How about delivering to NH? I may be interested in these, what is the difference? Going to put some 25G up on the kitchen roof and bracket in 2 places to the attic. Carl _____________________________
I have a pair of Create RC5A-3's and a Daiwa MR-750 that failed almost 20 years ago and have been in boxes ever since. Since my current antenna requirements are no longer as insane as back then Id li
I moonlighted for about 25 years for a commercial tower installer and had plenty of opportunity to see failures due to overloading and trees falling on guy wires. Some commercial installations were a
A 60' hunk of 25G requires one set of guys at the 30' level for this exercise. Put competent people on each guy which can be rope at this point. Raise it vertical right on to the base plate. Now use
Well, Im 66 and still climb; including my 180' Rohn 45. Ive 4 towers on the property. The secret is to never stop climbing, dont smoke and keep in reasonable shape. Since I retired I walk 2-3 miles d
$45 is obviously a rip off for that relay. Since Ameritron makes a big deal about selling any individual part Id start there to get a more realistic resale price. To find the source go to your local
I dont care to be called an idiot and I demand an apology. Moderator please take note. My comment was directed at what appeared to be the same relay as used by Ameritron and if it was the same then $
The pier pin is hardened steel to the best of my knowledge. Hardware store threaded rod is Grade 3. The pin is the correct way to install a guyed tower and it makes the guys do the work and not gener
Well Jayboy I never called you a rip off artist, all I said in response to some one elses post is that a relay for an antenna switch similar to the Ameritron that costs $45 is a rip-off. Since I have
The VNA is simply a tool. As with any tool it requires that the user have an understanding of its abilities as well as his own. The DowKey is not a stripline design, it is a coaxial line section; bi
Id like to mount some 25G to a roof peak with two very different angles. Rather than cobble up something from scratch I wonder if there is an available product or specs on building one. The Rohn PR25
My question dealt with a peak roof mount, not a housebracket. I seem to remember mentioned on this forum several years ago an alternative to the Rohn mount that had a much wider range of adjustments.
I'll try again..... I seem to remember mentioned on this forum several years ago an alternative to the Rohn mount that had a much wider range of adjustments. Cant find it in a search tho. It's a PR25
You can always sink a steel I or H beam or even a telephone pole and attach the guy up at a higher level. I sold and installed a 150' 45G across the street for a neighbors commercial repeater site; h
The "classic" Dow Key 60 Series that has been around since 1952 is a coaxial line section. This was the one that most hams grew up with before the advent of xcvrs. I still have the one I bought in 19
Im planning on a tower mounted rotatable dish for the 3 bands above 2304 but it will be probably 40" tops. For 1296 and 2304 I use 4 55 el DEM loopers and they hear way better than some of the statio
Back around 1992 I tried a TH6 13' above a KLM 40M4 (same as the M2) and it was a poor performer. VSWR was fine but it just had no power in pileups. Thinking it may have had a problem I replaced it w
WHY isnt it safe to climb? If it is bad guys then installing a temporary set is an alternative. Ive taken down 25G the quick way by releasing the guys on one side. If the fall path is clear of obstru
If it MUST absolutely have a ground rod, which I dont understand why, then drilling is one option it seems. You can rent air or electric impact drills and extensions. You may want to treat the soil d
Several QTH's ago I had 80 & 40M verticals sharing the same radial field AND feed point with 1' seperation. Both worked quite well and had expected VSWR patterns. With a multiband 4BTV you may have t
