I don't know whether this would work or not - depends on how far off they regarding being vertical. What would happen if you used a four foot level and a straight piece of tubing or 2x4 and look at t
I have a Green Heron controlling the prop pitch on my 40m Yagi and have had it for about 7 years. It is a very nice control box. I had several other prop pitch rotators that I wanted to also control
Dan, I think you would be happy with guying the tower at approximately 225 degrees, 345 degrees and 105 degrees and having the rotator sit off the leg that is in the 105 degree direction. Assuming yo

Before this thread gets stopped, I can't resist to win this contest. Every time I drive to Silver Dollar City, about 30 miles from my QTH, I drive past this Gynecologist's office and chuckle. https:/
I haven't tried this but would it work to have a flat steel plate about 1/2 inch thick with four holes on the back side of the rotator (where the U bolt normally goes) and then use straight bolts get
Jim, You already have the vertical. Shunt feeding the existing tower is my suggestion. Stan, K5GO Sent from my iPad re _______________________________________________ ________________________________
Can't tell much from the very entertaining video but it's worth $500.00 if it makes your kids respect you and "possibly" keeps your wife from cheating on you regardless of whether it helps you work D
Brad, There may be a misunderstanding. You are talking about installing a few antennas on a mast. When you refer to capture area(s) and recommended stacking distances it sounds like you are looking a
Brad, It was relatively easy to model a fairly large 2m antenna design I had with a small 5 element 6m antenna above it by 5 feet. In the case of the two antennas I used in free space the degradation
Big problems with that, Jorge. Even if 90 degrees off and I think you won't be positioning them that far off (more like 70 degrees or so?) with only 6 feet of separation (your example used two feet b
Jorge, I took a six element 15 design I had and put three of them with 50 foot spacing in EZNEC Pro. In free space the SWR was as follows, driving all three: 21.000. 1.035 21.225. 1.028 21.450. 1.290
Jorge, One of the benefits of a stack is to reduce or eliminate the higher angle lobes for receive. From the middle of the USA where I am located, it can make a big difference in reducing the QRM fro
I have no idea what the strength is but I have a 2 inch (3/8 wall) x 24 foot mast with about 15 feet out of tower and 9 feet inside tower at a location that has been installed for 39 years. It has ha

Tom, DX Engineering acquired Cycle 24 Antenna Products recently and has the galvanized clamps previously offered by Cycle 24. If the thickness of whatever you are attaching is 3/16 (maybe as much as
Thanks, John. The clamps we are talking about have a serrated flange washer nut, and I have never felt the need to use another washer even when I had the thread length to accommodate one. I know most
