The original post for this thread never turned up here, but assuming this it the old two PL-259s and a barrell connector for a splice. I know this is different than every one else, but I've found the
Our local Lowes has always had the 3M variety in stock any time I've checked 73 Roger (K8RI). _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTal
You also have to beware of bins "sorted by customer"<:-)) Some one grabs something out of a bin and realizes it's not what they want and it just goes back into what ever is closest. 73 Roger 8RI ___
It's running close with 105 to 115 MBs being typical between any two computers. Running a KW on SSB doesn't seem to show up as affecting the speed on the network monitor. It's not. I'm using CAT5e w
Things are getting much faster in some areas. I have 5 computers plus 10 external HDs on the network for a total of over 7 Terabytes of network storage. Two of the computers are multi core state of
Up on the tower here in central Michigan (Midland) the temperature will vary from -20F to near 180F (wayyy to hot to handle without gloves) but that high temp is still with in limits. OTOH our low t
Under the proper conditions I would. It maybe the weakest link and it may not, but that does not necessiarily make it a problem, particularly in this case. The area of contact is quite large giving
As far back as I can remember (IIRC) I've used this two turn coil laying on top of the tower. I'm doing it with 5 runs of LMR 400 Ultraflex, (soon to be LMR 600 flex) and no problems in over 5 years
You said Steve, but responeded to my post so I'll answer. <:-)) About 18" (2 turns) ROHN 45G (about 18") It hasn't so far and that top plate is the typical galvanizing meaning it's fairly rough. Ther
Set the rotator and antennas to the mid rotation point.Tape the cables to the mast and create a sweeping curve out. Route the cables neatly in a two turn coil. Install retainers (I use 6" long bolts
You may find the design of these has changed a bit. The last ones I purchased had a grove for the element so the element fitted on top in the same manner as the insulator fits on the boom. Even thou
IIRC mine are 16' of 6" set through about 17,000# of concrete. The base has two 12 to 16" pieces of rerod welded across the base with two more at riht angles. This sets in 6 to 8" of crushed rock un
I look at it this way. Tower ungrounded, antennas on top tied directly to coax, coax goes into house, coax is the most conductive path to ground through the house or rig: To me it makes the house or
It's the angle that is important so the posts would be in closer but you can end up putting one whale of a bending moment (due to guy tension)on the pile of concrete the post sets in. Depending on t
There is big difference between commenting and complaining. Then there is the question of how high the rotator and how far from his/her house and what part of the house. Yes, "in my experience" the
That's the nice thing about CadWeld (TM). They are neat, easy, and clean. They are safe to store and safe to use when the directions are followed. I have on occasion brazed cable to ground rods, but
Welding copper is an interesting exercise due to the high thermal transfer as well as oxidation. It takes a lot of the right kind of flux. I don't know, but would guess the same flux used for brazin
It might help but with materials as different as copper and steel you really need to work with the sizes you will end up with. OTOH it sometimes helps to "work up" to the final project. <:-)) Wrappi
