So this is a MW AM-BC tower static drain choke: Looks to be their TC300 Lighting choke, triple winding 110/220VAC @15A So, is it reasonable to think that I might use this, perhaps modified to siphon
Mike: Someone didn't read closely and wrote assuming you were using mercury vs Galinstan. The concept is fascinating, sort of a liquid SteppIR beam! Questions: 1. How quickly does the Galinstan heat
Craig, Other than that you stock the ICE devices in your business ;-) is there any compelling reason to prefer them over the Polyphaser, please? I have been unable to discover any reasonable way to t
Perhaps one of the other smaller Ham companies will pick up the line? Or maybe the MFJ giant will? Or maybe there is a really big Ham club somewhere to whom they may donate the technology as a tax w
My suggestion was that a business owner who found himself unable to locate a buyer might choose to make a donation to a non-profit as a tax write-off rather than have the technology disappear from th
Used elevated anchors on two legs at our former QTH. On one I used a tall propane tank with the top sawed off (Be careful doing that!) set in a 3' x 3' x 5' hole filled with concrete. Inside the tank
Perfect! That will help as I try to set up my tower for 160M vertical use. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks! & 73, doc kd4e {| /\ {| / \ {| / \ {| / @ \ {| ==\ # h
Was it "do not weld" or "it is unnecessary to weld"? In the second case then it would be "if you choose to weld this is the correct method". WDYT? -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
I seem to recall that they are available at auto parts stores (I forget for what they are used), hardware stores (our local independent stocks them & I believe they are at Lowes & Home Depot) and app
Here is an Amateur Radio DTV Group: http://groups.yahoo.com/group/dtv-ham/ Let's take the discussion here -- it is an exciting new mode! doc _______________________________________________ __________
Joe, I have two of these, one an old Heathkit, the other a TopTen. I believe that the Heath ships 30V out to the switches. The current model Top Ten uses 12vdc: http://www.qth.com/topten/sixway.htm -
Can't help as I am just thinking of doing the same with the collection of remote antenna switch stuff I just uncovered in a box. TopTen Remote Antenna Switch Box (antenna end only, no controller) Hea
Is it fair to generalize that proximate objects will almost always detune an antenna to a higher frequency? Or are there standard rules of thumb which help to ID when that is expected or not? doc --
Sorry, was distracted by a 3yr old ... not to say that my attention span is any better at times! I should have asked if proximity to solid objects typically lowers the frequency of resonance and inc
Unless or until the tube takes a blow which compromises its relatively thin (compared to the rod) thickness -- it is less likely to resist the impact thus denting and becoming more prone to collapse
I have been given a 19' Lightning Sail boat. The hull is sound but it will need considerable attention before it is seaworthy. The mast is a tall metal construction. Anyone done anything with such a
Anyone applied a similar mod to a Heath SA-2550 remote tuner? I hope to deploy mine shortly and might as well make any mods now. -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks!
Ah, Bill, now fess-up! Y'alls moving to KH6 'cause you want to be a "rare one" instead of one of the bazillion Florida stations. Are you going to change to a KH6 call or operate K4XS Portable KH6? ;
Or perhaps a small radar cannon? Now that would be a fun toy! Anyone have a surplus one they'd like to part with cheap? ;-) -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Thanks! & 73
This raises an interesting regional question. Some regions are more prone to severe storms with high winds that throw things around. Those flying objects have a propensity to mess with guy wires and
