HELP ! ! ! I recently purchased a TIC ring 1122E rotor to be part of my new antenna farm. Since it was delivered I have been trying to get the mechanical rotor aligned with both the digital readout a
On October 31, 2006 I posted a note to the reflector about an alignment issue that I was having with the TIC Ring Rotor model 1122-E. I am happy to update all on TowerTalk that the issue is resolved.
Bob, You can purchase them from MFJ directly. I have purchased both 10 meter and 20 meter insulators and - they are not expensive. Here are the phone numbers: General Information: (800) 973-6572 (662
I contacted Richard (K0XG) as I also heard he had one of his new ring rotors in Dayton. It is indeed a beautiful looking unit - he sent me pictures of it supporting the Monster-IR. It is just a bit p
I don't think bare wire is required. My current temporary antenna for 75 / 80 is an inverted V that, depending on SSB / CW, I simply change the length of the antenna by wrapping the Home Depot #14 st
Hi Keith, Here is what I am doing - - and why. As you know I will have (3) 100' towers. 40/10 tower - 170' to 20 meter tower - 120' to 15 meter tower 15 meter tower - 150 feet to 20 meter tower. Like
I am in the process of erecting a few towers at the new QTH and have a guy wire size question. Two of the towers will be Rohn 45 @ 100' and the third will be Rohn 25 @ 100'. They will all have multip
Has anyone mounted a HyGain 204BA in a Tic Ring Rotor? If so, how do you join the two pieces of the boom together without the standard HyGain center bracket? The bracket won't fit in the Tic cradle.

Hi Rob, Last year I had some Rohn 45 shipped from Florida (by Bill (K4XS) before he went to Hawaii) to Durham, NC and also some Rohn 25 and 3000' of guy wire shipped from Texas Towers to Durham, NC.
I will soon be installing a XM240 on a Tic Ring rotor. If you are familiar with the XM240, you know the boom splits in the middle and, when mounted to a mast, uses a very solid set of mounting bracke
When we built our new station here in North Carolina, my wife (Laurie - N1YXU) had a suggestion that we followed up on. As we were building (3) towers, she suggested putting a selection of "band app
One problem fixed but another problem surfaced. A few weeks ago one of my G2800s decided to stop rotating. It is paired with a Green Heron control and the pair work very well together. I quickly isol
They don't have brakes. That is one of the advantage of Yaesu rotors over HyGain. They are all gear driven. /Bruce N1LN Are you sure about this? I owned two G2800-DXA's and was not aware that they ha

I am starting a new tower / antenna project and wondered if anyone could point me toward a company that sells tower leg insulators for Rohn 45 or one that may fabricate them? The end goal is to conve
Thanks to everyone that responded to my question about tower leg insulators and alternate methods to isolate the tower from ground. I have enough info for now and the next steps will nr putting toget
I am in the process of making some antenna changes for my station that will include adding a shunt fed tower for 160 meters. Would anyone happen to have an EZNEC+ (V6.0) compatible model, preferable
I am looking at changing my tower and antenna configurations and making it more "from the ground" serviceable. To that point, I just completed the installation of a US Towers HDX589 and it is in need
