What else is on the tower? You will probably needs some top loading to get it to play well on 160. Are we talking about DX? Put an arm out and use the tower to hold up an inverted L or a T for 160. T
Getting slopers to work well is almost like finding True North. Some have great luck and others not so much. The good thing about trying things whether they work or not is I usually learn something i
I have the HD70. As stated below the drawings are on the website and Dan was great at answering any questions I had during the build. These towers are stout! I have an AN wireless tower. I received d
Check out the latest QST. There is an article about this subject. The author uses a piece of pipe which has a concrete at the bottom. He pounded in a ground rod and then slides the pipe with concrete
I like this idea. Easy and fairly inexpensive. Some tower manufacturers sell anti-climb devices. Basically the ones I have seen could be built with some pressure treated plywood and a couple clamps..
I have never seen one that can do all those types of coax. DX Engineering has a number of 2 step strippers that work great. If you have a Tessco account they have them too. You are asking a lot from
I agree with Steve. Get yourself a harness with a fall arrest cable. You won't fall out of a harness if something bad should happen. old belt. Its a W2ONV belt which I think was purchased in the seve
This clearly shows the need for more self responsibility and the need for far fewer lawyers. If you are at all concerned about climbing a tower or doing the work proposed DON'T! Walk away. Tower work

Use conduit that has drainage holes and install it in a bed of gravel, you can wrap the conduit in landscape material to keep dirt out if you need to. I am fairly sure the stuff I bought had holes on
I have some Green Heron Controller boxes which are supposed to work with prop pitch type rotors. They are self contained in a box not much bigger than a Tailtwister controller. The drain can't be all
I was in HRO Denver yesterday and they are now carrying crimp tools and crimp connectors for coax. They even have a kit that has large and small coax strippers. It appeared to be 3 blade construction
Sounds like the rotor should be rebuilt regardless. New bolts, new connectors etc. Good luck! "A slip of the foot you may soon recover, but a slip of the tongue you may never get over." Ben Franklin
20 Seconds? That is a lot of rotational torque coming to a quick stop. I hope you have a stout tower installation. What is the rush? I have my controller set to slow down as it approaches the stop so
I am becoming less and less thrilled with Ebay and Paypal. I tried to ship a radio I just sold through the paypal print a label and it would not let me because the value of the item was too high.....
Or get them to change the way they do business. Either way keeping out money for 21 days and collecting interest is wrong. I hope they are doing that opposed to needing the 21 days to collect funds t
Appraising a property that he was also involved with on the selling or buying side would certainly be on a slippery slope if for some reason something bad happened. I am a Real Estate Broker and a RE
