I wasn't talking about the 43ft works everywhere, sorta, antenna. I believe they have a 80/40 offering. _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________
I have a T-600 Trylon and a 70 ft AN Wireless. The Trylon is fine but does not compare to the AN Wireless in any way shape or form. The AN tower much heftier in the products they use. The AN tower is
Save some more bucks and get a crank up. Then you won't ever have to climb. I love my AN but there are times when a Crank em up would be very nice! _______________________________________________ ___

The Green Herons will let you set stops. Put big black lines on the display as do not cross lines. The rotor turns so slow you probably would have a tough time damaging the tower but your milage may
I would probably want to mount the rotor on a steel plate instead of the mast bracket. The 3 ele SteppIr is going to require some interesting engineering as the driven element is dead center on the b
With a large enough gate the driven should clear the tower legs ok. The 30/40 driven element has the boom to mast plate in the middle of the element. I'm not sure which side of the bracket the non 30
Cushcraft made a 4 ele end mounted 2m beam. I had one. I think it was designed for FM. _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailin
I suspect you are running Windows 7 64 bit? If so you will probably need some kind of emmulator to run this and older non 64 bit programs. _______________________________________________ ____________

I have run XM240's and 40-2CD's above my C3, TH7, SteppIR, 204BA and have never noticed any interaction on 20m. My stack distances have run between 10 and 15 ft. _____________________________________

I am looking for a couple of guy rings that we can use to guy a couple of sticks of 20ft water pipe in J6 and still be able to rotate them by hand. Our host is still securing the pipe I asked for 1.5
That is very pricey. You can get suplus fiberglass poles from millions of people on Ebay etc that will do the same thing for much less. I paid more for shipping than I did the poles. W0MU -- J6/W0MU
I have seen the wind generator setups in Montana and they are not nearly as robust as one might think. They are just guyed well. What did you have planned to put on top? The fiberglass poles I have w
