Bout 30 or 40 miles NE of Las Vegas on I-15, off to the south of the hwy there is a giant tower. It's mounted up off the valley floor on a ridge. It's far enough away that you can barely make out the
Hi Forrest, Any cross street? Or Lat Long Coordinates? We could get it up on a google maps image... Once you have lat long, perhaps you could find details in the FCC tower data base. BTW, I just disc
Hows this???: KVEG, 401m tower, just south of I-15, 30 miles or so NE of LV. http://www.recnet.com/cdbs/fmq.php?facid=83278&jaws=0 Kent Winrich K9EZ/4/lid/b0zo Fuquay-Varina, NC Broadcasting geek (en
You can click HYBRID on that map and get a satellite view. It is on a ridge, but you do need to zoom in quite a ways. You want tall towers??? We have about five 600 meter towers in the Raleigh area.
How about translating that into feet whch is still a USA measurement standard? Carl KM1H _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mail
How about working to try get your head around meters, which is a WORLD standard, especially for scientists? :) That shouldn't be too tough -- a meter is not quite 10% more than a yard. 73, Jim K9YC _
One of many. 39" per meter. 39 X 600 = 23400/12=1,950 feet If you fly the standard is in Nautical Miles for speed (knots) and distance or 6072 feet per nautical mile. Once learned the metric system
600m = 1968.5' 401m = 1315.62' Google is your friend _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com ht
Sloper? With that much tower you could build a vertical colinear.<:-)) 73 Roger (K8RI) _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk maili
401m = about 1315 feet 600m = about 1968 feet Simple math a meter is 39.37 inches. 401 x 39.37 = 15,787.37... then divide by 12 gives 1315.61 Don Bozarth W6DRB _______________________________________
Then I suggest that you and others who like to make believe that you are scientists form your own metric oriented forum. I KNOW how to convert when I have to but I have absolutely no intention of doi
If you KNOW how to convert, then why not DO IT and stop yer whining here? If you are not going to do it then sit in the dark. But I see you have had people spoon feed the answer to you. Seriously how
There are a number of rules and style conventions for the use of the SI. These ensure that scientific and technical communication is not hindered by ambiguity. The United States is now the only indus
In the commercial tower world, which I believe was the tower in question, metrics are the MANDATED form of measurments, when doing anything with the FCC or FAA. But if some expect others to do everyt
Somebody was suggesting a nice long sloper. So I assume we were talking about the 175-yard band? Or was it the 525-foot band? :-) When I was new at this game 50 years ago, I went to a radio class at
Well this entire problem will come to pass when all the old timers are buried 1.8288 meters under. 73 de Bob - KØRC in MN -- Message: 6 Date: Thu, 2 Aug 2007 20:00:01 +0200 From: "Peter Voelpe
Carl, You gotta be kidding. How boorishly lazy and self-centered can you possibly be. It's total crap that only 1% of the people who follow this reflector can think in metric. Besides, you're familia
Hey Kent, You never know when you're going to learn something! The online conversion web site is real nice. I am forever having to look up conversions for something. I taught Physics for years and I
Burial is becoming as outmoded as ham radio. Both will be history before many of you are dead. But this is getting a bit off topic. Carl KM1H Well this entire problem will come to pass when all the o
Gee, 160 meter band, 80 meter band, 40 meter band, 30 meter band... I guess we'll have to use 174.978 yard band, 87.489 yard band... 73 de Perry - K4PWO P.S. It was scientists that couldn't convert t
