I'll second the tape method. Over the winter I had an element tip bent on one of the 10m yagis. It was a size that I didn't have any extra of in my spares pile so instead of replacing it I pulled it
Hmmm, allied, Newark, and mouser all seem to have various sizes in stock... mouser's grid shows hundreds to thousands of various sizes in stock. David Robbins K1TTT e-mail: mailto:k1ttt@arrl.net web:

All the control cables here are gray jacketed cable and hold up just fine. David Robbins K1TTT e-mail: mailto:k1ttt@arrl.net web: http://wiki.k1ttt.net AR-Cluster node: telnet://k1ttt.net:7373 Greeti
On my first tower I put up two halogen car fog lights sideways. They make a nice flat beam over something like a 45 degree angle so mounting them sideways puts a nice fan of light up a tower. they ar
I have never seen one slip in the clamp ring. A bolt through would also work but that would put a weak point where there is the most force on the mast. A U-bolt above the bearing is probably a better

You might want to query the rfi reflector... also consider something close to you, even a neighbor's house, that might be picking up the primary, rectifying it, and modulating it with a 10khz switche
I had stacked 40-2cd's years ago. Both exhibited intermittent connections on the reflector coil connections resulting in fluctuating swr. I 'assume' the driven element didn't show that problem becaus
If it is just backwards it should continue past south counterclockwise back to north, have you tried that?? David Robbins K1TTT e-mail: mailto:k1ttt@arrl.net web: http://wiki.k1ttt.net AR-Cluster nod
Well, yes, kinda, maybe in a pinch.... all the boxes use the same 5 pins for motor power and indication, so yes, they can all be used if needed to power each other... HOWEVER, the 2700 and 2800 use t
HUH???? The g-800/1000/2700/2800SDX series going back to at least the 1980's were all dc drives David Robbins K1TTT e-mail: mailto:k1ttt@arrl.net web: http://wiki.k1ttt.net AR-Cluster node: telnet://
They must be referring to other companies old rotors, the previous generation of g800/1000/2700/2800sdx were all dc and the boxes should still be compatible with the dxa except for the plugs. David R
The proper thing to do is to add more antennas until you fill up all the ports! David Robbins K1TTT e-mail: mailto:k1ttt@arrl.net web: http://wiki.k1ttt.net AR-Cluster node: telnet://k1ttt.net:7373 H
Raymond, the original post was about a 6 port switch.... it sounds like you are talking about a 4-square box where you only have 2 of the 4 verticals connected. If that is the case it is much differe
Ok, the supported 2 vertical configuration won't work in your case as it is designed to have a 1/4 wave spacing between the verticals... it also calls for 50 ohm phasing lines instead of the normal 7
Anyone know who makes the 6 pin connectors that TIC uses for the rotor connection?? Any part numbers?? _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________
Hook the pulley to the tower as far above your head as you can, run the rope to the ground over your shoulder, and the other end under your foot... this way you can use your leg to push down to lift
Agreed, the Davis stuff is great... I have been using a wired version of the Vantage Pro 2 which only required a couple ferrites to keep it operating in the middle of my m/m high power contest statio
Don't know of any official engineered way to handle different height guy anchors. For mine where that was an issue I just calculated how far out it would be to keep the same angle at the tower to eac
