I would suggest finding a web site selling new harnesses and find the size you need before buying a used one that might be the wrong size. If you get one too small, it won't buckle. Too large will no
Maybe two Jenair modules in parallel? Chuck W5PR _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http:/
I used to stack 25 by myself by pulling it up, standing it up on the cross braces, then lifting it onto the tubes. I always felt I could drop a section if I got into trouble. When I tried it with two
A couple of inverted V antennas could help the guying of a small roof top tower too... Chuck W5PR _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Tower
And I would not hesitate to put up 30 feet of Rohn 25 with only one set of guys at the top. Chuck W5PR _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________
This is not what you are asking, but I use elevated radials with my grounded tower for 160. 150 ft tower, 2 radials, 8 ft high in opposite directions. They slope to the ground in the 10 ft closest to
To avoid RF in the shack, bury the coax/hardline. Chuck W5PR _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contestin
I had one of those where the goop inside the machined block somehow became conductive. I switched to a gamma match. Check it for resistance between each side or to ground. Chuck W5PR ________________
I use "UF" Romex for all control/rotor lines and hardline. I direct buried it and it has been fine for almost 20 years. Two feet deep might be deep enough to be trenched over safely to add something
I have used separate gamma matches for each band selected by relays. Chuck W5PR _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list
I had a vertical for 160 on a small peninsula in salt water. I ran the radials into salt water in 4 directions and pushed aluminum tubing pieces into the bottom in the salt water with the end of the

How tall a mast do you need for the Sal-30? Chuck W5PR _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com
Ok, thanks. So "out of the box" per directions, the lower wire would be about 3 ft off the ground. I guess I need a 40 ft fiberglass flag pole! (I am guessing I don't want to know the price though...
The manual has a circuit diagram, if that helps... http://www.radiomanual.info/schemi/ACC_rotator/Yaesu_G-800S_G-800SDX_G-1000S_G-1000SDX_user.pdf Chuck W5PR _________________________________________
That's the way I do it, but use radials 180 degrees apart. (I only use two elevated radials and gamma feed the grounded tower. Chuck W5PR _______________________________________________ _____________
If you have a digital ohm meter that can measure into the megohm range, with bad coax you will see some resistance path between shield and ground. Chuck W5PR _________________________________________
Put up a temporary steel mast or ginpole clamped to a tower leg at the top and tram with it. You will still need to back guy if there is much of an angle involved. I would not risk the mast. Chuck W5
This was very timely for me. I am building a SAL-30 and was going to lay about 600-800 feet of hamfest RG-6 on the ground. Now I ordered 1000' of Commscope direct burial RG-6 on Ebay for $80 and will
