Apologies if this is a dupe, I think the previous reply which I sent from work bounced as I'm not subscribed to TT from that address. Lsica replied: Yes, there are some nice pictures of it and some o
Has anyone had opportunity to try the Bencher Skyhawk + 402CD (or XM240) combination on the same mast yet? Curious if there are any large interaction issues with this pairing. Mark KI7WX -- FAQ on WW
Well I must admit it was a longshot to find someone that had tried the Skyhawk and the XM240. Thanks to those that reponded, nothing new but I do appreciate the time it takes to type in an answer. Le
Sorry about the prior truncation, AOL glitch on my end. To continue: The bandwidth issue rules out a lot of shorty 40s and the interaction issues clobber others. So how about using interlaced beams a
Sure am enjoying all the 4sqr talk and some very nice posts on wire arrays. I'd like to inquire if anyone has real time experience or would simply like to wax poetic on the following wire arrays. One
Before posing an unanswerable question, e.g. which array is a better choice, let me thank the many folks who responded regarding K8UR type arrays and my 80M verticle query. Many helpful coments. The
Anyone know if the study attributed to Mr. Gordon was limited to observations with yagis mounted at tower tops only. e.g. above the guys? Seems this would be fine, but is a different situation than s
Last week I purchased a 24 foot length of 6061-T6 2" OD x 0.250" wall tube for $10 a foot (shipped right to my door in a residential neighborhood) from TW Metals. If I had been close enough to one of
The 24 foot length of 2" OD x 0.25" wall plus one cardboard shipping tube weighed in at 45 pounds for shipping. The carton is probably 4-5 pounds as it is stout. Since this is a structural tube (6061
I think you are going to find that Stan is out of the bolt business. Texas Towers may have some Rohn bolt kits. FWIW, I used the Rohn bolts on some 25G and found they are not galvanized, but weakly p
Unless you are W9RE... Aren't we due for an 80M yagi update? Mark KI7WX/2 _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weathe
Pete, The Petzl Absorbica Y MGO lanyard is basically what you are after. I am a big fan of Petzl when it comes to my safety. A google search for that product will turn up various online vendors. It's
FWIW - I used the F12 410/415 yagi at P40V alongside a C31XR and felt that the duobander was superior to the C31 in that installation (roughly the same heights on different towers but hardly a scient
I think it's a goofy idea. Mating 25 to 55 could be done, but why "waste" new 55G tower sections using it as a 160M vertical? For roughly the cost of 3 good used sections of 55G (say $375-400) you sh
N0RQ asked about 18ga sprinkler cable for rotors. I used this wire at my NC station to feed a T2X which was later repalced with an M2 Orion. Worked fine on both rotors. I had about a 250-300 foot run

Dave's artical is on the web at the link below. It's super that K7VC has kept this artical up for so many years. http://www.qsl.net/k7vc/402cd.html I don't know if Mike still sells the tubing kit. Ma
Jack is likely thinking of Tom, N4KG, and his NJC artical: Simplified Strengthening of the Cushcraft 40-2CD N4KG 1994 NCJ, Mar/Apr p14 Heh, Jack busted Tom's call twice in one post, that's like minus
