So don't have a heart attack if you hang a plumb bob off your 100 foot tower and it is off by 20 inches one way or the other. You are within Karl's spec. 73, Stan K5GO _______________________________
Cut it off leaving a few inches sticking out of concrete, put it in proper position, form and pour another foot of concrete. Only purpose of the base is to keep it from sinking and stabilize it until
Dave, I hope you do put it up with a temporary choke and then replace it one afternoon with the 6 toroid choke. Take notes or record to document the difference in receive noise. I am interested since
A question regarding chokes for K9YC. Let's assume a coax going to an antenna is buried to the tower, the shield is grounded with a short length at the base, the coax is inside the tower and the shie
I am curious. The coax/tower (we'll call it Antenna 1) is isolated from Antenna 2 (the real antenna) with a choke. Antenna 1 is still radiating the noise without, let's say, direct connection to Ante
RG-400 is way better in my opinion because of stranded center conductor. Stan, K5GO _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing l
Dan, I've got the manual somewhere on some computer. I'll look for it in the next day or two if you still need it. Stan, K5GO Sent from Stan's IPhone _______________________________________________ _

Looking for the best ideas for coating/sealing inside and outside of a galvanized tower to best inhibit rust for a tower that would be located within 75 feet of open saltwater sea. Any good experienc
I agree. I don't know how many products they offer but it has to be in the hundreds. The ham market is small and a lot of hams are let's say.... "thrifty". There are a few who would complain about a
I would stake them down at base of wall, go up and over the wall, stake them down on other side and continue out. Stan, K5GO _______________________________________________ __________________________
With that info I might be inclined to use the same amount of wire and put down 5 times as many 20 foot radials in that 75 degree span. Obviously there would be some amount of bend which would have no
Need the bolt pattern for a Rohn flat, top section - current part number is 25AG4.or the bolt pattern for a Rohn TB3 which should fit what is drilled on the flat top section. Center of hole to center
Thanks, John. No, I would never use a Rohn bearing. Just needed to drill holes in a piece of Delrin. Stan I am not a fan of Rohn bearings, especially in corrosive environments but regardless I found
