I have a self supporting tower (AN Wireless) and apart from the fact that it tapers more sharply, it has a wider base than an equivalent guyed tower. The steel is also thicker, hence the additional c
I just checked the price for Adolph's meat tenderizer... 44 oz for 20 bucks, and 3.5 oz for 15 bucks... yow! anything cheaper? I can get peroxide for a lot less than that. Ryan, N2RJ ________________

Any antenna restrictions could pose a problem. The fact that they put TV antennas and satellite dishes sounds like a loophole. I'm sure they intended to exclude any "ugly" antennas. I would look else
Any chance of getting a fixed wireless ISP? That would be better than any satellite ISP. Satellite is better than dialup, but not by much. There is nothing you can do about the latency. That is purel
DBS systems (for TV) use frequencies around 12GHz. I think they are using higher freqs now with the new Ka birds for HD. Wildblue internet transmits 29.5 to 30 GHz, receives 19.7 to 20.2 GHz Ryan, N2
The frequencies I've specified are for the Earth station, not the bird itself. Ryan, N2RJ _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mai
The only catch would be that there could not be any commercial traffic, which rules out using your ham license for a high powered wifi backhaul for internet access. It won't be legal. Ryan, N2RJ -- R
A couple of issues would arise. Firstly, most websites contain advertising. Some websites that contain advertising contain inappropriate material for amateur radio use. I remember a case years ago wh
Yes. I believe that doing it without ham radio is legal... But I was specifically addressing the comment about high power using a ham license. Ryan, N2RJ -- Sent from my mobile device Ryan A. Jairam,
Here in New Jersey we dial 811 and they come out and put little flags. The electric, phone, cable, gas, water, sewer, storm drainage etc. are marked. Basically whoever put anything in the ground will
I've refrained from posting on this topic of divining rods since it is off topic but I think I must say one thing. There are some things that baffle even the highest of IQs. One example I believe is
Sure. That's an easy one. NO one knows for sure what makes divining rods "work" if they do at all. In other words, what do they measure? Are they affected by gravity, the Earth's magnetic field, or a
Pointed out to me by Steve, WB2WIK/6 is that the most stunning part is that this guy has 30lb of tools dangling on a rope attached to him as he climbs up. I mean it's bad enough that his own weight i

I've bought gear from Glen Martin and Grainger. Grainger is B2B only though, but that's not really a big deal... Ryan, N2RJ -- Ryan A. Jairam, _______________________________________________ ________
I don't know whose consensus it is, but that's not true if the system is used properly. Even if you did lose an eye, it's better than death or paralysis, but that's just IMHO of course. Ryan, N2RJ __
I don't think that rebar is easy to weld. I haven't seen many places where it is welded. It's just formed into th cage, tied together and concrete is poured. I don't believe it makes a significant di
The city has a website, which most likely has a link to the code book with ordinances. Even small 2 traffic light towns out in BFE have their ordinances online these days. I would go to the website f
