Hello all, I'm finally getting around to preparing the install of my Hygain HG52-SS crankup tower. It appears I have misplaced the rotor shelf that came with it. Does anyone happen to have one they w
Hi all, Another nice 40m yagi is the Hygain Discoverer-2 (2el 40m). The nice thing is they are expandable to 3 elements with a lengthened boom. I have a pair of them I hope to stack in the near futur

Hello all, I have a 120ft Rohn 55G tower in the works. I'm wondering if it's practical to stack a pair of XM-240 Cushcraft antennas? If anyone has this setup, what are your stacking distances? I'm th
Hello all, I'm looking for a gin pole kit, either a WB0W GP2HD, or the old IIX model, either needed for Rohn 55. I procured a 12ft mast 2" locally. If you have something you'd be willing to sell, con
