Sorry, meant "35G" Does anyone have documentation for this tower? I called Rohn, they don't have it any more. Tower was produced exclusively for Motorola years ago, there are a number of them around.
I have limited options for placing my 40' tower and tribander at my QTH. One of them is next to the 2 story house very near the 33' chimney. Am wondering if anyone has experience...soot affecting rot
Suppose the only thing burned are those store-bought duraflame fire logs? John KK6PLG To: towertalk@contesting.com Subject: [TowerTalk] Fwd: Antenna near chimney - bad idea? Message-ID: <14e45ea4da6-
Is anyone aware of a source for direct burial rotator control cable? 73, John / AI6LY _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing
Should the mast section that is inside the tube of the tower top section be lubricated? For example on a Rohn 25 without thrust bearings. If so, wet or dry lube? John / AI6LY ________________________
It's not necessary to weld rebar. Concrete is strong under compression, weak under tension. That's why the rebar is positioned near the perimeters of the tower base form, not in the middle or at the
I acquired a nice length of Decibel Products VB-8, am interested to determine if it's good and how to terminate it. Before I removed the old weathered connectors I checked with my antenna analyzer an
Does anyone have experience with Times LMR400-LLPL black jacket cable as feedline to yagi on rotator? This cable has low density PTFE tape dielectric and I'm wondering how it holds up with repeated f
Does the same process of estimation for adjustment of element length apply to coil-loaded yagis as for, say, wire or other dipoles? I.e., in which one takes the percentage of measured frequency above
I'm attempting to characterize an antenna coil. I have a meter than can measure at 100kHz, which indicated L = 13uH and Rs = 0.322 and Q = 25. Those would indicate X(L) = 8.17 ohms at 100kHz. The val
I saw the comments about the low Q coils on the 402-CD, and had heard similar comments about similarly constructed coils, which got me thinking about the ones on my 2L 40M yagi and wondering (again)
I'm getting ready to make another, hopefully the last, adjustment on the reflector length of my 2 element 40M coil loaded short boom yagi. Looking for recommendations or calculation methodology to op
Try Norm's Fab, W8TTH. He made a nice hinged base for my "35", also the guy bracket and rotator plate. He has dimensions for the "35", aka Rohn HG. Interestingly, my Z-braces are in the reverse direc
Can anyone recommend a shipper for 10-foot tower sections? _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.
Nice overview. I have a Ham-II -- not much difference between models. Old ones can be updated by replacing the ring gear with a stainless steel one, replacing the ball bearings and race sleeves, lubr
I got a launcher called the AirBoss, made by KR4LO. Shoots a 2 oz. weight attached to fishing line. Will let you know how it works after I try it this week. See http://www.kr4loairboss.com/ 73, John
Norms Fab is not difficult to deal with. It's a one man shop so they are not able to respond or deliver quickly. If you aren't in a hurry, Norm does a fabulous job of fabrication and the price is rig
I thought I had this figured out, but maybe not. My tower has the same dimensions as the Rohn HW (the "Motorola Contract Tower"), except that the cross bracing goes in the opposite direction. A fello
Wondering if anyone has a couple of Stauff clamps for 2" tube they would part with (or knows of a distributor that will sell small quantities). Looking for the polyamide standard series version with
