Dave, Your question is going to raise a storm of answers to the same question as it was asked many times in the past. The simple answer is: Point your beam at the North Star .. that's NORTH. You can
Silicone seal ! Just a dab will do ya ! Don N8DE _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's mo
Larry, The original Hy-Tower .. way back when ... used a base consisting of a 3' length of corrugated, galvanized culvert pipe ... about 18" in diameter that was to be put in a cylindrical hole in th
Dennis, Doing a quick [file card] sort ... I find .. you need another tower ! Can't see how you're going to get all those antennas on three ... without the interaction you want to avoid .. especially
Jason, Unless you are erecting this dipole at least 128 feet in the air ... it will matter little which end is tied to which conductor. If it makes you feel better to tie the center conductor to the

Those crimp-on terminals are very inexpensive when purchased in bulk. As for lead/tin solder suitability .. solder well .. then coat the terminal with silicone seal [RTV if you can find it] and you w
Dino, I've used those same element segments to build MANY antennas over the years. the simple answer is NO .. it won't affect the electrical length as the 'capacitor' isn't long enough to be a signif
