Fred..Check out our V saddle clamps..they give you a bit more length. http://www.dxengineering.com/Parts.asp?ID=215&PLID=167&SecID=1&DeptID= 21&PartNo=DXE%2DCAVS%2D1P 73, John W8JJW DX Engineering --
Al. The X dimension reference is vague. The dimension the manual refers to as X is actually the distance from the top of the radials to the top of the base assembly. The manual shows that dimension a
Just to add my two cents.I had a 4 el monobander and a 3 el two band trapped beam on the same mast, the 3 el above the 4 el. at 60 ft. No noise under any situation. I replaced the 3 el with a T-7 LP,
Cablematic makes a cutter that works well. Replaceable blades, etc. http://www.dxengineering.com/Parts.asp?ID=902&PLID=112&SecID=54&DeptID =20&PartNo=DXE%2DUT8000%2DP 73 John ________________________
Thanks for the notes, Jim - it is for 80m. Sorry I didn't include that detail! 73, -Brian n8wrl Another concern should be physical separation from transmitting antennas. 1/2 wavelength at the lowest

I would use a good low loss RG-8 type coax like a 9913F or some of the DavisRF flex stuff. You can direct bury it and it is flexible enough to use right up to the antenna feed point, including the l
If the SWR or the resonance of the antenna changes with feedline changes, you have common-mode current on the feedline. Ground are important as well. 73 John _________________________________________
