I believe there is a slight misrepresentation here. I've never seen these in any Rohn catalog. Rather than calling them Rohn 25 tower insulators, I think they are better described as insulators for R

Wow! I heard Harry this AM for the first time ever! Unfortunately, he was weak and in the noise most of the time. Here's hoping propagation makes it's way a bit further north soon. 73, Roger N1RJ ___

In that case the government should get off it's butt and bring the rules up to date. As it is, we have the FCC publishing rules for the amateur service and the ARRL and others saying it's fine to dis

It's apparent that some people have a very "creative" way of interpreting FCC regulations. If you want to operate YOUR station within the law, read and understand Part 97. Do NOT believe what anyone

The one big problem with parasitic arrays is that you must have low enough ground resistance to get the proper current to flow in the element. With a driven array, you can force the elements to have
