I couldn't agree with you more. In fact, I would encourage folks to vote 'for' the candidate of their choice and not against anyone or any 'thing'. It may be that the guy you select is flawed, but t
Mike: I have been through the same consideration -- with a KT34XA in Minnesota and a TH7DXX in Idaho. I do not have an absolute solution, however I will share with you what I plan to do in Idaho this
John's post a few back mentions the articles I was trying to cite but could not remember since the paper copies are in Idaho. I suspect that those who wish can find a source of these excellent papers
John wrote, " ... and the add When I read John's outline of the force analysis it joggled my memory. In April of 2002 I had read the three papers John mentions. I discussed them with Lyle, K0LR, and
A few days ago I said that I would load some pictures showing the wind effect on a beam which had a single element at one end of the boom and where the boom was mounted so that the mast (pivot) went
Let me start by telling a true story. A very long time ago I was taking a college math class which had an instructor who was more focused on proving that those of us in the class were intellectually
Quite a while back, when this reflector was discussing subjects somewhat close to antennas, towers and receiving HF signals, Bob wrote the following, I happen to have an MFJ-1026 and happen to have r
As one of those who started using Sideband in 1955 I want to assure you that the complainers did more than just talk about SSB guys. For a long time SSB guys on 75 meters were only allowed to operat
The Sevick books have elaborate, complex arithmetic equations [imaginary number plane] which allow one to calculate what might happen to the reactive part of the impedance. Tod, KØTO _________
This clip seems to demonstrate that when towers come down they don't fall into your neighbor's yard. _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supportin
You guys are so serious I am afraid to submit any comments on your comments. Clearly it was a carefully planned and controlled demolition. I never thought anyone would take my comment even slightly o
Jim: As I understand it WD-40 is very similar to a light weight diesel fuel. I am sure it is a petroleum based product. I would have expected it to have some lubricating properties . Could you or som
I have been impressed by the number and variability of the responses to my query about WD-40 as a lubricant. This morning, in Idaho Falls, ID, I had an opportunity to speak with one of the DOE scient
Mark did not mention it, but in Section XII (Ingredients/Identity Information) three components are listed. See URL below. 1. Stoddard Solvent ( >50%) 2. Petroleum Base Oil (>15%) 3. LPG [Liquefied P
The official definition of "old" is: Anyone who is ten years older than your current age. The definition of 'young punks' is anyone who is then years younger than your current age. As the saying goes
I know this thread is way off topic but until Steve catches us: Tom's response reminds me of a cartoon that was in the Minnesota Daily when I was an undergraduate there. In the cartoon you have an ob
Jim (and Jim) Those values look like they are within about 2% of expected values for the R and within 20% or so on the X. Is the analyzer accuracy any better than that if there is NO coax between the
In the end it is transferring power to the antenna that counts. Unless the VSWR is awfully high and/or the line length is very long I think it is quite stuffiest to put a tuning network at the statio
I made some measurements that were to be used to design BN86 replacement units. I looked at some type 30 material that many folks across the US acquired recently in a "Big Buy" and compared it with t
