I need 300 feet of cable and got my heart set on LMR-400UF. If the price is right, I'll take 500 feet. Any suggestions on who I should talk to ?? Thanks, Dick,W1KSZ/7 ________________________________
Is there a distributor for Polyphaser or does one buy direct ? What is the best way to mount them ? I didn't find any mounting info on the Polyphaser website. I think a flat plate bolted to the tower
In my unpacking after the move I found a bag of "Tombstone" Insulators for the 402BA. 24 pieces of P/N 463642. Since I gave the beam away I no longer need them. They are unused, still in stapled bag
Is anyone in the Tucson/Phoenix area interested in doing a small Tower/Antenna job ? I have a Rohn 25 base and one section already installed. I need someone to add one straight section and a Top sect
I also had a change of heart and am going with an LM-470 instead of the Rohn 45. So I have Three (3) GAR 30 Anchors, One BPC45G Base Plate and One 3/4 X 12 Pier Pin. My cost was $258 plus $85 shippin

What is the proper UHF Crimp Connector for LMR400-UF ? I have tried two, RFU507-ST and SI and find I have to remove two strands of the center conductor before it fits. Surely there must be a connecto
I plan to install an LM-470 in the near future. The base specs are 3'6 X 3'6 X 7 feet. A note on the drawing mentions ..."undisturbed soil"... . The Backhoe Operator tells me the hole he digs will be
The overwhelming consensus is as you state. I'll have a chat with the Backhoe operator and if I don't get a "warm fuzzy" I'll look for another digger. Thanks for all the replies, 73, Dick, W1KSZ/7 Ba
I was at Harbor Freight this morning and picked up a "Mini Cut-Off Saw" for $20. It handles up to 3/4" material. I tried a piece of LMR-400 and it gave me a nice "square" cut that prepares the coax f
Looking to put up something quick I can use on 80/40/30. The Butternut HF-2V looks interesting. Any comments from Owners/Users Pro & Con. Tnx, Dick, W1KSZ/7 __________________________________________
Got several responses, most from folks who actually use the antenna and are satisfied with its operation. I did look at the Cushcraft, but all that wind load high up gives me the willies, especially
Several days ago I commented on certain Coax Crimp Connectors not fitting the Coax they were intended for. The response was underwhelming except for the couple of ..."they fit on my coax"... response
