Hello all: I have an installed Tashjian tower, which I guess used to be Tri-Ex. It is a 70 ft 4 section nesting tower. I have purchased a Hy-Gain Tailtwister II rotator which--OOPS!-- looks as though
To all who responded, many thanks! Skip, I would love to see a picture, if it is convenient. Again, thanks to all. Rusty, na5tr Rusty, You can use the T2X in the LM-470, if that is the model you have
You might want to use J-bolts, and make sure you use a structural steel cage inside the concrete base, perhaps. And do ground it well. Lots of discussion on the reflector. GL, Rusty, na5tr __________
Is there a convenient sousrce for copper strap or copper plate? Home Depot has the copper tubing I reckon. Thanks, Rusty, na5tr _______________________________________________ _______________________
I haven't asked or tried, but is there any chance Karl Tashjian might be willing to supply properly sized (to order) cables professionally prepared, for a price? _____________________________________
So are you saying that the concrete base with the tower legs embedded in it is already a good ground for the tower itself? (Not asking about the leads, etc.) Thanks, Rusty, na5tr ____________________
Question from a dummy: Is highway salt manufactured, that is does it add to the amount of salt on the earth, or is it simply a redistribution from there (good) to here (bad)? In other words is salt b

So for this dummy, for a given height and load, in the 60 to 80 foot range, does the guyed tower still retain its cost advantage when you factor in the extra anchor points with the steel in them and
Bracketing gives a longer lever arm and helps prevent the short lever arm of the base from being levered over by the entire tower height. In effect the support arm is now much longer, and the bending
For those who have already installed their crankups, this idea will not work. But if you are in the original layout phase, this might help. I designed the house where my main station is with a roof p
Hello All: I am curious about the substantial and tall light poles seen along interstates and various interchanges. They look to have internal cables, both mechanical and electrical, and could be in
Many thanks to all those who sent answers. Several sent specific price thoughts, which were that the highway light poles, as well as the BIG flagpoles, are just too expensive to use in Ham Radio. Aft
Thanks to all for their thoughts, both on and off the reflector. Except for Utility company surplus yards, it appears as though those light poles are expensive and big enough to be unusable at (my) h
Possibly a rental cherry picker from a local rental yard would be a good idea. If you want to rent one for perhaps a couple of hours max, you might be able to go and offer them a cut rate rental fee
I have the Tashjian 4 section 72' motorized crankup, with 18 feet of .25" wall 2" mast sticking out the top, either 2 or 3 antennae mounted, depending. Even fully nested, the antennas are good for ca
Perhaps "Threshhold Sensitivity"? Similar to "Squelch"? "Loop Gain" implies it could have been a manual Direction Finder, in common use in the 1942 era. 73, Rusty, na5tr -- Original Message -- From:

So what city and state is this? I may need ta MOOVE! 73, Rusty, na5tr _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@
I would be very reluctant to challenge a politically entity which allows a given tower height by putting up that height of tower, as we understand the meaning, with mast and antennas up higher. Why m
