A medium sized "ear syringe" and about an inch of 1/8" teflon tubing will also work. It has for me, anyhow, since about 1962. 73, George T. Daughters, K6GT ___________________________________________
I've experienced just the opposite! I had a C-3, then a C-4SXL, and I broke a couple of U-bolts and bolts. I broke them. Not Force-12, and not HRO (where I bought the antenna.) I promptly received ne
Maybe not! I know of a welding shop (in my locality... central California) that will do welding jobs pretty cheaply. I think they have a minimum job cost of $30, and that's for 1/2 hour. An experienc
I had a C-3 for a couple of years until I replaced it with a C-4SXL. I've been very happy with these antennas. I know that some have modified their antennas to give a bit more stability to the elemen
Hi, FWIW There is an old clockmaker's cleaning solution that is good for degreasing and brightening brass. It is a mixture of oleic acid, acetone, ammonium hydroxide, and water... I don't remember th

The $23.40 may be correct, but that would be $1.17 US per Euro. I'll take all the Euros I can get if I get 1.17 of them for $1 US! 73, George T. Daughters, K6GT ______________________________________

Don't forget the Force-12 C4SXL and C4XL and heck, the C4 too. 73, George T. Daughters, K6GT _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk
OK, now you can put me into the "confused" column (as opposed to the "amazed" column.) This might give a nearly correct result, but where did the pi come from? Or is my chain being jerked? 73, George
I must have missed the earlier post, but it looks like "here we go again". Barn owls keep rodents off your antenna; ospreys keep fish off your antenna. 73, George T. Daughters, K6GT _________________
Yes, I have, and I feel secure when I climb. If Steve uses that kind of rig, I'm thinking it's the correct one to use! 73, George T. Daughters, K6GT _______________________________________________ __
