...Came in late to your discussion, but for permanent use (like to stay in place for a few years or more), consider two-piece clamp-on shaft collars. These are available in steel, stainless steel, al
Another good way to provide drainage yet prevent critters from taking up residence is to install a PVC "street tee" (use a reduction one if the main conduit is large, e.g., 4" to 2") to drain into th
Fiber to the home is indeed a bit more difficult but fiber to the curb is doable. The concepts for this have been around for years - I know - it was discussed when I still worked in the R&D Photonics
Seems to me that six acres is a fairly decent amount of property for neighbors to find complaints about. I am assuming that the siting would still fulfill setback provisions, etc., thus the only comp
Not specifically reflector issue, but relevant to subscribers. Suggest giving your ISP a call and ask about their AV scanning (if they have one). While I have Norton installed here, my ISP scans *all
Try: <http://www.mcmaster.com/> Type "winch" in search; they have 4 pages on hand winches. I bought a vy good worm gear winch from them at a very reasonable $$. 73, Tom - WA2BPE
Gentlemen: This is slightly off subject - or is it(?) - since towers/antennas often require welding. I am looking for the circuit diagram for a NAPA 83-315 MIG welder (or similar). My mechanic (who a
Assuming it worked at one time, either you have developed a high resistance in the cable to the rotator or the cap is bad. Don't bother with one of the "usual" whimpy caps usually found, use a rugged
I do not have much acquaintance with the Force 12 products, but am wondering if the pop rivits shipped with a new beam are the closed end (sealed) type. This could explain *some* of the cost differen
Step drills do a very nice job and are a huge timesaver - as long as you don't force them. Also, I would be careful using them on steel - lightly and not fast seems to be the key; let the drill do th
While 95' would be "acceptable" by most, there are for many people and circumstances where it is certainly much too low. In New York State, depending on where you are, there can be serious problems w
Kindly go to <http://www.hudson.arrl.org/> , scroll down, click on and everyone please read the proposed bill. It *does* say 95' - (paraphrasing) "...not less than...". There is indeed the issue of s
Good idea but you had better check your soil percolation first. In my (specific) location, the topsoil is 0 to 6" with a high clay content followed by shale/rock and/or clay. Drainage is almost nil.
I have used "standard" N connectors with 9913; I prefer the "B" instead of the "D" version as the rubber gasket is wider and spreads the pressure of the gasket. As far as the center pin goes, one can
McMaster-Carr has a good assortment of winches available; braking and non-braking. What I prefer, is the worm gear variety; supurb control + absolute braking (unless you break it). Try pp.1092-1095 o
I am in the process of setting up this exact thing to remotely adjust a tuner using multiple screwdrivers and a simple NTSC video camera/monitor to monitor the settings - KISS approach. It would be b
Gentlemen: A fellow HAM in Sweden is looking for accessories/detectors, etc. for a Philco-Sierra 164B (AN/URM-120) wattmeter. I have offered to post the request here for him. Specifically, he is look

I have seen this "problem" at Rochester too - but luckily only with a few. It seems that some have forgotten (or never knew) the "art" of bargaining and some sellers (both commercial & tailgaters) ha
