1. [TowerTalk] Force12 EF240X loading line measurement (score: 1)
Author: "Larry" <lknain@nc.rr.com>

I have misplaced my instructions for my EF240X. I had to rebuild it after one element fell off and getting down and unbalanced antenna was a bit tough on the other element. I am looking for the start

Thanks Tom. I had forgotten about the opposite mounting. I thought there was something in the text about where the tuning jumper was supposed to go as a start and that is not on the drawing that I co

I got a note from Mark (the new owner of Force12) with the info I needed. The ref jumper is nominally 22 inches from the support. The DE is about 30 inches for 7.050. Thanks all. ____________________

Good advice. I left the original cable clamps on the first year but they were too much trouble and switched to stainless steel for my EF240X and 80m rotatable dipole.The stainless steel ones have bee

I believe it was the Polyphaser book that suggested that ground rods should be spaced no more than twice the length of the ground rod. So, for common 8 foot ground rods the spacing should be not more

As I recall having the rods too close was less effective in its ability to dissipate the strike charge. It wasn't a pure resistance idea although that is also a consideration. It has been awhile sinc

I use a Kenpro KR2000 (built before Yaesu bought out Kenpro rotators) which is essentially the same as G2800DXA and I have always used a standard rotator plate with it on 25G, 45G, and other towers.

The spacer washers that come with the rotator are about 3/16" thick - thicker than a normal flat washer. I don't think it matters so much for the mast bracket. It does matter if you put the rotator o
