The 8 pins are both in/out connections. So you have enough connections for all 8 rotor or control wires. Tony N2TK I am looking at a photo of an ICE rotator line suppressor. Do these things have 8 in
Would like to add my 2 cents worth on this. I have been using LPS. I had bought many cans several years ago. Holds up well and covers well. Tried some Rustoleum this year - "It ain't the same stuff".
Put up a WARC7 last fall at 104'. It replaced a Cushcraft A3WS with the 30m add on kit. It resonated at the following using the factory dimensions: 25.130 17.800 9.770 The nearest antenna to it is a
Once I have the outer covering cut off, I tin the shield all around, lightly. I then use a tubing cutter to cut through the tinned shield. I finish cutting through the dielectric with a box cutter. T
I connect the Phyllistran to the EHS using a 502 insulator. I had the 502's since I replaced the EHS recently. Thought this would make an easy way to couple the two. I use guy grips to the Phyllistra
Shouldn't the guy grip go around something that maintains its radius? Doe sit matter? Tony N2TK Loop the big grip on the lower end of the philly through the big grip on the upper end of the ehs. Noth
With all the recent comments on grounding - solid vs. stranded wire, thought I might pose my setup to get some feedback. I have a 100' tower with 9 - 8' ground rods They are copper plated steel. They
Does ir make much difference if the ground rods are solid copper, copper plated steel, galvanized steel, or brass rods? Also, is brass okay to use for a ground clamp to a Rohn tower or does brass als
Got it. Tnx Tony http://www.advancedreceiver.com/index1.html Is AR2 still in business? Been trying to find a web site on their preamps. Tnx Tony N2TK _______________________________________________ T
I plan on using about a 2" wide strip of copper around my concrete pier. The pier is about 3' on a side with about 3" above ground. I will attach the copper strip to the sides of the pier. I have a 7
Looking for Rohn 45 tilt base. Anyone have one that is in good condition they would like to part with? This is for another tower at WP2Z. Tnx Tony N2TK
I have been trying to improve the Palomar P-310X preamp. My reference is an Ameco PCL-P nuvistor preamp. I have two Palomar's here to compare - one modified and one stock. Before the mods, the Ameco
I have been using 9913 for many years. This past year I checked all of my coax to see how it has fared over the years. I had originally measured the loss of the RG213, 9913 and hardline on 10m when I
You don't pull the shied through the 4 holes. You first tin the shield then install the PL-259. Then you solder the tinned shield through the 4 holes so that you have a good electrical connection. Wi
I believe there used to be a handbook that you could get form either the FCC or EIA that you could hand out to someone who was getting interference. In simple English it talked about the kinds of int

Why not do like Force 12 recommends for their 40m beam? Haul up the driven element and tune for resonance on 30m with a balun and coax attached. Then attach a balun and coax to the reflector and haul
