321. [TowerTalk] HAM IV rotor / mast slipping / Slipp-Nott (score: 1)
Author: "Jim Thomson" <jim.thom@telus.net>
Date: Fri, 6 Apr 2012 07:07:55 -0700
The Slipp-Nott at first seems like a good idea, but as I found it can put too much stress on the rotor U-bolts. If I had thought to double-nut the U-bolts, that should have prevented the nuts from be

322. [TowerTalk] Coax (score: 1)
Author: "Jim Thomson" <jim.thom@telus.net>

There's nothing magic about LMR400 that justifies its cost for operation on the HF bands. For use below 100 MHz, Davis 213 is as good, of good quality, and a lot less expensive. For more about coax,

Author: "Jim Thomson" <jim.thom@telus.net>

RG213 is not a spec, it's a very broad generic description. There are RG213s built with thin copper braid and others with heavy copper braid. The loss in cable is a direct function of how much copper

Jim, the example compares 200ft of LMR400 to RG213. The stated difference is .358 dB/100ft for a total of .716 dB. That is a power ratio of 1.179 or 100w vs 117.9w. That is easily measured with a bir

Date: Mon, 16 Apr 2012 02:26:22 -0700
It is not necessary to coat the anchor bolts with anything. When the steel is encased in concrete it cuts of the supply of Oxygen so it doesn't rust. If steel rusted inside concrete you would have to

More like 115 or 120W vs 100W .. 5% accuracy is probably more realistic. As an example, the Telepost LP100 manual (which I happen to have here) says 5% worst case absolute, 3% typical, but doesn't sa

Jim, you are looking at the elephant through a pin hole. You build and run big power amps, and your measure of the effectiveness of a choke is that there it doesn't blow up. A string of beads on coax

I'm not sure why you would need to tighten the nuts that much. Once they're cast in concrete, nothing is going anywhere. It's not like the lower nut is going to magically fall off the end of the bolt
