I used the HyGain mast clamps on my 40-2CD. Been up since Nov 1990 and NO slipping on the mast. Also use same clamps (though 2 pair)on my 5el20M 52ft boom yagi and NO slipping on mast . IMHO the HyGa
The C type connector has the added value of insulation around the female mating connector. When mated there is about .1 inches of teflon insulation between the center pins and the shield. This connec
I think the question about the GPS receivers was to help set up a 5 GHz backbone. Now the discussion has been the ability of a GPS receiver to assist in this effort. I would think that depending on t

A sharp mechanical sound is normal. Its the brake selenoid and brake engaging/disengaging. If your control box allows you will most likely hear it when you depress and release the brake switch. 73 de
Scott I know there is interest out her for a "GOOD" rotor. Some stil like to buildit themselves. After years I finally got a prop pitch up and going, my HyGain Model 400 ROTOBRAKE was getting a bit t
I have encountered bentonite in its "natural" state many times while 4X4ing in Utah's Canyon Lands area. When wet its so slippery that traction is near impossible. I have seen it in many colors tough
There are crimp tools, and there are crimp tools. The not-so-good inexpensive crimp tools depend on how strong you can squeeze to make a "good"?? crimp (try using one of these all day long). The best
I, like K1TTT, connect pull rope to the pulley as close to tram line as possible. Also prior to starting the tram pull I attach a "comealong" as high on mast as possible to allow me to take weight of
One consideration often forgotten in the dB arguement is the benefit on the RECEIVE side as well. I would rather have 100W into a 3el yagi than 1000W into a dipole in most cases. Then there is the an
I have heard mention that the latest dimensions are computer enhanced, yet they match the dimensions I have on a much older maual. Has anyone modeled this antenna (6el 6M) and if so is there much roo
Guess I need a bit of clarification on a point or two. I am thinking monoband yagi, not LPDA for my questions. 1. You state "the coax needs to be routed down the boom tied to the shield." I take this
I would like to contact someone who would be willing to model a few antennas in YO for me. I have an old antenna I want to rebuild but lost all info for element lengths. I know element spacing and di
Getting ready to install another 6M yagi here and building another for a friend. Want to use a choke on the feed line which will be either RG-213 (MIL-C-17 compliant) or on LMR-400UF (super flex). In
I agree with Hector, XER2K. It appears to be a TELREX TB4EC. Thisantenna is a 2el tribandeer 10/15/20M . Telrex catalog from 1988 has it listed but states boom is 8ft long. It is not pictured in the
