Good to hear that the radio AND the antenna were working just as they should have! Dino - KX6D It IS true that the bandscope in my PROII had an elevated baseline on 15m with the log, and not with the
Grainger is blowing out Fulton Winches...while supplies last. Fulton KW3000 - $142.76 (reg. $233.00) This is a 3000# vertical pull worm gear winch! http://www.grainger.com/Grainger/items/4KG29?Pid=se
Just a little heads up... M2 is currently designing a new Log Periodic antenna with a couple of more elements (10 elements possibly) and a little longer boom, to go along with their new "Light Duty"
I asked for a 10-30 only, so 30 meters is covered. I have a simple 2-element for 40, which I recommend over what basically comes out to only a rotatable dipole for 40 on the log. Your issue will be w
I hinted to this back at the end of January. I got a message from Mike last month and he had S/N-001 on the air with excellent reports into Europe and SWR curves as expected. I spoke to Matt last wee
Roger, stop stirring the pot! That CB antenna works perfect for what it was designed for. The design was stolen from a guy named Kale who builds the "Penetrator 10K" antenna. I know you are not so na
Yes Dave, thanks for proving my point. Dino - KX6D Somebody really needs to chill. Where did Roger say anything about CB at all, much less bash CB'ers??? It seems pretty obvious he was poking fun at
ELECTRIC MOTOR: I'll have to go back and check my records on the motor used for the 72' UST. This factory motor was also a Leeson but rated for 1HP @ 1750 RPM. I had the motor rebuilt at a factory au
Mike's stock just went up (if it could get any higher than it is already) with me! However, I doubt that Mike would use his company's e-mail list in this manner. Dino - KX6D I was disappointed to rec
The fact that 15 and 10 are good, this tells me the tips are not the correct length. Check those again and post a SWR curve. Remember, when you tune any tri-bander (for the most part), you start with
Maasdam Pow'r-Pull http://www.maasdam.com/ Dino - KX6D Planning some tower work that may involve lifting a loaded mast a few inches. Does the group have a preferred model or models for this type of d
Google is your friend... http://www.portlandbolt.com/technicalinformation/astm/ASTM_F1554.html A quick search of the towertalk archives will also yield you some great info... http://lists.contesting.
Steve gives some good advice here! Also remember this, although the specs have changed over the years, the towers have only seen some minor engineering/mechanical changes (except for US Tower who aba
If you don't have an answer yet, I'd say its a little premature to throw someone under the bus. Ask the question, find out what the story is, THEN back over him. Who knows, he may have a real good re
This is a tough situation. You could "lubricate" the clutch pack but risk that they will not hold. I recommend using a Klein Grip with an anchor to prevent the tower from collapsing. This will allow
You need invert the 3" tube slightly, so the top of the 3" tube is angled down. Use a smaller pipe that will fit INSIDE of the 2" mast so you can lift and align it with the 6" 2.5" stub thats welded
The spacing is optimized, but does not follow along with the OWA spacing. Two different animals. Dino - KX6D Hi Neil They are the same antenna. The 205BA is the older version, and has the screw & cla
I have some very recent experience with Hub City and their speed reducing gearboxes. I actually had the bronze gear fail due to the rusted steel worm gear eating it up...and this was AFTER I flushed
You will need to remove the top bracket/pulley assemblies and you can pull everything right out the top. Depending on the tower, you may need to "time" (align) the inner tubes as you pull them out so
Thats awesome! What's the spacing and how are you feeding it? Split driven with a beta? How about OWA? Dino - KX6D -- Original Message -- Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] 30 meter yagi From: "Stan Stockton"
