I have a wiring diagram for my LM-470 motor and switching arrangement that I can provide via e-mail. (It includes a remote switch arrangement which I have added.) You may find it useful. Let me know.
No, but..... I believe that there's no magic to the construction of the base. If you can get the proper drawings and specs (and I may have them here; I just have to look), you can have a local welder
I'll wager the Wireman has them. 73, Joe K2XX _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http://li
Jim, I was also given one of these Yagis many years ago and converted it to a single driven element with a coaxial stub beta match. It is tuned for the low end of 2M. IIRC, there was very little modi
Fred, I had a similar problem with the motor on one of my LM-470s. On one occasion I was having some sort of problem with the motor and removed it from its mount. Water immediately poured out of it.
Yes, I took a lightning hit to my quad a while back. In addition to taking out a number of items in the shack, the tower motor was incapacitated. Although I had a spare motor for replacement, I had t
Steve, for the quantity you want, I recommend Ryerson. Ryerson's on-line catalog is available here: http://www.ryerson.com/stocklist/t-1697-Aluminum-Tubing-Round-Drawn-6061-6063.html. I believe that
I have purchased long bulkhead connectors from the Wireman in the past. He seemed to be able to supply any length you wanted, although some may be a special order. He always seems to sell high qualit

I have been told several times by Craig of C.A.T.S. rotor service that there is no difference between the Ham IV and the T2X in terms of power, torque, etc. You may want to give him a call and confir
I went through a similar search several years ago. Then I talked to a local ham here who had an insulated vertical. He recommended buying fiberglass rod about a 1/2" larger in diameter than the inner
I have two questions re this topic. Can one use a laptop or netbook rather than a tablet to control the aircraft? There appear to be high capacity batteries available for it. Has anyone tried them? I
Thanks, Dave. After reading the description, I got the impression that it was only usable with tablets, but I wanted to be sure. 73, Joe K2XX On 4/16/2013 3:19 PM, David Robbins wrote: i only see con

I can't seem to locate my spare LM-470 rotor plate. (Obviously, if I didn't need it, it would be in plain sight.) If you have one available, please please let me know price + shipping. Thanks and 73,
I have had very positive experiences on recovering ham radio losses with insurers in both NJ and VA. I have had a full replacement rider for radio related losses on my home owners' insurance for arou
I'll be vacationing on a saltwater beach and will have a chance to to set up a portable vertical antenna. Operation will probably be on 40, 30 and 20M. I have a vague recollection of reading of other
I certainly appreciated the large number of informative responses that I got to my query. It looks like the way to go is with four buried or elevated radials and the saltwater takes care of the rest.
Thanks for your warnings, Jim, Hans, Patrick and Kris. Yes, I know that elevated radials are hot. (I've had a 40M vertical here with four elevated radials.) That's why I anticipate setting the antenn
Your description seems vaguely reminiscent of a Wilson crank-up tower. I once owned a Wilson TT-45, a two section, 45' tower. I no longer have any info on Wilson towers. I'm guessing that yours is a
