Excellent report. A problem is that many Urologists want to do a biopsy when the PSA is high and I am told that that will accelerate the growth and spread of cancer cells if they are in evidence. 73,
DMSO (dimethyl sulfoxide), in my opinion, is an extraordinary natural curative. Can't see its use in WD-40, since it would immediately carry the other additives contained in the product directly into
The apparently overlooked point is that if you have to settle for a multi-band (compromise) antenna, with full band coverage on each band, an open-wire feedline is mandatory unless you want to loose
Hi All, Thanks for all of the useful information that I received on the subject, including some excellent Web sites. The rebar has been bought, now comes the work. 73, Carl, VE9OV -- FAQ on WWW: http
Hi, Would someone please let me know what a UFER ground is and what is its purpose. Thanks. 73, VE9OV -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towertalkfaq.html Submissions: towertalk@contesting.com
Hi all, Thank you, to all of you who brought me up to date on this subject. I received some excellent information on Ufer grounds, all of which was also published on the reflector. 73, Carl, VE9OV co
Hello All, In my area the only ground rods readily available are steel, in lengths of 8' and 10'. Is it advisable to use these (apparently the Power Company does), or is copper clad steel the rod of

Hello there, If I remember correctly, an isotropic antenna is an imaginary point source radiator in free space. It is used as a theoretical reference point for antenna gain measurements only and has
Really too bad, Barry, that your nerves would keep you from buying the most innovative and exciting beam to come on the market in many, many years. Having been a Ham for more than 50 years now, my 3-
I have watched US Coast Guard civil engineers climb an 1850' Loran C tower, hot, and swing by a lanyard from leg to leg on their way down, examining the tower's structural integrity. Those guys had g
