Patrick, I would suggest you try it. My guess is that it will work better if above the fence than in the midst of the fence, like an above ground beverage probably works better than a BOG. Without an
I always assumed burying conduit with a bed of gravel under it and holes down was kinda like a septic line where any accumulation of water from whatever cause would likely drain out. Certainly contr
Jorge, If your wire Yagi is not flat ( in other words inverted V type elements) it will not work as well as it would if flat. There would be a significant difference between the whole thing being fla
It is worth reading the post with full text below from N0AX, one of the report authors, from a year and a half ago written during another round of opinions regarding Mosley antennas. I've read all th
Ed, It would require a longer boom. 12 feet isn't long enough for 9 elements and you would not get any significant improvement, but certainly a better antenna can be designed using a longer boom. You
I've used these self aligning bearings similar to this for 40 years with very large antennas and have never had an issue. I have had issues with official thrust bearings like TB3. I usually put a hea
John, I have used a long beverage with a thousand feet of coax with great success on the high bands and no preamp at all. Amazing that sometimes the signal strength is comparable to large Yagi antenn
Another thought is to consider what is now permanent as "temporary" and just put the new level right under what is already there. Worst case scenario is you need a spare guy bracket assembly. Stan Se

3.3 is what is claimed and shown as dBI on website and dBd in manual. The manual is about right. Stan, K5GO _______________________________________________ ___________________________________________
After about 40 years of making my own antennas I learned something a few years ago when faced with assembling 65 tribanders (520 elements) we made for WRTC2014. I was introduced to the element joint
It's all the way through. Not countersunk but counter bored. Head of socket head screw is cleared to bottom out on OD of inner tube. OD of inner tube is pinched very securely to ID of outer tubing. S
See below. Stan Sent from Stan's IPhone Yes Not very critical but you don't want a huge hole for the head of a #8 socket head cap screw. Just enough so it passes by the OD on the side where you inser
Luciano, I would recommend you buy the tubing and build whatever you want. I doubt where you are located you need the additional front to back and bandwidth that the 4 element OWA will provide over a
Rick, I noticed this response and have a question. Background: I have an 80m 4 Square insulated 25G verticals and another tower that is grounded that I shunt feed for 160m. In all cases the radials a
Thanks for the responses! Sounds relatively easy to fix. I was worried I was going to not learn anything today :-). 73...Stan, K5GO Sent from Stan's IPhone ___________________________________________
Rick, OK. Just read this. What would your best suggestion be for me to most effectively fix what I have described? Stan, K5GO Sent from Stan's IPhone _______________________________________________ _
Rick, Thank you for the advice. I don't know when I'll get to this with my busy retirement schedule (seriously these verticals with the current set up and then see what they look like after the chang
Another suggestion/alternative..A PLP preformed guy grip temporarily goes on and comes off the guy wire in less than 10 seconds and the loop is already made for you. You don't need to put but about 3
At risk of purists saying absolutely not, if I were going to put up just 30 feet of 25G tower and didn't have all the proper materials to insulate the guy wires and guy it as would normally be done,
