Author: "Roger Halstead" <roger@rogerhalstead.com>
Date: Mon, 25 Apr 2005 21:31:18 -0400
Is there going to be a TowerTalk get together at Dayton? HF antenna and tower forums? Anything of specific interest to TowerTalkians? 45 years a Ham and I've never made it to Dayton or even the Findl

Last Winter I listed an 8' solid Aluminum dish with a polar mount to a good home. It was accepted, but a blizzard there slowed things up and then a blizzard here did the same. One computer crash late

The thread on pulling ground rods started me to thinking. I've worked around chains, cables, and ropes all my life. Anyone who has never seen a chain, cable, or rope under tension break would have a

I have an 8' solid Aluminum C-Band dish with a polar mount on the shop apron that I'd like to see some one put to good use. Being solid (and relatively heavy) it'll take some work to move, but it can

I'm looking for the dimensions for the 14 element KLM yagis. These are the ones that have 4 driven elements through phasing reversal straps. I have the booms which are pre drilled, but as I recall th

Except for corroded connections I doubt making an antenna look new would even show a measurable difference in performance. OTOH I like mine to look like new as well.<:-)) Roger Halstead (K8RI and ARR

Date: Wed, 22 Sep 2010 17:01:50 -0400
If you look at the construction of most rebar cages it appears the cage does little. It's the individual sections of rebar, their shape, and overlap. IOW the cage is there to keep the concrete from l

As do I, but they will also work with properly swaged and fitted elements. I think you will find the piece that fits into the tool (I've forgotten the name of it) has barbed like edges, almost like a

Term limits sound great until you live in a state that has them. They aren't in office long enough to really become competent and the state is still pretty much run by the auto industry. Note where M

Have you checked with the metal supply houses. I think they are referring to structural steel and mot water pipe. Structural steel tube comes in both schedule 40 and 80 just like water pipe, but the

It's unlikely this would be the same material used in structural steel tube and the needed specs might be hard to find and that might make getting it approved difficult. IIRC he needed to have it app

Flexibility and elasticity should also be taken into account. There are things that will work and things that will destroy the antenna, particularly a vertical. Verticals as well as all structures ha

Although the color could be either fiber or GAS, 1 1/8" sounds large for either. Black is likely water. Digging into a gas line is dangerous, but normally deadly. OTOH it can be very expensive but no

At 95 cents per foot or 78 cents per foot in 500 foot lots the price is good with LMR-600 now running about $1.40 to $1.50 a foot. YMMV depending on vendors. HOWEVER it's the "equivalent" statement t

It depends on whether the tower will see a lot of climbing or not. A good quality house paint should be fine for a static installation. The 45G and 25G here have and will see a lot of climbing and la

IF you already have the rotator you can make a template for drilling the holes if need be. Using cardboard (like the back off a tablet) or even a plastic sheet protector (this may take a little pract
