[TowerTalk] M2 assembly manuals

[Jorge Diez - CX6VM]

Seems that the conversión of inches to cm where not the worst thing.


During the assembly of my M2 15M6 antenna, I think I have something wrong in
the drilled holes to put the eyebolts that fix the boom with the rope.

The back eyebolt is INSIDE the hairpin tubes, between the SO239 of the balun
and the shorting bar of the hairpin. And the boom is not straight, this
section seems to be bad.

I think is my mistake, but I spend all the afternoon assembling the boom,
too much time to do that, and never found the way to have it correct.

The M2 manuals are not so good, a brief description, you need to speak
English fluently to figure out how to build the antennas. Not diagrams or
photos, instead are great antennas, I missed the Cushcraft manuals!

Now will try to contact M2 to know if I have a wrong boom section.

73,

40.64 cm = 16 inches exactly.

The metric-conversions.org doesn't give an error for the comma as decimal
seperator.  It simply ignores everything after the comma, or any other
character.

For example

16 = 40.64cm

16@#*$^&*375  = 40.64 cm

I like google calculator myself.  It can accept mixed units, etc:

25 feet * 34 newtons in N*m

=

(25 feet) * 34 newtons = 259.08 N * m


etc

It's very flexible... I like using it for complex impedances in parallel:

Z = 1/ ( 1/Z1 + 1/Z2)

1 / ((1 / ((25 ohms) - (i * (24 ohms)))) + (1 / (i * (50 ohms)))) =
48.0399693 + 0.0384319754 i ohms
