Hi Gary, I don't think he is climbing on the offset section. I think he is climbing on the second section after it has been bolted in place. I believe he is climbing to the top of the second section
Hi, Does anyone have a EZNEC file for a 40-2CD that they would be willing to share? Regards, Ken W7TS _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporti

If you want to change FT-LBS to IN-LBS Multiply by 12 not divide. However I am not sure that will resolve your question. Regards, Ken W7TS -- Kenneth E. Kinyon 34 Princeton Circle Longmont, CO 80503-
Someone mentioned using a grid dip meter on a parasitic element. This is something I have wanted to do before, but have not come up with a method to couple the meter to an element that does not have
I can tell you one thing for sure. My toilet has a copper ball float in it, and it has never been struck by lightning. I must admit though that I have heard thunder near it before. 73, Ken W7TS -- Ke
Has anyone come up with a method of attaching a small VHF or UHF antenna at or near the top of one of one the intermediate sections of a US towers or similar crank up without interfering with the tow
I am building a trapped inverted vee from insulated wire. I expect that there will a lot of length adjustment to be done on each segment before I am happy with the center frequencies. My thought is t
I wonder if the mast and whatever it passes thru at the top of the tower are different metals with different coefficients of expansion. when it gets cold the sleeve contracts more and binds on the ma
Ok, I usually sit here and read all the BS that goes on on this reflector and bite my tongue. This time I have gotten annoyed enough to react. I have a degree in atmospheric Science from a reputable
Ok, I understand. you have a financial interest in an alternative school of thought. Regards, ken -- Kenneth E. Kinyon 34 Princeton Circle Longmont, CO 80503-2106 -- E-mail: W7TS@comcast.net -- _____
Sorry for the band width, but I am tired of searching. Is there a Force 12 mailing reflector? If so, Where? Thanks, Ken W7TS -- Kenneth E. Kinyon 34 Princeton Circle Longmont, CO 80503-2106 -- E-mail
Is anyone aware of any studies done on the effect of ground snow on the RF reflectivity of the soil underneath the snow? It is not usual for the front range of Colorado to have significant snow on th
This perhaps doesn't directly apply. However, the best 80 meter transmitting antenna I have ever owned was a HF-2V mounted on top of a 45 foot crank up mast. I top loaded it with 4 wires at the point
hello, Not having a super station, I take exception to David's comment. first of all it is very easy to strengthen the boom of a 40-2 CD and I imagine also Cushcraft's newer beam (if necessary), so t
I think this must have something to do with the commonwealth. I don't think dogs in the US eat this much stuff that they shouldn't. I think I will write my senator to start an inquiry. 73, Ken W7TS _
I am guessing this post will do no good, but it is worth a try. I finally signed off of the SteppIR mail list (with an emotional outburst of my own ;)), because I tired of the emotional exchanges tha
"Which pl 259 goes to the rig and which to the antenna? They should put arrows on those things!" Wow, what a dumb question. That's easy, the one that is closest to the rig always goes to the antenna
Maybe, I've learned, but probably not. I've been burned by that more than once at home depot. The other that has got me a couple of times is: box or package looks fine. Get it home, and some one has
I have seen this before, in fact yesterday on a roll of duct tape. My experience is that this happens when the tape is stored for a period of time (my guess is a year) at warm temperatures. I am gues
