In my experience, this is a good antenna, with no arcing as in the older 402BA. The only weak spot I found was in the reflector element clamp, which is the smaller #13 size (1.25" ID; the driven elem

What's the current scoop on suppliers of chrome-moly masts? I need two galvanized 2" x 20', 0.25 wall or thicker. I notice that US Tower shows their mast isn't being produced. Please reply direct to

These cable hangers are the only way to go, but even the best solutions have some problems. Over time, I've noticed that the reinforced loop at the top wears through if the cable swings in the wind,

ICE was a sponsor of WRTC 96, and built us 200+ filters in a couple of weeks from a standing start. I measured each one on a network analyzer, and they all checked out to the ICE specs. I have a set

Sorry, correct formula for ln(ae) is ln(ae) = SUM OF [(Ln/h) O*ln(an)]; subtitute into Zo = 60 * [ln (2*h/ae) -1] = 60 * [ln(2h) - ln(ae) - 1] Dave, W6NL -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towe

Somehow, an extra character and line feed crept into the message. ln(ae) = SUM OF [(Ln/h)*ln(an)]; subtitute into Zo = 60 * [ln (2*h/ae) -1] = 60 * [ln(2h) - ln(ae) - 1] ae is the equivalent radius o

In addition to rf output, there's also a big difference among ballasts in their sound output. I had a workshop with 28 2-tube fixtures, and the hum was distracting. I noticed that some ballasts have

If the elements are mounted above the boom, the center of gravity of the beam is above the boom and the antenna tends to rotate (example: the KLM designs). This makes the antenna difficult to hold ho
