Hello all. Just joined the list last week and searching through the archives for the last few months, I didn't see this subject covered so I though I'd ask about it. I'm planning on my first tower an

All the FAA centers have these antennas there. I worked at 8 different centers around the country during 07 and 08. I was told they are for MARS operation. The site in Memphis, TN has an club station

Thanks for all the help. I think the elevated anchor approach would not be feasible for me. Moving the point out while maintaining the required angle would work for. The whole installation is a work

If you are doing a 1/4' pipe thread (NPT), then your size is 1/4-18 NPT. Tap drill is 7/16(.4375). If you're doing a straight hole, then your thread size is either 1/4-20 or 1/4-28. Best way to check

Thanks to all who replied. A hacksaw will work but it might be to much work. Picked up an attachment for my drill and will do it with that. Hopefully, I'll be able to get this project done this year.
