Was it related to a claim for an insurance company?????.....saw it somewhere on Internet long time ago but can´t remember where. 73 Fernando EC1CT // KD0IGJ E-Mail: ec1ct@esbesaya.com KR DX Group ___
Wonder why don´t you upgrade and insert a good stainless steel screw with nuts instead those failing rivets. Optibeam is using this system and works fantastic in their antennas having a similar size
Ken, What have grown over the years are the antenna´s size and their wind loads...The TA33 has nothing in common with the actual trapless antennas Force 12, SteppIRs, Obtibeams....73 Fernando EC1CT /
At least, it works with vampires...been told.. _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http://
Hi Ken, That´s a great idea...Been suffering for that problem on my T2X (the other Ham IV holds the mast in place fine) for some years. I won´t pin the mast either but that seems to be a good solutio

Easiest way is it to put the antenna skywards against a tree or a non conductive support with the reflector 3 ft or so over the ground and make the adjustments at that position. 73 Fernando EC1CT //
Jack, If your tower guys are non conductive, you could try a full wave delta loop in a triangle configuration and feed at one side for vertical polarization. It would give you some gain, less noise a

Hi Herb, I´m owning the same antenna for the last 20 years or more on 10 meters. It´s an original LJ105CA (not MFJ) bought new and been using it extensively during all this years. I have a separate s

John and all, I´ve been using Mastrant ropes since 2007 in several sizes and for several purposes. I´m truly convinced to say it´s probably one of the best ropes available in the ham market. Not chea

How tall a mast do you need for the Sal-30? Chuck W5PR Hi Chuck, You can download the manual of the SAL from Array Solutions on pdf. Anyway, you would need a 33 ft tall NON CONDUCTIVE mast. It could

Krish and Gary, The white coating is just a special marine grade paint for fiberglass. We did the same manner as with the SteppIR elements that have been handling the UV radiation up there at 4000 ft

I am planning on putting up a 160M inv L. The horizontal leg will attach to asupport off the side of the tower about 80 feet high. I have a 40 meter 2 el yagi on the tower mast which will be about 6
Max, I have a standard tennamast for my 6 meters yagi (see pictures on qrz.com). I would go undoubtely for the braked winch and I think Tennamast have some offers on them. In case the replacement of
