I did this and am glad I did! I tried that -- they no longer allow it per code here in Pasco County, FL. They have seen too many cracked slabs from lightning they say. I also made sure that by desig
Sounds like optimum conditions to climb and repair a Ham beam ... giggle! In New England it always seemed that it was 40-something degrees with an approaching storm or 100 degrees with the sound of
You might try the BAMA list for manuals of remote switches to see which is closest. I have the manual for my Heath SA-2040 if that is the one. Have ot run to church so won't have time to compare dime
I believe white lithium is preferred. It is used in marine and cold environments. Works really well on sliding doors in vans too! -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks

Check the metal used, it has in the past been very inferior for RF purposes. Wonder if copperweld could be more tightly coiled than usual for an application like this? Might have to be heated the fir
A while back we were discussing different designs of KW+ antenna tuners and I mentioned the massive construction homebrew antenna tuner I had acquired a few years ago. Several asked to see pictures a
Added one picture of the back and one closeup of the internal assembly detail. Got the real estate so will try to set up tuner-free antennas. A Heath remote antenna tuner and a homebrew shack tuner w
I acquired this large coil assembly about a year ago with a thought that it could be used as part of a tower loading project for 80 and/or 160M. Can interested list members have a look at the three p
Any idea where I might find some specs so I might determine if it is worth modifying for a Ham app? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A blessed New Year to all! Thanks! &
