I've always dreamed of having some directivity on 40 meters. I've heard several references to a 'shorty 40', but when I look on the web all I find is an old Moseley design. I don't want to re-ignite

Make your own using a very large hinge. Works for our Field Day setup. 73, Kk0sd <Yep!! http://www.nn4zz.com/tiltplate.htm <The picture on this page shows the Heights Tower and Tilt Plate serial# <00
I do not know how much work the folks involved want to do, or how essential maintaining all of the dimensions is. But the option I haven't heard discussed is the base re-use method I have heard Steve
I was able to gall a 6 mm stainless steel U-Bolt (without really trying) that holds my small Diamond Antenna to a mast. I put U-Bolt in quotes as the bottom of the U is more triangular the round. Loo
The V-Bolt was wanted mainly for appearance sake and possible resale value. The real trick is finding something with the same metric dimensions although a little modification is sure to allow for a s
For some of us the budget is the chief consideration. An antenna system that works for a little while is better than never having an antenna. As work forces me to move again and again, I'm beginning
Has anyone actually modeled a Cob Web antenna? Most of the stuff I find on the web - says - I got a good match it therefore it is a great antenna. I was wondering how it compares to a dipole. Thanks

My father Gary Mayfield, WA0EAF has passed away. I need to take down his antenna farm in central Kansas and am looking for help. The more you can help the cheaper it gets. You can see more details he
No just a bad photographer. There are no power lines near the antenna. 73, kk0sd Gary, I am very sorry for your loss. Obviously, being in Vermont, I am not able to take advantage of the opportunity.
Just a follow up on the antenna and tower removal project at wa0eaf. Thanks to N5OT and his charming wife Kathy we were able to complete the project without incident. I would like to give Mark the to
Something I have always wanted to ask. Have you ever seen a tower come down due to a failed base? 73, Joe kk0sd Hi Don I can't provide specific info on adding a 30 foot crank up to your existing base
I am looking at a possible location where the antennas will be 500 feet - maybe a little more from the operating location. Is anyone aware of a 5 band (80-10 meters) multiplexer that would allow simu
Yes I was hoping to run 5 radios at once. Like is commonly done with tribanders - triplexers - bandpass filters now. 73, Joe kk0sd It appears that you plan on having all three antennas connected at t
The below items are what I was thinking of although none of them seem to cover the 5 "contest" bands. I did see several power levels of 10 - 40 meter quad-plexers. I am assuming they are bi-direction
As I have watched the club's wire antennas fail from being rolled and unrolled through the years. I would like to hear of people's experiences with flex-weave. It looks like a good solution for an an
