Hi John. There are quite a few eHam reviews online that point to the fact that more often than not, UST is less than responsive to customer inquiries. 73, Jon Pearl - W4ABC www.w4abc.com ____________

Hi Doug. I'm not at work right now, looking at it, but I'm sure you're right about the mfg. As to the price... it's all about who's buying. MD, PD, FD. Oh and let's not forget HD. That's Harley David

Hi Steve, et. al... I've been following this thread with interest. I have long disliked CoaxSeal for the very reasons you have described. Three years ago I threw a new project up in the air and was a

I did exactly the same thing a few years back, Roger. A buddy of mine who was a machinist in a plastics shop, acquired some Delrin plate scraps for me to use. I roughly formed the pieces into a coupl

My first crank-up and tilt over tower was an EZ-Way. I bought it second hand when I was 18 years old and deposited in my parents backyard. Some years later when I was living in a home of my own, I we

Hi Mike. The Fulton K1550 will probably work nicely in your 'tilt' application. Some folks have been known to swap out their weather beat and worn K1550 with the heftier K2550 for hoisting the larger
