It is tough if you have never installed a tower before or have no one you can ask, because you will get no help from USTOWERS for sure, do buy Steve's book though, it will be a great help and could e
If you live in California Bungee cord will last about three months before it turns to the equivalent of wet paper and falls apart. Mike Never used bungee cord with antenna rope on trees. How long doe

If you really get stuck email me off the group 73, de Mike K6BR http://www.k6br.net Larry, Having added switches to 3 different LM-470's I found that there are several locations and ways to do it.
A 2 element Steppir would be the way that I would go, and then if you did not get the neighbor complaints that you expect after a year or so, I would then add the third element. That's the great thin
Sounds like the upper switch is stuck closed, did you check its operation with a meter? Mike, K6BR I have just about finished my re-furbishing and installation of my LM-470 tower. I was working with
A lot of Pipe is soft and made to be bent, conduit, some SS pipe etc. I was told that tubes are for structure, that is they are made to be strong structurally. Pipes are for transfer of liquids are a
I thought that the tilt over winch for the LM-470 Tower was a Fullerton 2550, at least that is what came with my LM-470 tilt over fixture. It is hard work to pull the tower up from its 8' horizontal
There is a link at the bottom of all TT emails, it is pretty simple to follow link and then prompts and unsubscribe. Mike Please unsubscribe me too. Or let me know how too. ________________________
Bill, You might check up, but the recommended cable specification has changed on the LM-470. When I re-cabled mine the cable recommended by Tashjian was 1/4", now this is the bit I can't remember and
Who the heck cares, enough with the Rohn Catalog thing. Next, everyone will be reporting their Morning Bowel Movements. Don't you people have anything useful to do? Mike Mine came today via Priority

I would think about a Steppir 3 element Yagi with the 30/40 dipole, it performs as good or better than other four element beams on 20, 15, 10 meters. The Steppir performs much better on 17 and 12 met
Tape them over with something like Scotch 88. The boots should not crack in one year, even if they are exposed to the sun. If your Steppir is only one year old telephone Steppir and they will replace
I have monitored the Steppir group from the beginning and can't remember one Stepper Motor failure and personally know six people with Steppir antennas. Stepper Motors are just about the most reliabl

I know what you meant, that's why I put a smiley after my rumor comment. I was making clear that the Stepper motor is a reliable technology and certainly not new and something to worry about. I am su
I have a problem with the motorized winch control with the LM-470. Does anyone have a schematic of the electrical wiring control they could send me. An electronic copy would be great, but I would be
