Oaky. As you chase to post here rather than personally, I will reply. No one, at any time, said you manufactured the antennas, but selling to those you know are using them illegally is not what I wou
Still gathering things together for the not-too-far-in-the-future quad project and need a remote antenna switch. If anyone has one they are not using at a reasonable price, I'd like to hear from them
Would like to talk off list with anyone using (or who has used) a Rohn 25G foldover. Michael Goins, k5wmg Professor, Writing University of Texas at San Antonio Please do not print this e-mail unless
Wow. I want to thank all who responded - and there were many - to my simple request for information on the rohn tiltover towers. I belong to a number of lists and see such requests go unanswered all
I've been struggling with several scenerios, and decided to seek some help from the well-educated group here. Had a ticket for thirty-three years now and I'm pretty much a qrp guy, operating at 1 wat
Does anyone here have a schematic/directions manual for the electric winch HyGain used on their HG 52SS tower? I will have a non-functioning one here soon and need to know more about it. Would be gla
I recently purchased a HG52SS, and have a couple of questions about the base for it. One version of the manual has the base at 30"X30"X4'3"" and the other is 42"X42" X5'6". I lean toward the larger o
I'm hoping to have a HG52ss up before too long and I need some coax standoffs for it. Does anyone haqve some on a shelf? If not, where is the best price on a set that would work. Nearly theere if I c
Irrigation pipe is usually pretty thin walled and I wouldn't trust what is used here for a boom. Have you tried Texas Towers? They carry a lot of tubing and if they don't have it, I'd bet they can pu
Used always works too, as towers tend to have a long life. I recently picked up a HG52SS for under $700 and three of us loaded it on a trailer for the 30 mile ride home. It appears to have never been
As no one can seem to find a call sign, it is also likely it was CB and not ham related - though the media for the most part doesn't know the difference. No less tragic, but more often than not, a wh
Sounds like a son and daughter-in-law (and grandson) simply trying to help mom with a new antenna after her upgrade. Horrific in so many ways, any way one examines it. Mike, k5wmg Pipe Creek, Texas F
I've discovered what looks like 50' of good-looking Rohn 25G laying behind a neighbor's barn in Pipe Creek (Texas), near San Antonio. If I didn't have to guy it, I'd take it here (might anyway). What
I recently replaced a number of old double-hung windows from the 40's and saved the old sash weights to use with dipoles and other wire antennas. Really like them. Michael Goins, k5wmg Professor, Wri
I am in Pipe Creek, north and west of San Antonio. On the ground, ready for pickup, is 50 feet of what I believe to be 25G, including the tapered top section. Looks good and appears relatively new. N
It's partly "adjusted for the right place in the band." Michael Goins, k5wmg Professor, Writing University of Texas at San Antonio _______________________________________________ ____________________
Joe, I have everything arranged to disconnect outside the shack. Easiest to do to me and requires simply moving the antenna and feedlines, etc. to grounds. Michael Goins, k5wmg Professor, Writing Uni
I beg to differ, Hans, regarding the tall masts. Irrigation piping, often in 2-6 or bigger inch sizes, is primarily for the transfer of liquids (usually water) across fields. It is thin-wall so it ca
I disconnect everything and ground it to the same plug connected to ground outside the station. When I operate, I switch them. When finished, I switch back. Lightning is severely limited in how it ca
Good information, but not necessarily for a regular vertical dipole center-fed with coax or feeders as it would essentially be a dipole set on end and fed in ther middle with the coax (or feeders) co
