I've found (and others have agreed) that when on a tower that has one guy set installed (say at 31') and you are working on the second, yetuninstalled, set (say at 62') this oscillation is the worst.
Besides asking one's friendly neighborhood cable guy, where might one find (buy) connectors for 3/4inch CATV hardline? I need about 20. Thanks, Mike N2MG
Thanks for all the "do-it-yourself" connector info, however, I follow the chat here on TT and have already read (most of) the various descriptions of using PL-258s, etc. I am thinking to employ some
"Slip the double-barrel connector onto the hardline. The hardline center conductor is a nice snug fit in the connector." This is a common statement in the homebrew methods. My hardline (Trilogy Commu
That bracket sounds like a standard Rohn bracket. When installed (properly), it should nestle in the Z-braces and not have any room to slip down. Mike N2MG
Simple answer: Yes. Without seeing what you actually have done, I would guess that the guy bracket would continue to creep down the tower. Discussing torque arm assemblies vs. guy bracket assemblies
Look at the pic in the middle left side for the correct placement. http://www.rohnnet.com/rohnnet2001/catalog/pdfs/25G/25G-15.pdf Nice drawing, but what it doesn't show is the "bump" in the guy brack

I find it incredible that you could actually get the grips to wrap if you used the wrong mark when wrapping an insulator - would have taken quite an effort! What size insulator did you have...were th
<<Phyllistran runs around 45 cents a foot if I remember correctly.>> Maybe for the small (antenna trussing) stuff, but for putting up Rohn tower you need at least the 3/16" EHS equivalent which is ar
I say put up the beam!! Nothing wrong with hose clamps and electrical tape. Clean the joints (scotch brite - NOT steel wool) and maybe add NoAlOx, then new SS clamps and real electrical tape (3M 88)
In this case we are talking about putting 2 caps in series, so the total capacitance is halved (for identical caps). Mike N2MG ________________________________________________ PeoplePC: It's for peop
Not to be argumentative (who, me?) and not to take anything away from the Yaesu units, but IMO, your conclusion is in no small part due to the sheer number of T2Xs deployed and their relative age (as
It's possible they are different so that it would be obvious which holes should line up... IOW, to make it difficult for the installer to *accidentally* align the bottom hole of the upper section wit
I tried allowing the coax (RG-213) to "pass through" the standoffs on my W-67 (15 years ago), with limited success. I chose to tape the coax to the arms for purely technical reasons: 1) My standoffs
Does anyone make a bracket for sidemounting a "fixed" yagi to Rohn 25 or Rohn 45? I don't want any rotating devices; I'm picturing a simple plate with holes for U-bolts. Of course I can make this mys
<< I notice from the T2X schematic that the start cap is across pins 4 and 8 of the connectors. If I cut the rotor cable about 5 ft up from the base of the tower and put the start cap and weatherproo
Sure you could leave the cap in the control head and leave it wired up - if you have another cap. If you are going through all of this, it might be worth it to employ a another (new) cap rather than
Been there... they sell Rohn 55 stuff but no mention of Rohn 25 or 45. I've emailed them to see... Just to be clear, I don't need to tweak the antennas in azimuth at all - both of my towers were laye
Another reason to move the cap is so that one can use fewer wires. Depending on your choice of wire (I'll be using 12/2 romex with ground - so 3 wires all together) needing SIX wires as opposed to EI
