I doubt it is because they are easier to maintain. Like packet nodes, cell sites should NOT be in high coverage areas when they begin to be heavily populated. It's fine when they first start out, but
Sounds like a TH-3. HyGain used the blue ribbed stuff in their early TH series and early AVS series. I had a TH-4 and it used the same traps. They finally got too wet when the plastic cracks got too
Couldn't tell you. But none of the nylon rope I've every owned had problem being in the sun. I've got some over 20 years old that is still in good service. It is slightly stiffer, but very strong. Ar
There shouldn't be a specified limit. Each case should be considered on its own merit. Placing a 95 foot limit in one area and then having that copied in another doesn't judge each on its own. That w
My guess is that this would be difficult and a little dangerous. You're talking about something that weighs maybe 600 lbs. But worse, the sections can slide while carrying, mangling fingers, etc. Eas
What does "hit" mean? What does "clear" mean? Did you infect yourself by opening it? If so, you'll have to follow the steps on one of the anti-virus sites to clean your system up. If you haven't been
I'll see your disagreement, and raise you a disagreement with yours. Nor have I. One of the reasons is that in the past, I've listened to (read) discussions just like this one and learned about such
I've got the article that I think you're looking for and I thought there would be several responses offering it. I'll dig around and see if I can find it. Gary a g 0 n at a r r l dot n e t http colon
Sorry, the thread got away from me, or I'd post under it. The only "article" I've seen on this subject was an e-mail written by Roger Cox of (then) Hy-Gain, and gave basic guidelines for refurbing a
I've been cracking up ever since the thread started. Dunno how anyone else is holding a straight face. That said, I'll have to say that I have had no problem with Scotchkote in the sun. YMMV. I typic
I've got some cheap Dacron (I think) rope that I used to "temporarily" guy my 40' tower when I moved 12 years ago. Yes, it is still doing that "temporary" duty (vhf antenna only). It's the white with
Actually, maybe Steve would like an all expenses paid "vacation" in PA! ;o) Gary a g 0 n at a r r l dot n e t http colon slash slash mcduffie dot ws --
I'll leave spacing and all that to others. But, the thing that seemed to stick out as I read it was the rotor. The Ham IV is pretty light. In fact, I might even question use of a T2X, especially sinc
That would be Phyllistran, and available at many of the antenna hardware supply places. Various sizes are available. Gary a g 0 n at a r r l dot n e t http colon slash slash mcduffie dot ws --
Just to correct my spelling in the other thread, it is Phillystran. Interesting how many web pages have it wrong, including commercial ones. When I was typing up that post, I went to Google and did a
