This will be of interest to those owners (or prospective owners) of the Cushcraft XM-240 antenna: I am about to install a new Cushcraft XM-240 and was looking through the brochure at the dimensions l

I have an Orion 2800 mounted 8 feet down in the Rohn 25G tower at the junction of two sections. The standard AS25G rotor plate works very well there. As far as the section joint not being big enough
I had to remove a good deal of material in order to clear the "Z" braces. As I indicated in my previous posting, I would not want to depend on the modified rotor shelf to handle vertical loads. Worki
I ran my anchors through old junkyard tire rims. They don't have to be pretty or straight and when you explain that to the guy at the yard they will usually let you have three of them for being a nic
The company no longer makes the rotor and no one else bought the design from Alliance. The model is the Alliance HD-73. Last I heard was that Norm's rotor service was offering repair parts & service.

I generally wrap the connection with Scotch #33 (more flexible in cold temperatures) and coat with Scotchkote. Once the Scotchkote has dried, I then add a second layer of Scotch #33. It works for me
I have a 100 foot of Rohn 25G and a couple of monobanders for topload. I originally ran three, quarter slopers via a remote switch box. Rarely did I see any big difference when switching from one to
I have modified a rotor mounting plate to carry an additional thrust bearing just above the rotor. I have a thrust bearing mounted at the top of the tower that really carries the weight (vertical loa
CL was the "CLassic" feed system. It consisted of two pieces of coax with the braid removed, each piece inserted inside one half of the driven element. One piece of the coax was connected to the feed
I stand corrected Pete. I was referring to the Classic 33 (CL-33). Sorry for any confusion I may have caused. Gary Pete Smith <n4zr@contesting.com> on 06/02/98 10:26:17 AM Right, except that the C-36
You are referring to Scotch Brite. It is available in a number of grades of abrasiveness. Check your local major hardware outlet. I think you will find that it can be purchased in sheets as well as o
I have been using a top and bottom bearing with an OR-2800 for just under four years. I paid attention to the alignment to minimize runout but I also use the Force 12 PTA-1 (Peak Torque Adapter) that
Tis a modified feed system that is often used with a double bazooka. Think there was an article on this feed system in one of the Antenna Compendiums. The dipole itself doesn't exhibit any more bandw
If you have erected 25G using the "bury a section in the concrete" methodology and now wish to enlarge the loading capability by going to 55G, the pier pin is a GREAT way to utilize the existing conc

This is the Tower Talk reflector. Can we PLEASE bring our subject material back to Towers, Rotors, Antenna Mounting, Climbing Gear, etc.? All of the nonsense seen here in the past week or so has begu
