I had a similar problem with the DXE reversible Beverage box and could not get them to give me a schematic in order to aid in it's repair. The design was not some kind of proprietary magic so I was f

IMHO for a high performance well built antenna the Force 12 C3S was great for the price, easy to assemble, and USPS shippable with 3 elements on 15 and 10. With pre-drilled holes for the element leng

* but any good dipole has a null off the end, so you really need two at right angles to work both S and W. With dipoles, the only thing that really matters is the nulls off the ends.** * ** **73, Jim

DX-Engineering is great at what they do. My only complaint is the price. But as the OT would say "Ya git what you pay for." Herb <http://blog.boxbe.com/general/boxbe-automatic-cleanup?tc_serial=22966

For the CQ WW I put up a 5 Element HyGain 10 meter beam(LJ-105CA) I double and triple checked all the element lengths and the VSWR is so low across the band it really excited me. It also scares me a

John, The the problem was neither VSWR (very low) or Beam Direction (any direction) even on the ground no signals were apparent except very very weak ones were heard on ten in any direction. It appea

Thanks Barry for the suggestions....I took the beam down and replace the deteriorating cup insulators that seems to have turned into a carbon resistor. This is what gave me the low VSWR but also acte

Actually if you are going lower in frequency you add wire not reduce wire....so the formula results appear transposed. Herb, KV4FZ <http://blog.boxbe.com/general/boxbe-automatic-cleanup?tc_serial=232

SWR is NOT an indicator of antenna performance. But it determines whether or not my very sensitive Alpha 87A will trip off or a solid state amp will fold back. Herb, KV4FZ ___________________________

With Rohn 25, and a gin pole is not really required, it is very easy to just lay the section around the base of the tower you have walked up up like 3 sections. (Preferably guyed) and clip yourself o

It is always good if you use this solo method to clamp the section with Gorilla hooks to a fall arrest cable (bungee type) to the section before you lift it in place. But you can even use a short rop

You don't have to climb up and down if you use a rope with a hook and just fish for the section you have placed in a star configuration around the base. Powered winches pulling up sections for a ligh

Good way to take out a front end of the second radio. Do the math with 1.5 KW and even with some band filters you are taking a chance. Maybe with QRP that would work...... but HP? Even with front end
