Surely the Henry 8K has not been forgotten already? Made In America!!!! Don W7WLL Not long ago, it was easy to import some serious amps as long as that manufacturer didn't have a US outlet. The Emtro

They are indeed an item to avoid. I've pics of a BN-86 I pulled off my TH-7DX after only a few years up here on the OR coast. The burned area of the coil, the spider and insect crap inside, the corro
Cleaning out the shack. I have a 5-1/2 X 8-1/2 Tri-Ex Tower Corporation catalog from 1990, 16 pages, covering the towers and accessories available from them at that time, 22 pages printed both sides.
Great grandkids came in while I was typing and I messed up the page count. Sorry!!! Here it is again. Cleaning out the shack. I have a 5-1/2 X 8-1/2 Tri-Ex Tower Corporation catalog from 1990, 14 she
The last two old manuals I scanned and attempting to download a few months ago for inclusion into 'bama' never showed up, just disappeared into the big internet someplace I guess, nor was I able to g
That is interesting, and indeed it appears several towers had common nomenclature and design under both the Tri-Ex and the Tashjian corporate names. It appears that the Tri-Ex Tower Corporation name

The six expressing interest that emailed me via Towertalk or direct were K9MK, W8RJL, W4HY, N6DIY, KA8WEP and K6JOX, in no particular order. KA8WEP was the call pulled and Ill mail it when I go to ou

Has anyone used U-Bolt-It in Houston to fabricate longer U bolts than available in standard sizes? If so were they able to deal with small quantities at a reasonable price (like 2 to 4 pieces)? Don W
I was thinking LONG U-bolts Jim, like to fasten two 2 inch boom pieces together or other such odd needs plus possibly a saddle and rigid plate. I see DX Eng sells the SS or Alum saddles and a rigid p
I moved my A3WS 12/17 down from 8 feet above the TH7 to 6 feet and saw zero change in the performance or SWR of either. Don W7WLL Totally agree with John, as the BOOM of the 6m yagi is the culprit! 7
4 inch won't do it, no room for a saddle, plate and fasterners. I was really, I guess, seeking a ham known reputable and reasonable cost source of custom U bolts and that was why I was wondering if U
With two rigid plates each side that is a viable option to look into. Yes, I'm not equipped anymore (since downsizing to a house with no shop) to do metalwork nor do I desire to. SS is a bit difficul
Tnx for sharing that Gene. No numbers came up for this location, but I've maintained a WX station and auto- recorded daily most aspects of the local wx since 2007. At my exposed location we experienc
