What Steve suggests is doubly true for Tri-ex towers like the LM-470 as even when they are cranked all the way down the two top section are never truly down on stops, they are by design still hanging
John, I would defiantly shell out the 1500 bucks, it will be hard to crank that size of tower up by hand. Plus if you change your mind in the future you will pretty much have no chance that US Tower
Grainger will be sure to have the switch, just get the manufacturer number if you can or match up visually, all have drawings and photo plus dimensions. Although still expensive at Grainger they will
Looks like and old Tri-ex 55 foot, it has the Tri-ex bolt pattern bolted to the Tri-ex cut off rebar ears that have been welded to a T-plate similar to a US tower mount. It looks to be three sections
Yup it does have four sections, must be my eyes: -) It is using the Tri-ex style rebar mounts which I have seen people use before when they have cut off the original and welded to a T-base so that it
Nice photos and description Roger, it does not look like a job for the Faint of Heart though : -) Mike, K6BR --Original Message-- what the apart the Rebuilding the old style PST-61 http://www.rogerha
I think our power limits are way better than yours in the UK (400 watts). We only have 200 watts on 30 meters though, except when working VP8ORK and then it appears many can run at least 1500 watts ;
Works fine for me within seconds, all posts from Wisconsin are moderated Who is the moderator or ruler of this list ? Why is it my replies don't come out on this reflector till hours later .... shees
I would try and check the pulley's, I can't imagine any of the sections would get bent in a 70 MPH wind with such light loading antenna wise. If it did we are all in trouble hi hi. Mike, K6BR My HG70
Because all the owners are SK's and whoever inherits the place just wants it gone and don't care who takes it down as long as it's gone so they can sell the house. Happened a lot in Lodi near me. Mik
That?s bad news, this could mean no more free hard-line and connectors from the cell phone companies. Mike vaguely topical: http://arstechnica.com/gadgets/news/2011/02/lightradio-hideous-cell-towers-
And I worry about having a 3 element Steppir and 7 element 6 meter beam 10 feet over the top of a 70 foot crank up. Which at that height I figure is equal to the 17 square feet that the LM-470 is sup
Some of my top section cables are rusty colored on the outside and I sleep at night because I check them regularly, my measure of how bad it is: 1. Is the cable with rust still as flexible as a new c
No replies from the original poster, Group Troll ?? discharged? That sounds like one of the old country, open wire telephone lines...or a fence. 73 Roger (K8RI) ______________________________________
I can Guarantee you that the OWL will not work. I have a very large Hawk that that comes zooming out of the sun and picks a small bird off the antenna in the morning. The little birds scatter for all
Either or, if real live bird of prey who has just devoured one of their buddies does not cut it, a static plastic replica is not going to do the trick. Mike Maybe they know Owls prefer mice? 73 Roger
You are dead right it is a "tunable "monobander" and in a classification of its own really, so nothing to compare with. Even on 20 meters a three element Steppir has hardly has anything to compare wi
