221. Re: [TowerTalk] Yaesu G-2800 rotor pricing question (score: 1)

I own 2 of these and they work wonderfully. And have owned Yaesu rotors for years - all models. My personal opinions: The controllers should be sold separately on ebay/swap forums. They should fetch

With 17ft of mast exposed, how much is in the tower? I have always been one to have close to half of the mast "in" the tower. I have a 21 ft .025 inch wall mast and 8 ft of it is in the tower - so 13

In my view, the discussion on OWA yagis is about the element count and the boom length. People will describe that they have a 5 el or 6 el yagi. However, an OWA yagi has 2 elements that are really cl

Rich. Cant comment on the STEPPIR. However the performance degradation of the yagi as you discuss at the band edges should be unaffected by the OWA feed. Its more a function of the element spacing de

Insurance is all about definitions and exclusions. If your town considers ham radio towers - auxiliary structures - like many do, then your insurance should cover it to the extent it covers auxiliary

I always align the tower face to allow a 2 leg boom connection towards EU for fixed yagis on the tower. To the south or West I build up a connection to the non-cooperating leg with some brackets, to

Dave, What wasn't described on this original thread is that you have 150ft of 55G available. So an antenna design is not in a vacuum. What are the goals of the antennas and what else is on the tower?

Don't confuse "verticals near salt water" with "verticals OVER salt water". N5OTs example is a vertical over salt water with a few wave lengths in all directions of exceptional salt water plane. The

Have you used the TDR to see how far up the coax the problem is? If its showing "at the beam" - there is no way I know of to confirm what is the issue jus that its at the beam. Obviously, if the faul

There is a lot more important question on the table here than coax on an asphalt shingle roof (which in my opinion is a non-issue). If you can't access the space underneath the roof, how are you plan

Rohn 55G is really not appropriate for a temporary set up. Its way too heavy to tilt up and you don't want to be assembling it with a gin pole if there is no concrete base. If something is so big it
