I'm about ready to start a tower project and need some advice. I have a 60 foot Jontz tower in good condition. I plan to put the first 5 feet into the hole with gravel at the bottom so it will drain.
I received some interesting messages on my previous post. Back when I took the tower down I slapped this web page up. http://wat.midco.net/kk0sd/tower/tower.htm Please look at the bolt picture near t
Wait until he finds your metal chimney -- It will rattle the whole house as he tries to impress the girls by being louder than the other woodpeckers. I think it is like teenage boys and their hatred

Work is progressing on my new satellite antenna set up. I have a couple of questions for the group. 1. What would be the effective wind area for a 2 foot by 3 foot grid (BBQ) dish? 2. I have a WIMO h
Barry, We have weather here in South Dakota too. Your local hardware store sells a "closed cell" pipe insulation that has a slot down one side to slip it over a pipe. It comes in various diameters. S
No, but I have purchased connectors from them -- will definitely go there first next time. Standard disclaimer applies. Joe kk0sd Should read I'm looking for hardline and found good prices at Surplus
Four feet is tough to deal with - my mower wouldn't fit through that :-) They are putting up surprisingly large poles around here using a Bobcat with attachments, but I still think it is wider than 4
Is someone making a 20/40 meter rotatable dipole? My father has a real nice Force 12 beam for 10 and 15 meters mounted at 50 feet on a hazer. He has no desire to replace the beam, but would like some

I've been happy with one of these http://www.pacificantenna.com/ It seems to work well. B & W used to make an antenna with a 'C' clamp on the base, I used it from the dorm with some success. 73, Joe

Paul, Running the coax out the middle is not that big of a deal. You don't need the ferrites, just do it at the right place. Many of us have used metal cross-booms for years, you just need to do it r
Just sight down the barrel, you may need to add a little for elevation. Fire a couple practice shots and you will find you can put it right where you want it. It isn't any more accurate than the bow,
I use a tennis ball launcher (air pressure) not a cannon. To be specific I use. http://tinyurl.com/a49bs2 Again, no more accurate than the bow, but probably safer. I used the sling shot before, but a
I have a few acres out back, and have never put anything up back there, for fear the horses would eat it, tear it up, or at least trample it. Does anyone have a simple, relatively easy way to "horse
My mystery tower was identified as a Jontz tower. I believe that?s what you have too. http://wat.midco.net/kk0sd/tower/tower.htm 73, Joe kk0sd http://www.flickr.com/photos/35729978@N04/?saved=1 Not v
