I'll take a din any day also and been in the telecom business about 13 yrs now and will never splice it if I don't have to. Not my cup of tea. I have for an emergency a few hundred feet up but it was
Better yet, a cell "monopine" Dave n4zkf Taking a page from "Splicing LDF4", these methods are wrong. There's only one right way. Those dirty live trees must be removed and replace with cell monopole
This method just passed Tropical storm Fay. Went thru Hurricane Charlie and two others a few years back. Might be the lazy and easy way but it works. I have the center insulator held up by a rope als
We still get smaller lengths in every day in boxes like that. Dave n4zkf --Original Message-- From: towertalk-bounces@contesting.com [mailto:towertalk-bounces@contesting.com] On Behalf Of Roger (K8RI
Exactly. You can create your own ground ring around the tower, ground the coax, polyphasers, radios, ext. But it should ALSO be tied into your service ground to eliminate the difference in potential.

I have two RG25 towers unguyed. One 15'above the roof. One 25'above the roof. 900'from the Ocean here in Daytona. Went thru three hurricanes 4 years ago and didn't miss a lick. They are still there.

Tnx. Bought an Acom 2000A I don't have in there. The most fun amp I have ever owned. XYL didn't like it though. Hi I do have great neighbors which help. Half the 75 meter wire is in his back yard and

Yes, at 900ft at 12:30PM doing a nightclimb. It saved my life. I was up 21 hours and 2 plane rides before I hit the bottom of the tower to start climbing. I had it tight as it should be and everythi
Tuff Tug http://www.tuf-tug.com/index.htm is who we use on all our towers for safety climbs. They will make one for anything. And yes, we have little bitty 25g and 45g from sites we acquired. 73 Dave
It's not like it's the most expensive piece of equipment you have for your hobby. When in doubt, just buy a new one. I probably have a half dozen laying around in my shed here collect over the years.
