HI Dick I wonder if it would be possible to just run a wire from 1 tower to the other, then match the base of one tower and load the whole thing up kinda like a half square. Might be interesting to m
You don't have to claim it at all. All they want is your bank routing number so they can route the money into your bank account :-) I"m rich--I'm rich!!!! 3 Tom W7WHY ________________________________
Hi All Due to a big windstorm that blew through last night, my antenna is now about 45 degrees off. On the back of the Daiwa CR-4 rotor box is a pot labeled "needle adjust at 360 degrees." How do I a
Hi All I sent this earlier, but didn't see it posted. Due to a big windstorm that blew through last night, my antenna is now about 45 degrees off. On the back of the Daiwa CR-4 rotor box is a pot lab
Thanks Pete. That did it. Easy when you know how :-) 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@cont
Hi Mike Here is a post from W4RNL about inserting a 75 ohm matching section in an 80 meter dipole for 2 SWR points. 73 Tom W7WHY http://lists.contesting.com/_towertalk/1997-11/msg00706.html _________

HI Dan Wouldn't that much wire radiate something?? How do you tell if the tree is radiating or just the coil. 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ ____________________________
Hi Julio On the other hand, what if someone did follow their instructions and someone got injured. Who would they go after? Nowadays, it's the 'deep pocket' syndrome--whoever has the most money will

Hi Scott Seems to me that I saw somewhere a sealer that went inside the shrink tube. Then when you heat the tubing, it shrunk and kept the sealer inside. 73 tom W7WHY ________________________________
Hi All I had to move some 20 foot pieces of aluminum home for some verticals, and I lashed it under my pickup truck, to the front and rear bumper. Worked good! 73 Tom W7WHY __________________________
To start, I'd put up the longest piece of wire as high as you can get it, then go from there. :-) 73 Tom W7WHY _______________________________________________ ________________________________________
Hi Tony et al. I think that is the best idea for a camper antenna. I have an 80 foot center fed with 300 ohm twin lead and it works great on all bands. I use a slingshot to get a line over a tree lim
Hi All Looking to put up another 40 meter antenna. Need a NVIS antenna for close-in work. Is there any reason to put up a folded dipole instead of a tuned-feeder dipole? I think when this antenna was
Hi Pete I read somewhere that if you have 2 boxes physically connected in any way, that can be a path for interference. It seems if your boxes are all connected to the same aluminum plate, that may
Hi John I had one of those on a 30 foot tower and a 2 el 20 meter monobander. Every time the wind blew, it blew the antenna which ever way the wind was blowing. Finally took it down and replaced it
I use solid wire on the 80 meter dipole here and it's been up for a long time. One thing not to do is solder the connections if possible, especially with stranded wire. Where the wire is soldered is
Hi Rob I use some bungee cords here at the bottom of my verticals. They are rubber with a cloth coating on the outside. The cloth deterioritated and it gone, but the rubber cords are still there and
