Hi Jim, Reading your below account made me feel sick, so sorry to hear about the strike. I have a US Tower model HDX572MDPL with the same basic grounding system as you have with the ground spokes run
Bill, check out the HY-Gain web page and look up the 203-BA, then down load the manual. I have never check the 203 out but most of their 20 meter monobanders have the conversing measurements in the m
Since we are moving to cable lubing/preservation I thought it would be a good time to surface my little test. In April of 2008 I decided to test some of these cable lubricating products. I decided to
I would just like to add some food for thought. I believe that UST deals with many different types of customers, military, govt. agencies, and the international market place as well. With this in min
Hi Paul, I am about to change mine out because in about a years time they are rusting. I plan on using the heavy duty U-bolt and saddles available from DXEngineering. 73 Pete N4KW ___________________
Hi Jim, Yes I have used their U bolts and saddles in a number of like applications. I am presently using 4 of their 3" Ubolts and saddles to hold my 3" boom to the boom to mast plate. The boom to mas

I would also have to say that I have had excellent service from US Tower. I had my HDX572 for a little over a year and was having a problem. I emailed them and spoke to them many times over the phone
Hi Bill, Will be looking forward to your return. I purchased mine through Florida Power. They mount it behind the electric meter. It has two led's to monitor the line which you can see. If at any poi
Kind of hard to tell if its worth it or if it works. Mine was installed by Progress Energy over three years ago. I do not recall having to pay to have it installed just the monthly fee. The two led's

Gary, Go to your local rental store and rent a "Super Sawzall" (sp) and pick up some blades, it will eat those tower legs for you. Good luck. 73 Pete N4KW Hi guys, My triex w51 crankup folded over in
Gary, Forgot to say that the "Super Sawzall" is a reciprocating saw. Last week I had to cut off a few guy anchors that were 1.25" in dia solid steel and this saw did the job in short order. Tim the t
