61. [TowerTalk] US Tower TX-472 (score: 1)
Author: "Tom Martin" <tmartin@chartermi.net>
Date: Sat, 31 May 2008 13:52:12 -0500
I lost my tower and antennas a few weeks ago in a storm and I am now considering a UST crank up. I received a decent price on the TX-472, with shipping from their Kansas plant a big break in costs. H

I had a Hornet beam on a 30' piece of pipe for my first beam/tower combo in 1959. In those days, living in the north woods of Wisconsin, without the help of any locals and a Internet reflector, I mad

Date: Mon, 8 Sep 2008 09:58:19 -0500
Back in the 70s, my TH6 at 50 feet worked very well, especially on 10 meters. Of course, today, until we get some sun spots, it doesn't matter much what your height is! If it is not cost effective to

James, You have plenty of time in Wyoming, MI. Now, here in Iron Mountain, snow could fly next week! I'm still waiting to get the tower back up and assemble the 4 element StepIR! Hopefully, it will a

Do not use a compound bow, unless you are on your own 40. A friend put his line over the 100 foot light pole in the football stadium and the arrow landed a half block away! It stuck in a neighbor's l

I have a 4 element StepIR at 72 feet and the driven element from my old Mosley 40 meter beam above it at 80 feet. Both antennas insulated from ground. My 80 sloper is attached at the 64 foot level an

Date: Fri, 20 Mar 2009 10:18:21 -0500
I don't think that Tom has mentioned if he has set the elements for SSB or CW. This of course would make a difference. I have a A3S that I use for FD and other club events and it always resonates low

About three weeks ago, as I tried to work a YK on 40 CW, my SWR on the 40 meter shortened dipole jumped from 1:1 to 5:1. At the time we were experiencing a heavy, wet snowfall. The antenna is the dri

Butternut gives that scenario as a DO NOT in their instructions. About the same as a vertical with just a ground rod, or two. My HF6 is ground mounted with 50 radials and has a decent match 80-10. Of

No problem here with the receiving loop about 30 feet from the Inverted L. To be safe though, I purchased the KD9SV Dxpedition Model Dual Pre-Amp with the Front End Protector. It's a very nice unit.

Tie EACH of the 'boxes' in the shack to the SPG outside with SEPARATE ground wires. Thus, the SPG you have serves its purpose. " In a typical SO2R station, that would be 17-20 different wires going t

A few weeks ago, I started with a 50' length of RG-213 and, after many attempts at soldering PL-259s, the coax was 44' long. HI! Lately, I have been ordering coax lengths with the connectors already

Thanks Roger. I will make some calls. You are correct. It's the internal wiring colors, not the cable to the controller. 73, Tom -- I am using the free version of SPAMfighter. SPAMfighter has removed

Have you checked out the Mosley Pro-67 C3? A lot less than the SteppIR and 10-40 meter coverage without the trombones. Two elements on 40 and rotatable dipole on 30 meters. These are well built anten
