I can't find the message now, but I'm sure that somebody mentioned driving additional ground rods for the radio equipment. BUT (if I have understood the code correctly) the NEC requires all these gro
I have read that the ground rods should be out from the eaves, presumably (my guess) because the ground there will stay moister. Alan NV8A On 01/17/05 11:38 am David Robbins K1TTT tossed the followin

Just today I was reading a suggestion (on the "Grounding versus Bonding" forum at http://www.mikeholt.com/cgi-bin/codeforum/ultimatebb.cgi -- but they don't want to talk to "mere mortals," only to "p
Probably for the same reason that US companies are, increasingly, run by people who have no real knowledge of the company's products or production processes. At the time of the Daimler/Chrysler merge
What voltage does the meter show "upstream," e.g., at the main breaker or at the breaker feeding this particular circuit? There could be a high-resistance connection somewhere -- and it could be eith
Al wiring is OK with the right fittings, isn't it? I see fittings in the stores marked for use with Al. IIRC, the service drop from the pole to the meter is still typically Al. Our wiring from the ma
Somewhere on line I found a Rohn tower calculator, from which I figured that I would have to use 65G for an unguyed 60ft. tower to hold my 3el. SteppIR (obviously bigger than a 13B2). I don't recall
Yesterday I saw a display of telescoping anodized Al flagpoles that I wondered about as possibly being suitable for use as a shunt-fed vertical antenna at home and for Field Day or other portable ope

My understanding is that the NEC calls for at least #14 hard-drawn copper (not the stuff you use for house wiring, and even thicker above a certain length that I can't recall) for antenna wires, so I
Is there such a thing as a hazer that would work on an AN Wireless tower? (or any other tapered tower, I suppose.) Alan NV8A _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer
I don't have a tower yet, but I have pretty much decided that an AN Wireless one is the way to go, despite the current free shipping offer on a Trylon, and even though I don't need the more comprehen
I used what I guess were TC600-UMC connectors about three years ago, but I don't recall what I paid for them. I just used a soldering iron I've had for years; I think it's 30W, but it has a "boost" b
I'm sure that's true, but without an HOA to encorce the CC&Rs, the objectors need deep pockets to bring suit. Further, in the absence of an HOA, there are probably numerous other long-standing infrin
The other factor, in my case, is that I know about the CC&Rs only because I insisted on seeing them before even making an offer. They were not made available even at the closing, so it may well be th
