After drilling down 12 pages on a Google search of "Delhi tower Canada specification", the closest I can find was a post here by K7LXC. Where can one find the manufacturer's specifications for this t
VE4XT chipped in with this: Let's consider what is there to be the specifications for their products. Although I believe this thread is about their DMX, DXMD, DXHD & DMX-B products, I see something a
W6RMK concluded, in engaging K8LX: Probably another good point, right along with N4NM's. Trying to stay away from K8LX's largely (I believe) academic point that guying has the potential to increase t
NM5G added: <snip> I'll do the climbing. I may no longer be willing to face away from the tower in order to reach a loose bolt out on a boom 70m up & I doubt I would be willing to do any of the thing
K9OM posted: This sounds like my station. "Any power level over 75 watts usually causes the rig to lock up at full power" - do you mean that talking into the mic it goes squirrelly on its own after r
K9YC added: Good point - though for all the radios to have a pin 1 problem is a little odd (though if it is another device that's locking up, maybe it has a pin 1 problem itself). With attention paid
GM3SEK added: Good point, though being so close I can get away with just doing things to suspect cables, as it's bound to help. Because I can't properly insulate the base of the roof tower & it's cou
K9YC continued: <snip> Luckily, I'm still using the same serial card from way back that seems to be okay. Computer sound is certain to be a problem & so far so good, I've been okay as-is for just rec
WA2GIN asked: This is done here at UHF for TV. I used to live in an area where Gov't policy prevented sufficient coverage (land grant depends on population served), so remote villages rely on back-to
K8RI added: And unlike sheets of corrugated tin used for roofing in 9M6, the construction of a caravan could result in lots of places for nasties to come from. If this is going on, there's a chance o
I once put a tribander in a tree for someone who fed it with 75-ohm hardline of some sort (left over from a big 6m array that had been in the tree). At the antenna end, it was a relatively simple mat
W8JI added: I can confirm that. For the first time ever, I have an elevated HF2 some distance away from the shack (as in not within three meters of operating position - more like a quarter-wave at 80
N0AH described his radials, ending with: Paul, every time I see you drive by, I honk & wave, but you don't seem to notice. I have seen at least a half dozen different cars around here with an "NOAH"
K8DO added on query about merit of longer radials on (or in ground) folded back when in a tight space: I would imagine that chap had good soil conductivity, especially some distance away. First two m
Sort out the routing of the feeder & as W8AEF has noted, make sure the TV stuff is all done right. Grounding may make things worse. I feed my telly with off-air VHF & UHF signals far under 60~80 dBuV
W2ML suggested: No, it's 4.433something Mc. ;^) Even when I do feed 3.579something Mc burst video into me telly, no TVI - even if I'm on 80m. Don't think I have anything that isn't */* system (B-thro
A little late - sending again just to see if contesting.com will accept QTC from my ISP yet. _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers
Are bazooka baluns forgiving enough that one can just slide a 1/4-wave of braid on the feeder, join things up appropriately & that's it? Does one assume the save velocity factor as for the feeder its
K8RI asked, in contemplating sharing his antennas between two operating positions in the house: Bog standard relays, selected based on W8JI's tips. These relays are used for antenna switching matrixe
I believe N6RK has posted in the past his use of latching relays to band switch a LF vertical - perhaps close to what PA4N is thinking of doing? Getting power out to a relay like that is pretty easy,
