Hi Will, From my personal experience, my inverted L works fairly well. I have a US Towers TX-455. At the top of the tower I put a "yardarm" out to the side that has a pulley on it to raise and lower

Hi Bill, My sympathies. I recently encountered a very similar problem with my Yaesu G-1000SDX. I had the same symptoms - everything lights up, the fuse is fine, my ICE rotor protector was fine, but n
Hi Bill, The answer to those problems for me: Cool Whip. Well, actually it's the container. I've had coax get caught up in the bolts from the thrust bearings, and that caused the coax connector to ri
My 4L SteppIR is at treetop level - on a 55 foot tower. I've worked 307 entities in about 4 years - SWR is flat across the bands, including 40, and 30M is about 1.5 or so to 1. A SteppIR will work wo
Sounds like a good idea as well, John. Lots of creative people on this forum! 73, Joe WDØM _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk ma
When I purchased our property here in CO, I included a contingency that if towers were not allowed, the sale would be void. I went to the HOA CC&R committee and got a written "OK" before we proceeded

I faced a similar problem - bedrock is just 6 inches under the soil on my 5 acres. The subsurface rock is sandstone. I put up a 55 foot UST TX-455 tower by placing about 4 feet of concrete on TOP of

I replaced the K1550 with the K2550 on my US Tower TX-455 - wasn't too difficult to do, and it makes it WAY easier to crank up and down. The bolt patter didn't match, so I made a simple adapter plate
Hi Craig, Check my web site for an idea: http://www.wd0m.com/ Click on "Ham Radio", then "Winch Adapter - 1/2 Inch Drill". I have NOT used this - just an idea I plan to pursue at some date --soon. Ho
For the record - I had a controller fail - Mike, K7IR, at SteppIR sent a replacement, no questions asked. I also had an EHU fail - again, Mike sent a replacement gratis. I've had nothing but exceptio
