121. [TowerTalk] bottom mount rotor (score: 1)
Author: "Jim Jarvis" <jimjarvis@verizon.net>
Date: Tue, 19 Sep 2006 07:31:20 -0400
You guys are missing the point, here. If you put the rotor at the bottom of the tower, for easy access, you DO NOT want a heavy, rigid mast. What you want is something light enough that it's going to

Author: "Jim Jarvis" <jimjarvis@verizon.net>
Date: Tue, 03 Oct 2006 03:15:38 -0400
There is a good white paper on the subject of OCF dipoles on the YCCC website, yccc.org. 160M OCF dipoles will exhibit resonances in all amateur bands, through 10M, as shown in that paper. Typically,

<snip> I have two trees on my property. They are 195' apart. I am thinking of an OCF dipole with 45' and 90' legs with a 6:1 autotransformer at the feedpoint connected to 50 ohm coax (buckmaster styl

126. [TowerTalk] Insurance, and tower as "accessory structure" (score: 1)
Author: "Jim Jarvis" <jimjarvis@verizon.net>
Date: Sat, 07 Oct 2006 22:42:34 -0400
This is a question of contract law. Your insurance agent has the contract in front of him. It MAY specify that accessory structures are attached to the house. Then, again, would a back yard shed be c

I was told by my Allstate agent that if I want it covered by my homeowners policy any claims will be paid as depreciated value; not replacement value. He recommended a separate policy ("rider") at re

Eugene, Someone else suggested the Carolina Windom 160. I'll echo that, and expand on the suggestion. Get it made from #12 flexweave, PE insulated. Worth the extra money. Seems to tolerate being in t

Yes, it matters. Two reasons. Read below: <snip> on a vertical with elevated radials, if there are "enough" radials, does it really matter if the feedline acts as just one more radial? On my 40m vert

I got to thinking about this problem, and commented to Denny, off-reflector. There's an aspect to this which we haven't considered: Tampering with the guys is a threat to personnel aloft. Should some

Author: "Jim Jarvis" <jimjarvis@verizon.net>
Date: Tue, 10 Oct 2006 18:37:42 -0400
There is a slippery slope in our language concerning slopers. Pun intended. Sloping 1/2 wave dipoles behave like dipoles, with perhaps some reflection or absorption from the tower behind. Or reflecti

During my research for OCF dipoles, I have read about some horror stories of dipoles breaking or coming apart due to the stress of wind, weight and other factors. Especially I've heard that the carol

There's what you CAN do, What you're likely to do, What makes sense to do, and what's permitted, by code, as interpreted by bureaucrats. Much as I'd like it to be otherwise, the argument for crankups

Excellent work, Brian! It's one thing to see comments in a book, estimating resonant lengths of on ground or buried radials( with caveats for 'local variables'), and quite another when the methodical

Check Radioworks. They had 1m long jumpers for reasonable prices, in RG8X, some time ago. Price didn't seem out of whack, when I bought 'em, but I no longer remember what I paid. Molded connectors &

For an equilateral, 1 lambda delta loop, you can find a 50 ohm, vertically polarized, solution by feeding the loop 1/3 up from one of the bottom corners. They work reasonably well. I doubt they'll ou
