Ditto that. Just about every fixture in this house is now stuffed with a compact fluorescent bulb. In the shack I've got a fixture with three 40W equivalent bulbs right over the radio, which sits thr

That is correct Jim. It also applies to "creative" electrical wiring, plumbing, house additions, etc.... I'm learning that it also applies to trees. We have a 70' pine tree in the front yard. We had
I think that's pretty standard boilerplate language since Hurricane Andrew. I don't know of a single homeowners insurance company who will continue to cover damage from a tree to the house once it's
I have to respectfully disagree. Cat5/5e/6 cable is made with very small diameter solid wire. Kinking of any sort can't be good and at higher network speeds does show up. For Roger, Cat6 is different

I think you'll be happier with a T-8 or 10. I've been going back and forth between the SteppIR and the T-10 for a few months now. I've decided I'm willing to give up a dB or two in forward gain and F

No way I'd use EMT. That stuff is designed to take NO load and be easily bent. I spent many an unfortunate hour of my youth on the business end of a conduit bender. Spend the money and get some 2" st
8 foot ground rod 8 feet out from the base. I have always heard twice the length of the rod, 16' in this case. Don't use braid. Get some 2" copper strap and use Cadweld one shots to weld the strap to
And this is why you don't attach copper anything, strap or wire, directly to a galvanized (zinc) surface. Clamp some stainless sheet to the leg then clamp your strap or wire to to the stainless. -- R
Steve, The thing that makes a self supporting tower self supporting is the big block of rebar reinforced concrete under it. Adding guys to a self supporting tower may actually make it fail because of
