Back to the original subject.... If you live near any AM broadcast transmitters, (5 miles) I would not recommend a metal roof of any kind. When I lived near several, I would get mixing in my metal ra
I notice the holding bolt is steel. Do you think this had any effect on your measurements? I know that if you use this method on L-coil or the PI coil in a linear amplifier, the bolt heats considerab

Does anyone have a source for RG59 or RG6 flooded cable? Need some for my beverages. Thanks 73 Jim W7RY _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________
I would leave it alone. It's worked for years like that! If you did as suggested, the diameter of the tubes vs. the wire would come into play. It would not be a one-for-one exchange. 73 Jim W7RY ____

I've used them for work stuff. They make custom made cables (50 pin telephone amp cables) of any type you could imagine. Their service sucked but the finally made it right. Can't say on the quality o
That was already covered Steve. Simply put a rain shield around the mast to cover the bearing. (Which I did and it works flawlessly). As for the setscrew, simply install a stainless machine screw wit
Depends on what your talking about. How tall is the tower? Is it heavily loaded? Long boom antennas? What's on it? 73 Jim W7RY _______________________________________________ ________________________
Why do you feel the need to "take it apart"? Does it rotate the antenna? The brake on a Hy-Gain rotor is very loud. It's a large AC operated solenoid that pulls the brake wedge away from the braking
