Scott, Same situation here with no problems, the only problem I have is getting in to his rear surround sound speakers on his 50 foot long speaker wire, but no problems with his dish or tv. Mike My n
I have had this tower up for 15 years with an A3S for 14 of them and Steppir 3 element for two years, it scares the heck out of me with just the one Steppir with 50 mph winds, so much so I wind it do
Not True, the MA-40 is designed as a free standing tower. The MA40 is designed to be bracketed to a structure, so you should keep that in mind. The MA40 probably does not have the structural strength
You are exactly right, but the comment was misleading as the tower is designed to be free standing using a 3x3x4 foot concrete base and does not have to be bracketed to a structure. I have one up for
I agree Bill, having had the dead fronds of a Palm tree touch the end of a Carolina Windom. The result was a complete Palm tree fire within 5 minutes of operating at 400 watts on 80 meters. It was sp

I read the reviews and thought this must be junk and then I realized that these idiots were trying to solder chips into a Play station 2:) Thanks, I will pick me one up Mike --Original Message-- Towe
It does when you use a blowtorch to warm it up first:) anyway I have ordered me one of those crimp tools that was a big topic on this reflector for so long. No more soldering 259's again. --Original
Hi, have you thought about the Big Steppir vertical, it will do all bands through 6 meters from 40 meters and 80 meters if you get the extra coil. Plus it will work the CW end of the bands plus phone
Dear Santa, Please make this the last CW vs. CB post I have to see!! --Original Message-- Maybe they will open up the CB band to hams and then the CBers can legally go back where they came from with
I know this is nothing to do with actual towers, but what is the best type or make of AB coax switch to use to switch one antenna between two radios. I am worried about RF damaging the RX transceiver
Thank you to everyone who responded to my request both online and offline, I appreciate the suggestions. All the best for the Holidays and New Year. Mike K6BR --Original Message-- I know this is noth
I would not worry about it, I have the MA-40 and have left the thing tilted over with a 40 pound steppir with 12 mast. There was never a problem, and with the long mast I am pushing the limits:) PS e

As one would expect as mono bander's are optimized for boom length element spacing and Steppir's are a compromise for element spacing on the boom. But, then again Steppir's have many other advantages
I measure 1" and 5/16 ID on my A3 Mike Anyone know the dimensions of the inside of the boom on a cushcraft A3S? I am looking to install wooden dowels into the ends to prevent the elements from turnin
I still think it is the length of the cable. Has anyone tried to measure current and voltage when under load e.g. when all four elements are being adjusted? I think there is a voltage drop, which is
I would be interested in what available as well as I have the same tower. Right now I use a Yaesu bearing with a bracket bolted to it. It works okay, but I would like to have something that would sup
You can get two types at Home Depot, or talk nicely to one of the truck drivers with a bucket on the back from your local cable company like I did:) The latter is free. Mike Where can Ground Rods be
