Correct. I am still contemplating a tower in the yard. As I cannot get on up this year at all, I figured on the big vertical as I want to try SOMETHING this year, and this is it. Yes - I know the cab
Golly, fellas, this is only going to traverse 50 feet of my back yard. The only traffic it gets is Jose and his mower, a few marauding neighbor kids, and a squirrel I would like to zap. Just in case

That is perfect. Just perfect. You know how the ad in the paper will read... "Used Tower... good condition, no issues... " == James -K8JHR == == _______________________________________________ ______
I am repeatedly intrigued how many hams will disregard the manufacturer's design and specifications, in favor or some some well-intentioned, and often commonsensical, alternative solution. Or how the
Doug -- Thank you, as your post proves my point. Yes, of course it is only my opinion. We all have opinions around here, and they all have varying relative merit. Mine suffer more than most at times
Well... shoot... No, actually, I was trying to make a different point, namely, that one should not deviate from manufacturer's specifications, and I was not intending to discuss tower design, per se.
As a lawyer in a former life ... who has actually represented product manufacturers, and who has also sued tower manufacturers and won... I KNOW there is more to it than just avoiding legal claims. T
Howdy -- Anyone have any tips or good instructions for installing PL-259s and / or Times Microwave coax connectors on LMR 400 DB - solid core, direct burial coax cable? Also, what to do with the icky
Really ?!?!!! Do you think it is a good idea to tin the braid before I put a connector over / on it? == James - K8JHR == == _______________________________________________ ___________________________
Golly Craig, I read your message twice, and I still am not sure what advice you offer. How does this post help me understand how to put a connector on my LMR 400 DB coax line? I am all for reading th
I hear tell shunt feeding a tower is difficult and there may be better ways to get on the bottom bands. I would figure out how the Hy-Gain folks load up the Hi-Tower AV-18HT - it is, I think, more li
I think Tom may have an idea here. One of the tech support fellows at TenTec told me that he had an AlphaDelta DX-B sloper (set to work on 160-80-40 meters) and it works real well if it is mounted on
Gee Mike... that description applies to a great many antenna designs. Happy trails and good luck. == Richards - K8JHR == == == _______________________________________________ ________________________
Oh great! So what do I do if I don't have a tower...? == Richards- K8JHR == _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list Towe
Shoot, Gene.... I wish I had a snappy answer to that. Happy trails. == Richards - K8JHR == == _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk
I wonder about your situation - setup... You say you have 47 feet of window line feeder... Hmmmm... that would put it, at best, only 47 feet above ground, assuming the center of your dipole is exactl
Did you check the wire elements for continuity? If you are using insulated wire, there could be a break in one of the side elements and that could mess up your SWR ratings. Same for a break in the fe
I will send you one if you send me a private email with your address... and promise to send me a photo of it in the air as consideration for the exchange. I think you are really good centerpieces. De
