Shoot -- Had a hot flash ... no... not THAT kind, the cool idea kind... ;-) Set up a stiff 35 foot (or so) Fiberglass flagpole - complete with flag. BUT also add an extra HALYARD for hoisting the fla

Easy for you to say... Some of us have the spirit, but lack the know how. And yet we are trying to be good ham operators all the while. I am up to building dipoles, installing my new vertical, solder
Tubes? What sort of store would I find these in. How large, what dimensions? Cannot picture them, but I am sure if I saw one I would say, "Oh yea...THOSE!" Are they the smaller ones like you would ke

OK Roger -- Let's say you could not do a tower.... Then what would be your budget antenna list? == Richards - K8JHR == == _______________________________________________ _____________________________
Thanks. There is a lot of buckshot in that one shell. Lots to ponder. == Richards - K8JHR == A lot !!! == _______________________________________________ _____________________________________________
Hi Lee -- I think it is a good question. While I dream of the BIG ONE... whatever that might become.... I daily wrestle to figure out what I can afford... and I can afford plenty, but STILL it is a v
I agree. Most city inspectors will want it built to rated specs as stated in the local code - when it is up. Even if you actually lower it during storm conditions, it will have to be built to code sp
Did you ask AN-Wireless what THEY recommend? IF SO WHAT DID THEY SAY?? Thanks. == K8JHR == == _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk
Holy Crap Batman ! That footage is better than the last one, because WE are up there with the workers... I about soiled my shorts when THEY looked down.... Ooooohhhhhh eeeee aaaahhhh..... Sheesh... n
I just did that to convey "emphasis" - not many ways to do that in text only mode. It's nothing personal I assure you. Sorry. Happy trails. == K8JHR == -- == _________________________________________
I would not connect it to the tower, itself. If the tower is connected to the ground rods, then I would just use radial wires laying on the ground. I would lay more ground wires if using just those.
Great - Glad to help -- You might try a few extra radials, also, as I believe that will bring the SWR down naturally. It does for my vertical monopole. Happy trails. == Richards - K8JHR == UNUN and =
ER... ah... um.... In my experience with a large vertical monopole antenna, adding more radials seems to bring SWR down. As for the correct answer in theory... I am not entirely sure. I based my advi
