I used sacrificial anodes made of Magnesium to protect my buried galvanized guy anchors. There was a good article in QST a while back on how to do this. I am not sure if it is in the QST archives but
I cut up short lengths of that cheap yellow rope that you get from Lowes and tied 4 pieces to the lower guy at regular intervals. I think that mule tape sprayed orange would work well too as it tends

and wall bracket the tower to the building...saves a lot of trouble with the supporting roof Mark N1UK _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________
If it was me I would wall bracket the tower to the solid building which would have pretty much the same effect as putting the tower on the roof but without al the weight of the tower on the roof. I w

I wanted to use HFTA with the terrain data but could never find anyone who knew how to make it work. I just went to the PVRC website and searched for WebEx but it came up with nothing. Do any instruc

I think that it would be pointless running the program on flat ground. No-one has ever been able to help me run the program with real data even though they offered to try, so I just had to guess when

How did they get your password ?? I recently had a credit card number stolen and they used it along with my e-mail address to open up a USPS account.. They didn't need my e-mail password to do that.
