Sorry this is an antenna rather than tower question. (Is there maybe a better reflector?) Have been offered a 6el tribander apparently similar to a TH6 but made by Wilson. Any idea what it is properl
Just want to say a big thanks to all who sent me details on the antenna. Seems it's a Wilson System 36. I have a soft copy of the manual promised from a W5 which will hopefully be all I need. Thanks
I now have the paperwork for the Wilson SY36 6ele tribander. Several people asked for a copy if I managed to get one. The copy I got was on paper, I have scanned it as a series of 11 jpg files, each
Maybe I have to offer prizes. I recently took ownership of a box of bits, it seems to be a control box for an Emoto rotator. I have the motor unit and mast clamps as well. I would really like to find
Thanks to all for the help in trying to identify the mystery Emotator. I am still no closer to a specific model number but that doesn't matter too much. From information received so far it seems to b
Sorry I got the part numbers mixed up the PLL chip is actually a 74LS279 not 297, so it's a quad S-R latch, sort of makes a bit more sense. Not sure about the PROM yet though. 73 Martin, HS0ZED http:
The manual for the Wilson system 36 has been scanned and sent to K4XL's bama site. Currently it is the recent uploads section. Completely unrelated, I will be in Edmonton, Canada in about a weeks tim
I would like to disassemble my T2X to repaint the outer casing before installation. If I simply remove the 6 bolts holding the two casing parts together and separate them will the guts fall in a big
Have had two G800 SDX rotators, one in UK turning a 3el trapped tribander and one here turning a 2 el quad. Both have performed excellently and are quick. I particularly like the 450 degree rotation.
I am starting to think about towers having recently moved to a new QTH. After a little thought I am considering something about 70 to 80 feet, it will have to be self supporting given the available s
I have a Cushcraft R7 that I started to play around with yesterday. It's been through a few hands but is in good shape. I seem to remember problems getting it to behave previously but put that down m
I seem to recall seeing some long 'N' type female bulkhead adaptors in the past, about 5 or 6 inches long. Cannot identify where I saw them. Anybody know a source? Thanks Mrtin, G4UQF/HS0ZED
Hi, Is there a simple way to clean the accumulated dirt and corrosion from aluminium tubing? Most chemicals are available here off the shelf as litigation is an alien concept though I'd prefer someth
Thanks for all the responses on good ways to clean aluminium. Seems like good old fashioned steel wool is the favourite, along with lots of elbow grease of course. Now I just have to convince the xyl
Well, after I posted that the consensus seemed to be wire wool, up pop a hundred more posts suggesting Scotch-brite as a more suitable alternative. Must admit I think it might be a bit easier on the
Hi, The cleaning of antenna elements whilst unlikely to aid in their performance, unless accompanied by additional coating with DX grease, certainly looks nicer, at ground level, at thirty fifty, may
With all the recent talk about lighntning protection, probably regular here but then I'm quite the newbie, has anybody any data on how to make something that will detect and register a strike. I'm th
Some interesting points, I'd forgotten about the QST storm approach device, which would probably address half of the question. The other half seems at first to be a little more problematic. It seems
Here in Thailand most of the domestic electric supply is from two wires, line/phase and neutral. Our house is no exception. There is no ground brought on to the property from the electric company. At
I have a 'fairly' urgent issue with a G800SDX rotator. As many might know there are at least two different types of connector found on the motor unit. I have an early model with the handbook for same
