In my search for tower/antenna installation projects (with your help) I have come across many along with the videos I am studying about various installations. The larger ones all have one thing in co
I have guy wire and all that I need to attach it finally. Therefore, I am presently reading the Rohn Catalog on the section on guying. It shows how to guy a tower if it is a 40', but mine is not that
Anyone try one of these yet? http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=290269531547 I just tried making a home made gen pole today and it wont even raise my 35 lb three element tribander off

Hi Roger and all Thanks This one was a pot metal one, you can see the seam on the sides, so I guess I can be glad I had the idea of trying it on a little above ground level before going up with it. I
After seeing this I feel better already. Bob AD5VJ _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http
I am working on building a dipole for 80 meters. I have the wire, poles and rope needed to string it, but dont have the money right now to buy the Budwig PL-259 center connector for it. Any ideas wha
As I have been reading on the 80 meter dipole antennas I understand that you will not be able to cover the entire band due to the size of the band, so I will attempt to zero in on the DX portion of t
You guys have shared so much helpful information with me, I could never begin to repay you, but I wanted to share with you some information that I found in my search for information on my vertical ab
This is a most interesting thread. I am following it closely since I am using a full body harness for the first time and figuring it out along the way. I am attempting to work on my 30 foot Rohn 25 T
Thanks to all who have responded, here are some of the responses I have received along with my replies: My 17 year old son was on the ground level They have told me 'only one on the tower at a time'
Wow, that was weird, I just woke up and thought it was morning, hence the comment on the calm day. After checking propagation on 20 and 40 meters I just realized it is still night. Anyway, guess I wi

I remember this thing, had to turn off the rig numerous times as a result and find something else to do for a while till it went away. My question is - what kind of antenna is this? Yagi, vertical, l
Pictures dont do justice. So I am looking at this picture and am thinking that with the frequencies involved (as low as 5Mhz) these elements (one cage) being a dipole would be approx the same length
I made the first post (I think) I was wanting to make sure (since it seemed news at least to me) that it was real and that everyone was aware of it. I figured knowing Hams the way I do, they would no
These links are perfect for what I was looking for thanks very much, I had been looking at various sources, but not those listed, these are the ones. Bob AD5VJ _______________________________________
I am looking at getting an MFJ antenna analyzer and would like to ask the group (because I am sure there are many users of the analyzer here) three things: 1. Can you tune an antenna while it is not
I actually do both since the antennas are HF and some are VHF, but I have been putting them up in the air to adjust them, just thought if I got the analyzer I could save some time erecting them back
