I think I've seen Polyphaser equipment in the catalogs of HRO and AES, to name a few. 73, Stew K3ND __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Finance Tax Center - File online. File on
This is great news! This means that all my Rohn stuff is now "vintage" and is worth 2X or 3X what it was a few days earlier. Maybe someone should start a Rohn Boatanchor Net. I'm sure we need another
In pondering the loss of this fine gentlemen at such a young age, a few thoughts kept running through my mind. I never met Bill in person but did have some Email exchanges. I remember the first - he
I think there is a picture & discription of one in the most recent edition of ON4UN's LOWBAND DXING book. 73, Stew K3ND http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk ________________________
This method works very well. However, instead of bobby pins, I make a large U-shaped "staple" out of steel wire. I cut the wire into 6 inch lenghts and then bend them in half. I make a box of them up
The copper won't work at my QTH. The steel "staples" are strong enough to allow me to tap them in with a hammer if need be. This works great during dry conditions or when you encounter small rocks un
My 40-2CD works great on 17M but is a dog on 30M. Needed to go with a seperate 30M antenna. 73, Stew K3ND http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk __________________________________ Do
I noticed this on Ebay (Gladiator 80M vertical, Model TL-80M Mark II). Don't recall seeing any Gladiator antennas up for sale/auction previously. Note - this is NOT my listing, simply FYI... 73, Stew
Just the thing for that big 40M or 80M yagi... http://cgi6.ebay.com/aw-cgi/ebayISAPI.dll?MyeBayItemsSelling&testsmstatus=1&userid=radioguy99&pass=default&first=N&dayssince=7 73, Stew K3ND ___________
AS I recall, back in the late 60's or early 70's there were some pictures in QST showing a 4 element yagi that used air pressure/vacuum to extend or retract the element ends. Think it was built be a
Ran across this this morning - a brand new, never installed, Cushcraft 40-2CD. Don't see many of these... http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category=4672&item=3093978158&rd=1 73, Stew K3N
Yeah, sounds like the Hygain DB1015. The Boom was 10 or 12 ft long. It was a pretty good antenna... 73, Stew K3ND http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk ______________________________
While it may be superior, at HF you'll never know the difference. Which one do you want to try and install up on a 100 ft (or any) tower? I've done both and I'll take the PL259! 73, Stew K3ND snip __
I've had good luck with Amphenol. I usually never buy or use anything else. 73, Stew K3ND http://www.universal-radio.com/catalog/parts/4505.html http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk
Makes me wonder how the ground systems are installed on the microwave towers, and even the Forest Service fire towers. The ones I've seen all seem to be high on a very rocky ridge or mountain top. I'
Actually, an improved loading coil for the 40-2CD has been designed by VE6WZ. http://www.qsl.net/ve6wz/intro.htm 73, Stew K3ND -- "David L. Thompson" <thompson@mindspring.com> > snip snip ___________
Just the thing for the large 40M or 80M yagi project this summer! 73, Stew K3ND http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=3093223499 __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo!
Your right Bill. I just got a bunch of posts from 4/21 & 4/22. Weird... 73, Stew K3ND http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk http://lists.contesting.com/mailman/listinfo/towertalk ___
Hi Roger, How low is low? 10ft, 50ft, other? I'm thinking of trying one and wonder what worked best for you. 73, Stew K3ND ____________________________________________________________ _______________
I'm looking at the Autek VA1 which DOES give the sign of the X value. Any pros & cons of this unit? It looks smaller and easier to handle up on a tower. Don't think it needs 10 AA batteries either! 7
