Hi Bill, Had a major problem here in the Rockies with grounding. We have bedrock 6 inches under the soil all over our 5 acre lot. After talking to the locals, one in particular who installs microwave

Hi Krish, Good luck with the HOA! I've used Ham IV rotors in the past, but eventually traded it in on a Yaesu G-1000SDX. I like the "preset" direction (easy to "park" the antenna with one push of the
Hi Bob, I had a similar issue - and resolved it with epoxy/rock cement and drilling holes using a hammer drill to put 25 rebar rods in place. The difference is that my tower base is all above ground,

Let's face it - a monoband stack is a compromise antenna - a 20M version really sucks when you try to use it on 10M. Cheers, Joe WDØM _______________________________________________ __________
When I raise/lower my UST TX-455 with the Fulton K1550, all the dogs in the neighborhood come running....and the horses head the other way. Not sure about the neighbors, since we're out in the countr

I used the Texas Towers earth anchors for my 40 foot Rohn 25G in Alaska that carried a Mosley Pro57B-40 and a Cushcraft 5L 6M antenna. It was mounted on the edge of a bluff overlooking the ocean at a
George - sounds like we have a similar "problem". I did exactly what Steve recommended and it works fine. I sleep well at night. You can see how I did it on my web site: http://home.centurytel.net/WD
I'm using a Yaesu G-1000SDX with my 4L - I've had 88 mph winds that blew out the windows on my home - the Yaesu works fine. It also withstood 125 mph recorded wind gusts while I lived in Alaska with
Dang - I've just realized that complexity is evil! I'm gonna sell my C5 Corvette - I found out it has 5 computers in it at the least! Progress sucks. 73, Joe WDØM (4L SteppIR owner for almost
Au contrarire, mon ami - have you not heard about SWR? Should what you postulate actually happen, the end result would be an elevated SWR. Nice try..... ______________________________________________
If I may address one point - I'd never invite lightning inside the house - put your Polyphaser/ICE devices outside on a SPG to preclude allowing Thor's hammer inside the house where it may do even mo
The property across the street was listed at $700,000 when we bought our home 3.5 years ago and I got permission (BEFORE I bought the home) from the HOA/CCR committee to put up a 55 foot tower with a

Thank goodness! That reduces the back log for other potential SteppIR owners. The features of a SteppIR aren't found in any other yagi. Complex? Yup. But they sure work. I've managed to snag 301 coun
My now departed Mosley Pro57B didn't come close to the performance of my new SteppIR 4L with the 6M and 30/40M add on. RIP Mosley. Quality was poor - construction was "not good" - and Mosley never di
