261. [TowerTalk] I Beam Base (score: 1): Author: Wilson Lamb <infomet@embarqmail.com>; Date: Sat, 27 Jan 2018 13:08:53 -0500 (EST); WOW, what an appealing idea! It's fun to be on here and see such things pop up! Imagine an antenna dragging at 200 lb, 100' up, and you have 20K ft lb at the base. Then add for tower, a few times tha; /archives//html/Towertalk/2018-01/msg00264.html (7,108 bytes)
262. [TowerTalk] QST (score: 1): Author: Wilson Lamb <infomet@embarqmail.com>; Date: Thu, 8 Feb 2018 09:52:03 -0500 (EST); Of course errors creep in. I expect the staff has to scramble to sell ads and get QST out. The real answer is for us complainers to submit some well reasoned, researched, referenced articles!

[TowerTalk] Winches (score: 1): Author: Wilson Lamb <infomet@embarqmail.com>; Date: Thu, 22 Feb 2018 13:56:42 -0500 (EST); Interesting stuff about pulldowns, etc. FWIW, I have used a couple of small units for yard work, raising Field day towers, etc..

266. [TowerTalk] Tower Connector for large egg insulators (score: 1): Author: Wilson Lamb <infomet@embarqmail.com>; Date: Mon, 19 Mar 2018 12:46:06 -0400 (EDT); Really? Have we lost it? Almost $50 for a clevis? Three of them cost more than a tower section? 12,000 lb rating? What size EHS are you using? How about a foot of guywire instead?

Maybe wrap in a rag to maintain concentration of juice. Get cheap box end or socket wrench. Make torque pulses with hammer or impact wrench. Repeat.

269. [TowerTalk] Tower Permitting Spec's (score: 1): Author: Wilson Lamb <infomet@embarqmail.com>; Date: Mon, 30 Apr 2018 14:24:17 -0400 (EDT); It's painful to read this stuff. The spec's are regularly revised and interpreted. They are based on model(s), history, tradition, and probably rules of thumb, backed up by calculations to three deci; /archives//html/Towertalk/2018-04/msg00310.html (9,989 bytes)

Does anyone have an Andrew catalog from 1999 or a little later? I'm looking for a datasheet for a dish, model TSBA1.

The duty cycle of cheap PM motors is very restricted. Better at light load, but should be considered. Drum capacities are severely limited. Wireless? Are you kidding?

[TowerTalk] Acom Arc Fault (score: 1): Author: Wilson Lamb <infomet@embarqmail.com>; Date: Sat, 10 Nov 2018 11:44:37 -0500 (EST); Putting a dummy load out on a feedline does not mimic driving an antenna. And tuning in the shack only makes the amp happy. It doesn't change what is going on outside. SWR due to line problems or mis; /archives//html/Towertalk/2018-11/msg00087.html (6,596 bytes)

277. [TowerTalk] Rotator Controllers (score: 1): Author: Wilson Lamb <infomet@embarqmail.com>; Date: Tue, 18 Dec 2018 15:25:04 -0500 (EST); All that big rotator stuff is more work than I would do. However, If I were doing it and had long runs I'd look into using 120V for the long runs, with appropriate transformers at the ends.

278. [TowerTalk] Voltage and SWR (score: 1): Author: Wilson Lamb <infomet@embarqmail.com>; Date: Sat, 2 Feb 2019 12:27:11 -0500 (EST); I'm really lazy sometimes, ok ok, usually.

Of course I can estimate, but wonder if anyone has a CG location for a nested tower, horizontal. Yep, I'm calculating ballast for my 16' trailer.

280. [TowerTalk] Tower Torque (score: 1): Author: Wilson Lamb <infomet@embarqmail.com>; Date: Tue, 26 Mar 2019 12:34:48 -0400 (EDT); Torque will be induced in a tower if wind blows from a direction not parallel to a guyline. As the tower leans, it will cause differential changes of guy tension, which will twist the tower. I have n; /archives//html/Towertalk/2019-03/msg00314.html (6,602 bytes)
