I bought an MD-75 Motor from US Towers back in Nov. It was for a Hygain 70' Tower. They used to supply the motors for Hygain. When I got it, the mounting holes had been drilled wrong. I sent them dra
I am contemplating the installation of an 80m rotatable dipole at 86', over my other antennas. It's a shortened version (54') and has narrow bandwidth. How much better (or worse) will this perform co
Hello to the Group: I plan to install the following antennas on a 70' tower, with a 20' chromally mast, leaving me an available 15' of mast protruding from the tower. Fluidmotion 3 ele (6 SQ FT) M2 4
Wondering if Marine SS Cable is recommended for a substitute to the galvanized wire that comes from the factory...This is for a Hygain 70' tower. Thanks, Ed NI6S -- StripMime Report -- processed MIME
Hello! I am faced with a dilemma. I have one tower that will accommodate VHF/UHF antennas. Unfortunately, it would require 150-165' of coax per antenna. Its height is 70'. The height would be magnifi
I plan to erect a dedicated VHF/UHF antenna tower. I would like to use a fiberglass mast. Does anybody have a source for a 20' fiberglass mast that is strong enough to support several small yagis???
Thanks to all who responded. My hope is to get a 20' length so that I can put up multiple small antennas. Max-Gain, for example only sells 8' lengths. Any ideas? It's gotta be one solid piece with th
I currently have in my possession, a TH-11. Now that this SteppIR/Fluidmotion antenna is available, I am wondering if I should make the switch??? Haven't put up the TH-11 yet... Help! 73, Ed NI6S --
Steve: I already have your report. The TH-11 makes a good accounting of itself. But nothing on the SteppIR, hence my posting. Your insight or maybe an addendum, would be most appreciated. 73, Ed NI6S
Scenario: I will be putting up three antennas on a 70' tower: Hygain TH-11 (12 SQ FT) M2 3 element Linear-Loaded 40m Yagi (9.5 SQ FT) M2 5 element 6m Yagi (2.0 SQ FT) I will be using a 20' chromally
Hello! I am faced with a real dilemma here. I have a NIB TH-11 that I was going to install in about a month. I got this antenna because it covers all of the bands and the performance is top notch for
Looking to buy the 54' Rotatable Dipole for 80m and would like opinions about it. It would be mounted at 85'. Thanks. Ed NI6S _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscompute
I've enjoyed the thread on this antenna, to the point where I may consider getting one. I was previously considering the Steppir vertical, but the height/size of this one seems appealing. I just have
This topic has come up quite often and now I'm at the point where I am assembling my own station. I have ground rods spaced every 16 feet or so from my ground floor station all the way to the base of
I read this thread with interest, as I plan to do the same thing soon. In my case, I only have one tower for all of my antennas, including VHF and HF. Because it's a 70' tower, I was going to have a
Are they still in business? They NEVER respond to e-mails, so thought I'd ask..... 73, Ed NI6S _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towe
I, too am in the process of building my dream station. I have 70' tower and am wondering if I should install two Steppir antennas or one, to deal with the various patterns. I figured I could mount on
Read about the Comet CHA-250B. This antenna is interesting to me, as it covers all bands continuously, 1.5-50 MHz (I am an SWL, too). My ultimate plan is to put up my 70' tower, with multiple beams (
Interesting thread on the B&W....But one can one do if listening to multiple bands/freqs simultaneously through several receivers and a multicoupler?? Or frequency hopping and/or ALE?? Not many alter
