"As the administrator of TT (NOT the moderator!)...." Steve..... what would be the difference between an "administrator" and a "moderator" ? Is being a "moderator not good? Jus' wundrin..... 73, Jerr
I think a longer (40M) BeCu tape and housing already exists. Could one not (eventually) obtain a "replacement" DE for a MonstIR? Perhaps that could replace a 3L or 4L DE? With a custom arrangement us
I agree. Based on past performance and a number of conversations with the Mertels, I think the folks at Fluidmotion are simply swamped with orders... and it's to their credit that they are choosing t
Of course we should all try to be balanced, unbiased, logical and objective in our comments, but achieving such lofty goals evades even the best of us at times. I wonder why more of us aren't being m
AMEN, brother, BPL is a non-issue, much ado about nothing, wasted bandwidth. Plus it's off-topic and boring here on TT. Just my 2 cents.... 73, Jerry K3BZ -- Original Message -- From: "R. Kevin Stove
You have to expect delays with ICE products from Antenna Solutions because Jay has to relay the orders to ICE and wait for them to ship. It took several weeks for my order to arrive, but ICE suppress
I would also like to know what the effect to the pattern would be for an inverted ell where the radials lie only in the 180 deg that lie directly under the horizontal element segment. This is how I h
For those with an old-style Heights aluminum tower with the tilt-over fixture, I have a freshly rebuilt and painted gearmotor with a new direction switch assembly available for $240 delivered in the
Rob, that 1 hour response from the folks at SteppIR is pretty typical of the kind of customer service they provide. You will never regret your decision to go with a SteppIR yagi, I've had mine up a y
Morel... we all know SWR is not the whole story. I will let others debate with you about the SteppIR's F/Band F/B ratios and gain figures in comparison with other antennas, as I am not all that well
Well, not to get into a big debate, but what would be the opposite of an "appliance operator's antenna"? Is it an antenna that needs constant tweaking and repairs to make it work as it should? If bei

Steve, I think you have some unreasonable expectations. FM will sell you cables with connectors installed and stand in back of their work. Or they will sell you cable and connectors so you can instal
Floyd... OK, I plead guilty. I'm a member of the SteppIR "cult". But I can assure you (because I moderate it) that the SteppIR reflector tolerates ANY and ALL comments, thoughts, questions, and sugge

I know nothing of the KQ2M-KB4IDC controversy which has been raised here, but I have bought from Robin Midgett KB4IDC and was quite satisfied with the item (an aluminum tower which is supporting my S
Now that I'm retired I have the time and a little more room to homebrew antennas and other gear. 45 Years ago, I homebrewed a lot as a teenager because I couldn't afford to do otherwise, and I still
Martin... I have a similar situation but with quite a bit more soil over the rock. I have a terrible time getting a ground rod down more than about 4 feet, so I put them in on the slant. I surrounded
