Closing on nine acres in Pipe Creek, Texas (just north of San Antonio) early next week. Took a while to find, but with some remodeling, the house will work great and the view is 50 miles long. At 180
Many clubs also have them, so they are around to borrow. Check around you - you might be surprised. mike k5wmg _______________________________________________ ________________________________________
Thanks to a very nice member of this list, I recently obtained the pdf file for the Rohn 25 and 45 foldover tower. Does anyone know if there is still a manufacturer out there that makes some of the p
Pretty much has to be the tuner. Either needing a jumper or something wrong with it. ANt should tune just fine. Michael Goins, k5wmg Professor, Writing University of Texas at San Antonio Please do no
Probably rhombics carefully aimed from this location and at heights appropriate to the bands to be used to obtain 5-7 degree angles. Michael Goins, k5wmg Professor, Writing University of Texas at San
Done it with baluns and with using 50 ohm coax feed (without baluns) and could never tell the difference. In my opinion, the gain in purity of using the balun is neglible and while it is likely will
There's a quad in the not-too-distance future here - might be a few months because of the remodelling going on right now, but looking for parts. Need quad spreaders and a remote switch. Have Cubex sp
List Manager, Sorry for the bandwidth, but I received a letter today from John Travis, W4QCF, and he has somehow mistaken me for someone associated with the decision-making on this list. He would lik
Paypal and ebay are related businesses. I too have used paypal for over $10K worth of purchases (using a credit card), but when I reached that limit, they wanted a bank verification. I tried that and
Again, my issue with them is a little different. I've been buying stuff from other hams for 33 years, have used paypal a lot, and I have been burned only once - and that was on some stereo gear from
Primarily because paypal is one of the primary ways of paying for ham related items, and most of us consider towers to be ham related items. I am soon to be in need of a tower and would like to be ab

I've used the fiberglass poles like the power company uses to reset breakers up high on poles. I sold a 30 foot one and have a 35 foot one here. Used it to support a number of wire antennas - the mos
I picked up the last two of the auction website for a little over $100 each. Plenty cost effective compared to the much smaller diameter ones available. Mike, k5wmg Pipe Creek, Texas Green cars, slow
We're building a small guest house and it will have a small radio room in it. The plan here is to have stringers on the walls on three sides to support the top. There is a lot of relatively cheap gra
Looking for a remote antenna switch to use with a quad before too long. Anyone have a reasonable one that is just sitting on a shelf, unused? mike, k5wmg -- Michael Goins Professor, Writing Universit
Am I the only one here who feels that making 1KW and 5KW antennas primarily for CBers to use illegally is not okay? And before anyone says they can be used at legal power, why then the need for 5 KW
Quite likely true, but then the TH antenna series wasn't designed for illegal CB operation either, and this one is. The power rating and user feedback state that clearly. The TH is a ham band antenna
Andre, But that is exactly the point. Illegal is illegal and the fact that others - hams or manufacturers - are also doing that which is illegal does not make it okay. We are supposed to be self-poli
