Yes be careful and think out every move before you make it. No rushing or working when you are tired. Mark N1UK G3ZZM _______________________________________________ _________________________________
Interesting, thank you Jerry I am able to read all the pages with no problems. So the concept is called GAYE. Guy as You Erect. Quite ingenious with locking sections. Mark N1UK ______________________
The pdf got stripped off but could you send it to me. I would be interested. I am using a 160m dipole fed with ladder line and it works very well on 30m. 73 Mark N1UK ________________________________
Hi Tony I have something similar. Is that a 160m dipole. I have about 126 feet I think on either side of the center insulator, fed with 450 wire open wire feeder and then a choke balun and about 20 f
I have one of those too. I expect to see coils and capacitors inside. Maybe one of the capacitors started to fail short circuit or one of the coils started to open up. There could be a bad connection
Page 8-9 of ON4UN's Low Band DX'ing book shows the construction of a wide band dipole for 80m Mark N1UK _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________
I know what you mean. I had a home made gin pole and it wasn't easy to slide the pole down within the clamp, so like you I was trying to get the gin pole in position with the securing clamp near the
Yes that was what I figured. A single 12 inch diameter plastic pipe with the ladder line suspended in the middle or else convert from ladder line to coax for the pipe run and then back again at the o

A nice 80m 4 square using Rohn 45 sections, so no guy wires would be a good start. A 40m 4 square and also that big monster Steppir at 120 feet. Maybe a 4 square receiving array. Oh and why not somet

Hi Art, I would be very interested in seeing how you engineered your pipe, if you don't mind sending me the pictures. 73 de Mark N1UK -- Original Message -- From: <atrampler@att.net> To: "Richards" <

I wouldn't use a 4:1 balun, (if you are converting to coax near the shack) since the open wire feeder is likely to be terminated at the antenna end with an impedance other than 400 ohm resistive. Thi
This will show you your input impedance if you know your antenna input impedance and transmission line length http://www.vk1od.net/tl/tllc.php _______________________________________________ ________
