Wedge brake rotators do make a sound when the brake is actuated. I had a house bracketed tower ONCE. I could hear all manner of vibrations from the antennas. Yaesu rotators use a worm gear and not a
You are right or course. But they still have no noisy wedge brake. 73, Jay K0GU _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list
There was a 144-148-13LB as well as the LBA. Reviews on both are in the ARRL product review section available to members. The teflon coax is a 4:1 balun I believe. I have a smaller KLM dual driven 2m

If so an EBay search of "glass antenna insulators" will turn up a few. Likely at a dear price. 73, Jay K0GU _______________________________________________ __________________________________________

Hi all, Need some advice on an OR-2800DC that is about 12 years old. Over the years apparently the soft metal welded to the top plate, that attaches it to the hard steel output shaft, wallowed out cr
No the rotor was inside the tower, had a thrust bearing at the top and there was very little mast above the tower. It rotated a H-Frame with four 7el 6m yagis (~20 sq ft) for 10 years. Not a huge amo

I am interest in the current state of available ring rotors (RR) for Rohn 45. I will probably purchase one soon. It will only need to handle about 12 sq feet. But I am interested in the different opt
I have a Rohn 45G tower with one run each of 1/2" and 1 5/8" Heliax inside the tower plus a run of 3/4" CATV hardline. Another 45G with a run of 7/8" Heliax. It really goes in fairly easily. I rigged
This document is 12 years old but it's the only one I ever saw that details using cable clamps on PHILLYSTRAN. Use at your own risk. http://www.therfc.com/355.pdf I find it helpful to have something
If you only have one antenna I would go as high as possible if you have good coax. Perhaps tempering the height a bit to keep it away from from big HF antennas to some degree. In the summertime Es is
