I have a shear type pair of dykes that cuts 3/16 like butter. They were made by H K Porter and I got them where I got my wire rope. _______________________________________________ ___________________
I have re-cabled 3 LM470's using a "hand" swagger made by H K Porter. It is 3 feet long and it does a great swaging job. It is, however, for 3/16" galvanized cable, not 1/4", which would make a huge
HK Porter makes a tool that slices thru 3/16" like butter. Cost is about $30. The advantage of cutting versus grinding is the cut end is perfect and it goes thru the nicopress fittings whereas grindi
Look on the bright side. With all them CB'ers getting their tickets, ham radio equipment prices will drop. And think of all the channels we can make on the new 75 meter SSB band allocation. Seriously
As I recall, the code requirement for Advanced class was 13wpm, not 20. _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTal
And, IMHO, well maybe not so humble, people that get these no code licenses should have to sign /NC after their calls. I worked for mine, they should work for theirs. This is an insulting downgrade o
4 homebrew HyGain Hytowers made from 3 sections of Rohn 25 and some oil filled Nylon insulators and a 30' stinger. I can supply details if needed. No guys required. If you don't want to build them, b

Of course the $64 question is: How much is the 4 Square K9AY? I wonder how much better is it than a full size 4 square. Bob W6TR -- Original Message -- From: "Joe Szeliga" <j.sz@transam.home.pl> To:
The winch that is being sold on eBay would work beautifully on raising tower sections and antennas. It allows multiturns of rope and the operator can let it slip to control the rate of "raise". It is
All that you say is true if the operator doesn't have a clue as to what he is working with. The item on eBay can sleep in my garage anytime the current owner wants to give it to me at a price I can a
Why would anyone want to use aluminum for a mast? Rust resistance? Lightweight? Flexibility? None of these are necessary characteristics of a mast. The toughest aluminum alloy made doesn't come close
Why repaint them at all? They will blend into the scenery better and they sure won't weaken the tower, not in our life anyway. I do believe that at one time Rohn sold ungalvanized sections for less v
You are incorrect regarding "No charge". After they loaded the trailer, they took it down and weighed it all and you were charged for the total weight onboard, including the stuff in the belly pack.
I don't even know you pal. Over the last 15 years I have used a moving company 4 times and they all do it the same. When they come to you house to give you an estimate, it is purely that. In the end,
Contact Green Heron Engineering. They make a great rotator controller. The company is owned by W2FU. _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ To
I am still looking for a crank-up tower in the 60-70+ foot range. I am in the Tampa, FL area but will travel for the right tower. Please contact me off reflector if you have one for sale. Bob W6TR __
