I need the driven element assembly for the 13LB. I don't think these are commercially available any longer. If anyone has a junker or parts they'd like to get rid of, let's talk. 73, Joe ____________
Has anyone ever motorized the tilt-over winch on an LM-470 or similar tower? If so, I'd be interested in knowing how you did it. I know a friend of mine once fabricated his own tilt tower that was pe
OK, al and Julio. Thanks for the input. I have recently reinstalled a late vintage LM-470 here and upgraded the tilt winch to a K2550. Al, did you place the three pulleys on the LM-470 in the general
I recollect that several months ago there were several posts referring to the availability of 500 ft. rolls of #14 wire from Home Depot (Lowes?). I was at Home Depot yesterday and they didn't know wh

I consistently measured 1-2 S-units difference between my 40M EDZ at about 45 feet in its favored direction vs a 40M vertical at 9 feet with four elevated radials. Comparing the two with EZNEC showed

Although I've never owned a a horizontal loop, the scuttlebutt I've heard over the years has been they're pretty good for DX on the low bands. They must have been high...I guess. 73, Joe RICHARD BOYD
Assuming the tower below is in good condition, is the price reasonable? Any caveats? "100 ft. of Trylon Titan heavy duty tower. This tower is on the ground. I have all guy wires, earth anchors, rotor
Rick, I'm not sure what you mean by directive, but there's no doubt that quads have poorer F/B than Yagis. Quads seem to have a very narrow frequency range over which the F/B peaks, but across the re
That's what I've done, and it seems to work. I would keep the wire distances about the normal separation, but I doubt that it's critical for most applications. 73, Joe vibroplex@mindspring.com wrote:
I have just read the section in Low Band DXing on delta loops and was giving consideration to putting up concentric loops for 30 and 40M and hanging them by one of the apices from my 70 foot tower. A
Tom, thanks for your reply. In all honesty when I read the article, it made sense to me because if one were trying to minimize the interaction between the delta and the tower, minimizing the RF curre
Mike, thanks to you and Tom, I now see what's happening here. Defining the arrangement as a parallel tuned circuit makes sense. BTW, I do plan on modeling the antennas before erecting them. I'll let
Tom, thanks again, and it's interesting you brought up the issue of the balun on the input of an unbalanced tuner. I have some comments about that, but I'm going out of town very early tomorrow (Ivan

Without going into a lot of detail, I wanted to share my evaluation of delta loops for 30 and 40M. For some reason, probably because the same formula (1005/f) is used to calculate the lengths of both
