was just wondering about a
I am looking to buy used Heliax / hard line in the Charlotte, North Carolina area. 500 to 1000 feet. I remember someone selling it around here awhile ago. Drax. KB3X _________________________________
When I looked into crank ups it doubled the price to go from 90 to 120 ft That last 30 feet is mightily expensive compared to the benefit. Sent from my iPhone ________________________________________
I just received my base for a UST 589 and it came with 6 base bolts. You sure they're not going to send them? _______________________________________________ _________________________________________

If it's bracketed to the house then the house should already be on a stable foundation. Why the expense of a PE for a short 40 ft tower? Use a hazer or tilt base and crank the darn thing down when a
