Should have added one more thing. If you are bending hoops for a cylindrical cage, an EMT conduit bender works well. Kinda depends on what you're building. If it's a simple cage that isn't interlaced

Sorry about this guys. I'm not sure who needs to address this... probably someone at contesting.com. It's happened before, and it happens (I think) to all Comcast customers. The messages we send out
Thanks, but the spam filter at Comcast (if that's even the problem) is not one I have control over. I don't use any of the user-selectable Comcast spam filters, and I've turned off my local ones too
I use Outlook, and I use the rules extensively. I?ve already created a separate inboxes for TT and other senders. The problem is not local; it?s at the server, before it ever gets to me. JC, You didn
Greetings fellow TTers, The tower project has gone slower than I hoped, but it is progressing. We poured 11.5-yards of concrete ($1650) for the foundation last week. Pictures can be seen at: http://s
Hi Al, You might look through the safety section of the Northern Tool & Equipment catalog (http://www.northerntool.com/). They have some attractive prices. Some of their harnesses aren't real "deluxe

Just out of curiosity, how do you make those measurements at the antenna without your body affecting the results? On many antennas it is almost impossible to position yourself at the feed point anywa
Hi Joe, I understand about the line loss, and what it does, but aren't you still finding the "resonant" freq. of the antenna by finding where the VSWR dips? Assuming you didn't screw up in constructi
Hi Alan, Sorry I didn?t get back to you sooner; I?ve been having problems getting my TT messages lately (I?m on Comcast). I have a MA-550MDP with the MARB and it?s a great little tower. It came (used
Sorry to drag this up again, but someone on here posted a link to an adjustable positioning strap and I've lost it. It was a strap to be used in conjunction with a climbing belt or combo harness and
Hi David, I have their "4-step" model (4 steps as a fully-compressed A-frame and16 steps if fully extended). It's so old it doesn't match any of the current models. Back then they only made 3 differe
* Hinges and latches take care. Leave them out in a rain a few * times and it'll be a "one position" ladder. Actually, that 30-year old Little Giant of mine lives on top of my service truck, which si
They aren't light, that's true. The way I like to carry mine is all folded up (duh), and the best way to pick it up is to stand beside it, bend your knees a little, stick an arm between two steps and
Are you using a spin casting reel to play out the line? That 2 oz. sinker should be plenty heavy unless the line is getting all kinked up. You could try a little lighter line too. Is the problem on t

A good source for support rope is RadioWorks (http://radioworks.com/PDFCat05/70-71.pdf ) I particularly like their 500# test, .075" Dacron sheathed Kevlar for portable installations. They have a vari
Motor voltage is 28 - 42 VAC, current is not specified. There is no recommended cable length (short as possible I guess). Minimum size for the three motor conductors is #18. Over 125' - #16, over 200
It's good stuff for many applications but not good for permanent installation in trees unless you can keep it from rubbing on branches. The Dacron jacket is fairly thin and will wear through. Then th
