Nope. It "weighs" only 100# at your end (the end you pull on). The beam still has to support the entire weight of the load, plus the pull force. 73 Mike N2MG _________________________________________
I don't recall reading anything in which the author advocated arranging the mechanical advantage between the worker and the ginpole. I don't see why anyone would *want* to set it up this way - the wo

Is there anyway to "prove" that a hunk of 1/4" cable is EHS? I recently became the "proud" owner of ~1000 feet of unused 1/4" guy wire. The spool that it was on had no visible identification - howeve
Check. It has the same twist as the EHS I already own - but I couldn't say right from left WRT twist. Does "lefthand twist" mean the strands twist to the left (CCW) as I look into the end of the cabl
Personally, I would avoid using aluminum in a situation like a mast that sticks out far above a tower. The aluminum "work hardens" (I'm sure there's a scientific term for this) with time as it bends
Plus, then, you can unplug it when you don't require AC at the tower. Good for: safety, lightning. 73 Mike N2MG ________________________________________________ PeoplePC: It's for people. And it's j

One of most common thrust bearings is the Rohn TB-3 http://www.texastowers.com/rohntb.htm You can see that it has three "set" screws. Without three (or four) the mast would, by definition, not be cen
The HAMIV and T2X brakes all make lots of noise. They are easy to hear at night from quite far away. Not much you can probably do about it. (When standing outside at a contest multi-op, the clanking
Hint for dealing with MFJ/HyGain/Ameritron: Don't use email. Call them on the phone. A year ago I needed something from them (HyGain part) so I emailed them, waited and waited, then called them - the
