Does anyone there have experience with internet access and remote control of any HF equipment? Please contact me, personal e-mail: rodman@buffalo.edu and many thanks. David J. Rodman, MD Assistant Cl
I put up a single dipole for a proposed 4 Square dipole array. Top about 135' and 3-4 ft away from top of tower and bottom is about 40' I did not feed the RG8X towards tower, but let it dangle and go
I went through this before but without the variance situation. Comments: First, by charging or "collecting" an administrative permit for $883, the town is telling you in official language they do not
My 40M4 by M2 was noted to have a broken TIC ring mount early March. The mount was temporarily repaired while we waited for the weather to break. The rigger came back and with a gin pole on the top o
I have had some experience detuning a tower. In my case, I discovered my tower was acting as a reflector element for my apex up delta loop antenna which was adjacently located. I modeled the system,
I used a particularly calm warm night to accomplish a night climb and calibrate a rotor on one of my towers. Without dwelling on the fact that this was not a particularly fun or thing I would endorse
Jose, I have had some experience looking at what you propose. Many people do this. I found the interaction between antennas in close proximity too much for my liking and physically too hard to put up
I have a measured different resonance curves and corresponding VSWR for my 80m dipole array depending on which antennas I select. For example, the antennas are oriented NE, SE, SW, and NW. I have two
I have used lots of ICE products. I would be sure to seal connectors with cold shrink tape, plasti-dip or liquid electrical tape. Wired connections should be treated with some liquid protective coati
I have 8 rings and have experienced many many failures of various items over the last 12 years. The potentiometers tend to last a few years then start to have eratic feedback problems, in my experien
Steve, have you physically inspected the ring for damage? I have eight rings and I have seen lots of problems over the years. Last year the cradle of one antenna broke and the antenna almost twisted
Mike, I have designed, matched and built many HF yagis, including a 20/15m interlaced yagi over 15 years ago. Computers were not that sophisticated then and their use was rather new and programs were
Hi, I need to troubleshoot my 4Square. One of my dipoles probably has a bad feed point. I decided to replace the 4 W2DU current baluns with direct feed points and #43 material ferrite cores on the fe
I only want to discuss returning disputed items. My point has nothing to do with Tower Talk or either party in the previous discussion. At one point, I purchased a radio from a vendor on eBay. The ve
Martin, if I read your post correctly, you did not mention about ice/snow or precipitation problems. All you mention is cold and the rotor works in slightly warmer temps. Maybe it is a stretch to thi
Hi, I believe that my station is the most complex full featured internet control station anywhere. The project started when I had a high voltage short at my house which took out half of my ham equipm
