Just bring your water hose out to the power pole to supply the current and then you can load up the guy wires on the power pole. When the voltage falls on it then you have a circuit! You can use that
Hi Guys, I have 4 stacks of HG105CA's and HG155CA's on the same tower at my QTH. The spacing is somewhat unconventional but optimized for my wildly variable terrain on rock ledge. My observations are
Hi John, My comments are interspersed below.... Yes, that is exactly what I was saying. However, I have ALSO noticed what you were saying, even though it seems quite opposite! I will be more specific
A similar "Pine Tree" is used on the Hutchinson River Parkway in White Plains, NY between exit 23 and 25 at the parkway gas station. It is at least 100' high - maybe 150'?. IT IS MASSIVE! and can be
Maybe this is the tower for the plastic owl to sit on while pointing True North? :-) 73 Bob KQ2M of PVC _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Suppor
Think geometry, think triangles.... For space restricted installations, with or without antennas on sidemounts or ring rotators, if you ELEVATE the guy points above ground, you DECREASE the angle of

Like many things, it depends on what you use for materials and how solid the structure is and how well anchored in the ground it is. sidemounts the point applied It has been a long time since I did
I am shocked and saddened by the passing of my friend Bill Fisher, W4AN, whose vision and financial support made this and other reflectors possible. That someone (KD4E) would choose to use this sad n
Hi Stan, While I understand your point, one must take responsibility for what DOES go out from one's computer. KD4E added the P.P.S. VERY recently, within days, if not hours before this post. He has
I agree that politics DO NOT belong on this reflector. Having said that, however, the BPL issue has NOW BECOME political precisely because the president has come out with an idiotic policy that suppo
Hi Dan, You DEFINITELY want to use more than one radial for your inverted L. I think you will see a meaningful improvement with 4 elevated radials, especially if they are 1/4 wavelength long (on 160)
Hi Chuck, Sounds VERY similar to the absurd service problems that I had with Amidon 3 years ago when I ordered from them. The language barrier certainly makes thing worse, but even allowing for that,
Hi Guys, I am planning some major antenna projects and am trying to determine the pros and cons of several options. One of them is to drape a 160 4-square off my tower at the 120' levelreally more li
Hi Guys, I want to thank W8JI, N6RK, W5VU and Jim Lux (callsign?) for their responses. Apparently this can be done but due to technical issues, is rather complex. Having the need to use 2 antennas on
Yeah, but hang them by what parts of their body? 73 Bob KQ2M _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations",
This is truly an ABSOLUTELY FABULOUS OBJECTIVE AND FACTUAL summary and refutation of the shamelessly negligent FCC, Bush Administration and BPL lobby statements and machinations. Their collective age
Hi Jim, grounded I am going to cast doubt on that conclusion. I do not doubt that people actually saw what they saw, but I SERIOUSLY doubt that the storms behaved differently BECAUSE the antenna syst

Yeah that was good! Then there is also that G.W. Bush classic statement that Trees cause air pollution! Another in a long-series of presidential "head-shakers". I won't bother to include any of his "
