I received this note from a friend today: So now my question: Can any one tell me what the weight of a 56 foot Rohn tower would be? I have an idea that it will be hard to get a big enough bucket truc
Yesterday I put a 102 inch whip on a L bracket at the feed point of my 160 meter inverted L antenna. I have 16 full sized radials for 160, but the antenna is down. (All of my antennas are down) So I
Hi All: Well the 56 foot Rohn tower is now on the ground. A friend of mine brought over his bucket truck and two hours later all the antennas, co-ax, and tower was on the ground. No one got hurt, and
There was an article published a while ago, I think it was "how to build a single tower station" or something like that. It was full of good info for us "small guns" My recommendation: 72 foot Trylon
I agree completely with this statement. I owned one of the first (Thank you Gap Antennas!!) ones to come off of the line. It was gotten to help run a special event station at the Stampede grounds. C
For this statement you need to define which Gap antenna you are referring to. The Gap Voyager is 45 feet tall. (not small) Has a 10 foot diameter capacity hat, and requires 3 counterpoise wires. The
Hi J. P. Would you like to list what you have for antennas? It looks like it could be a lot of fun to play at your place. BTW. This is one of the best threads for a while. -- Peter J. Larsen http://m
All though not exactly on topic here, this statement brought back a great memory. In town here we had a 10 meter SSB net on 28.250 every evening. Lots of mobiles (vertical) and lots of base stations
Did you cut this length in half, and use the TH6's mounts to attach it onto the beam? Sounds interesting. -- Peter J. Larsen http://members.home.net/ve6yc List Sponsored by AN Wireless: AN Wireless
Plus over 100 confirmed on 160 with the HF2V (Yes he is a friend of mine) -- Peter J. Larsen http://members.home.net/ve6yc List Sponsored by AN Wireless: AN Wireless handles Rohn tower systems, Tryl
Hi Mike: 20 deg here in Calgary, and not a puff of wind. So down came my set up. TH6dxx @ 72 feet 6M7 @ 77 feet Hy-Gain 40 dipole at 84 feet. Now I know I am much higher than your set up, but it work
Hi All: I am looking to replace my TH6dxx and Discoverer 7-1 with either a C4 or a C4s. After looking at the two antennas, my question is: is there any real point in going to the C4 over the C4s? Dol
Many have stated that the longer boom has a narrower beam width, and better F/B: C4s C4 Gain F/B Gain F/B 10 4.4 16 4.4 18 15 4.7 17 4.8 18 20 4.5 14 4.6 15 So you can see from the numbers that the F
I guess this should have read one to two dB. It ended up looking like .5 dB. Sry. KN -- Peter J. Larsen http://members.home.net/ve6yc List Sponsored by AN Wireless: AN Wireless handles Rohn tower sy
I needed a part for the 10 meter director on my TH6dxx. One call and it was in the mail. No problem with getting it. How ever, $20.00 shipping and handling for a $10.00 part does leave me a bit cold
Hi Carlos et al: I run a 6M7 seven elem. 6 meter beam 5 feet above my TH6dxx, 6 feet above that is a Hy-Gain 40 meter dipole. There is no interaction between the three antennas, so I would mount your
The link worked for me, except: the > 40m_80m_160m.pdf was on another line so I just hit the link (got the 404 error message) and just cut and pasted the > 40m_80m_160m.pdf onto the end. Now all I ha
I don't think that you should be too concerned, There is a 69 line there all ready, so it sounds like a rebuild. Shouldn't effect your property value, because the 69 line is there all ready. I think
These were probably "Kelem" grips. you just can't beat them for pulling wires. I use the smaller type to suspend my 1/2 inch hard line at the top of my 72 foot tower. -- Peter J. Larsen http://membe
I have only used one 4 element Gem Quad. It was at the VY1JA site in the Yukon. I can tell you from experience that this is the best antenna I have ever used. I own a TH6-DXX, the biggest I have owne
