Some years ago I used the design by Jim Lawson, W2PV (who wrote a book on yagi antenna designs) extending the boom to something around 40ft. as I recall. This was a 'bit long' for 2" boom and I suffe

Often on the crankup tower reflector/group there are various ideas on how to raise and lower and how to lean over one's tower. New ideas, from 12v winches (note I said winches and not WENCHES) to gar
Not sure if they can help you but you might look to call the Dillsburg Aeroplane Works, in Dillsburg, PA. I used to buy mast material, both chrome molly steel and aluminum from them years ago when I
Those climbable masts were made by IIX Industries. http://www.w9iix.com They are still around, selling gin poles, side mounts, etc. You can also just buy the steps themselves which go onto your own m
Chris, I have read a number of these posts from 'supermen' who have put their towers up solo. Personally, I think it is not only risky but kinda silly. Why take the risk...ANY risk for the sake of th
Chris, I'm not going to drag my views out. ..their just my views. And yes, I can see issues with using a winch (better to use a WENCH) to do the lifting. Trouble is that some folks will buy a winch r
I see this antenna is advertised as usable without an antenna tuner. I have seen these used by a couple of guys and ALL needed a tuner. Not sure if the one in your radio could handle it...hard to say

Roger, I have to laugh as it is so sad what you read these days from some of the guys, isn't it? Ever look over on the classified ads on QTH.com? I love the guys that are selling DUEL band radios or
There has been a ton of talk on this subject. I myself live on a salt water canal in Florida and have tried various vertical antennas over the salt water, aside it, next to it, etc. There is so much
Getting a signal OUT is many times not the issue...you run your kilowatt or more (some guys do) and you should be heard for all practical purposes. Just make sure what you have got is working efficie
While loading some items in the van to take to Orlando on Sat, I found a ROHN 45 base plate. Should anyone need one of these I will be in the tailgate area on Sat ONLY, in a red van. If you send a no
I have read a few of the responses to this 'magic length' question but recall something I found in an older ARRL Antenna Book. I lived in the D.C. area unit 1998. West of D.C. in Manassas, Va I bough
I have a roll of rotor cable ( I would estimate at 100ft or more) with the connectors for a 2800 installed. If you are interested, contact me off list. - Mike I'm looking for the connector at the rot
Good and bad in everything I suppose. I used one on my first TH6...ran fine for about 5 years.. Then bought a TH7..used the supplied BN86 with it for 4 more years. Ran an Alpha 3 holer...76PA back th
This is the same stuff that STEPPIR supplies with their antennas. AND it does work great. You can also find it in BLACK under another name, in the plumbing department at HOME DEPOT. Sells for about $
If you look in one of the old Antenna Hand Books (perhaps even on line?), there should be an article in there on something called the PVRC Mount. I used these years ago when I was in Virginia on my t
