I have been toting around the KLM-34A in the box (never opened) since 1986 waiting for that one day where space isn't a problem. Now the space is available, plans are to put it on a tower this coming
details pro/con on like new KT34A's that I tower, coax and StackMatch with the two bottom this? Thanks and 73's Sounds like it should work fb. Since the XA's driven els will be behind the 34As' by ab
of to I screwed that up. There is one less loop than the number of tower sections, so the formula should be: (extended tower height - nested tower height)/(number of tower sections minus one) Dave Ha
For CQWW CW we are planning to use an 80m ¼ wl sloper hanging from a tower (24m+3m mast) with 14MHz yagi with insulated elements (Cushcraft X7) on top. The sloper leaves the tower at about 20m
wedge. If it is a sticking brake wedge, you won't hear the usual "clank" noise when you stand at the bottom of the tower and the brake switch is depressed. You will just hear a fairly loud hum. This

Here's an easy procedure to make a good approximation of line loss, without disconnecting the coax up on the tower: 1. Connect an antenna analyzer to the feedline in the shack. 2. With the analyzer i

You have to be careful when you read those Force 12 gain figures. Take Force 12's "Net Gain," in dBd, and add 2.1 dB to calculate net gain over isotropic. Then, you can compare the gain directly with
-- But, those handbook designs have design constraints over the ENTIRE HAM BAND: F/R > 20dB SWR < 2:1 Steppir, since it changes its lengths as a function of frequency, can use a high performance, but
A little-recognized feature of the Steppir, compared to other multiband antennas, is that it tuned for only one band at a time, so it is less disturbing to other antennas in the vicinity. For example
