Hi all, I want to put up a Beverage antenna, but the only place that I can get any distance would run it directly over a grounded 4 foot high wire fence for about 1/3 of it's length. Can I put the an
I was asked to summarize responses to my question about running a beverage antenna about 10 feet over a wire fence. K3VW pretty much expresses what most others did: I cannot say what your outcome wil
And there's the rub. Just Lightly tin the braid. As you've observed; Too much is not a good thing, as usual. BTW.... I've read some folks favoriable opinions (here and in other places) about using a

Jan, Pull some small cord in when you pull the old cables out. Parachute cord works great, and it makes almost invisible wire antenna support rope when you're done. GL es 73, Don - K4BEV -- StripMime
Several of y'all had asked me to keep you informed on my TH-7 boom conversion project. Kirk, K4RO, had modified his tribander with an Omega match per N4KG's design and reports not only fine results,

I have an old CD-44 Series 3 rotor on the bench. When turning, it sounds like it's pouring concrete for a new tower. I opened it up, gears look ok. Turns smoothly, but sounds "crunchy". Is this noise
<< My rotator generates a little hash when rotating. >> Mine did too. Ham IV, DCU-1. It was also putting the hash on the air when transmitting (NOT Cool). Common point ground fixed it. I got a 1/2" t
<< On the other hand, given that it is an aesthetic argument, a blanket ban on antennas and transmitters of any kind seems unreasonable, and is worth challenging in some fashion, if only because they
Picture this, if you will: A 40 meter 1/4 wave vertical mounted on a 10 foot wood mast with 4 radials, also 10 ft up. Would you: Run a wire from the connection between the radials and the coax shield

A lot of sporting good stores, and WalMarts carry paint called BowFlage. These are flat (non reflective) earth & tree tone, removable paints used to camouflage your bow, rifle, etc. Don K4BEV _______
For 40 meters I now have a HF6V @ 10 feet with 4 elevated radials for 80 and 40, and my TH-7 boom @ 65 feet converted to 40 with an Omega match per N4KG. Rig is an IC-765. Although both antennas are
<< Has anyone compared a ground-mounted HF6V to one that is elevated with elevated radials? >> Sort of. I only have 1 HF6V so AB comparisons weren't possible, but almost no one heard me on 80 when it
Kelly es Randy, I had my HF6V at 10 feet with elevated radials as Randy described (4 twin lead+ 1 for 80m). (I'm using Aluminum instead of Copper for 80 meters though.) Added another 80 meter (66 foo
