Can someone tell me the value of a HyGain 400 Rotobrake rotor? I recently purchased one that was supposed to be complete but when I got it I found that the mast bottom plate (the flat plate that sits
Please excuse the question if this is no the place to ask. I recently acquired some various antenna pieces. 2 items like like elements from a beam but both look like they have a small rotor in them a
Hello Ken. It looks like you might be right! I did a google when you said Cliff Dweller by New-Tronic and January 1963 issue of 73 magazine popped up. I pulled it up and it is an ad on page 6. It onl
With Chris having his ground hog day sale I am trying to figure out what is the best toroid to use for baluns. I had seen some using the FT240-61 toroids but when I asked some about it I was told not
The airboss looks a lot like the W4SSY "Spudgun" that appeared in March 2009 QST. I built a variation from those plans. I used a manual valve (pvc valve) rather than the electric. I used a projectile

Does anyone on this list have a paper version of the Depot Maintenance Manual for a AB903 crank up mast? I think it is TM11-5985-263-15 but am not positive. It needs to include the foldout as well.
Hello Geo. Yes that is the correct manual and I have that PDF. Like I said, they (including this one) all seem to be monochrome scans of the manual so all the pictures are mostly just black blobs th
About 4 years ago I picked up 2 bottom sections of what I think were 11 meter ground planes. The section looks like the bottom section for a HyGain 18AVQ vertical or similar. The only difference is

This is just the mounting base that I used. Then I used some aluminum tubing I had (swaged so they fit into each other and clamped). This was not a complete CB antenna. As I said, it was just the
I wonder if anyone can tell me what the wire is called that were used in several military surplus wire antennas. It was like flexweave but was a bronze copper wire (I thought) and about #22awg or so.
