Well here is a new wrinkle for the brain trust. I have a consisent problem with large sea birds ( OSPREYs ) sitting on the highest antenna on my tower at night. The tower is cranked down to roughly 3
The bird is not scared off by the motion of the roatating tower, the raising or lowering of the tower but only my shaking the cables which are running off the top from the antennas. The rotor brake a
Not a bad idea really...it certainly would be quiter than the suggestion about the 45cal. pistol. Heck, the tower might even grow a litle taller. Anyone know "wench" brand of fertilizer galvanized st
Sorry if this is the not exactly the right place to ask this but... I want to try an HF rig in my 2001 Chrysler 300M. I have a little ignition noise in it now sometimes heard on the vhf rig. I want t

The older HyGain antenna manual indicates on the back page: 6.25 sqft. - A very nice antenna by the way. The " 7 " just added another element for 10 meters as I recall. - Mike, K4CVL Anyone recall th
If you have the COMPLETE instructions / manual for the tower, there is a very good gin pole/erection fixture diagram in the back. They are in common use around the country I am sure. Some people I ha
