anyone know where one can obtain various sizes of fiberglass rod for antennas? Similar to what is used at the center - 1" to 2"+ diameters solid fiberglass? thanks gary K9RX _________________________
Thanks to all who replied (so rapidly as well!) Two sources were mentioned - M2 and Max Gain Systems. Should do! g. _______________________________________________ ___________________________________
Hey Dave... where are you with respect to Three Canyons and 92? g. _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@con
Anyone do a comparison either sequentially (owned one and then the other) or ideally simultaneously of a well placed 80 meter dipole vs. a 2el long(er) boom Hi-Q coil beam? I currently have a F12 Sig
Interesting.... however using EZNEC and their provided 4 SQ model I see different results then what your suggesting here... a DIPOLE at 136' (what I have) out performs a 4 SQ for all angles down to a
a couple more comments: first off I believe all would agree when you say that the yagi beats the 4 SQ by 3 db to as much as 2 S-units - this is a great deal! Even 3 db as we all know is non-trivial!

Super - I'll try that - thanks! g. A phone call to the FAA will usually net you an informal answer right away. I've gone through this with proposed lighting for a football field overlooking an airpor

Hello Rich, Im not sure if this will be inline with the thread youve created, a new thread or somewhere entirely separate... sorry if not inline where I intended it to be. I've had what you're planni
Hello all.... please forgive the rehash but I feel a bit excited, at least for me on finding out HOW IMPORTANT ground quality is in evaluating a 4sq. Brief history: I had a rotary dipole in Arizona o
Hi John, I'm not sure what you're suggesting here.... I can go from the model with no radials and see a particular max gain and shape of the pattern... then add 17 radials each, even short ones at 0.
Thanks again John, As for switching.... the rotary dipole I have, a F12 Magnum, has 3 relay/coils and it covered from 3.5 - 4.0 at under 1.6:1 ... its relatively easily done so I'm not sure that is a
Hi Steve, Ive searched and cannot find any info on South Carolina other than that old map. It shows shows all of the area where I was as 8 mS. There is indeed soil there farming is going on all aroun
at the site zoom in to your area of interest using the map. You can rubber band an area until you get there. Then once there select the AOI rectangle (or odd shape) symbol above the map and select th
Ed, Good points although if one were to do a 2 el it would quite nicely compete with a beverage on receive (RDFs very similar) so Id not downplay its FB. As for an elevated 4 sq... I had thought of t
Im thinking of a 2 stack of the M2 15M6DX. Both antennas would be mounted across the face of Rohn 55 (rotating tower)... unfortunately their manual doesnt say what the distance is to the mast/balance
I have models of the 20M4DX, 20M5LGS, 15M6DX and the 10M7DX if anyone is looking for them. Also 2X for all of these and some mixes as well. All done under 500 segments. write me at garymyers at power
At the very bottom of the page for Original Tennadynne products is this statement: " *These gain figures are fictitious, but since other antenna manufacturers tend to use them to manipulate things in
How did you determine that? Inquiring minds want to know. Cheers,Steve K7LXC I used their manuals and created models for the 20M4DX, the 20M5LGS, the 20M5, the 15M6DX and the 10M7DX. All of the resu
