I have added the TH7 trap resonance information to my tower page. I had originally run across this info in the form of a jpg copy of an e-mail from Roger Cox to someone else when I was working on min
Received odd message welcoming me to the group today....been here a long time already thank you for asking... Now my mailbox is full of TT stuff that isn't filtering right. Who put out the water with
That's the problem. There should have been mention of it in the "Welcome to" message. I just have to make a new filter to get them sorted out of my inbox into the TT folder again. Later Gator -- Ther
You might have to explain to some of us what SPG is! Gary ag0n at arrl dot net http colon slash slash mcduffie dot ws -- ________________________________________________________________________ This
Slightly smaller than my HG54HD, but similar requirements. It may depend on the type of soil you have, and how strong your foundation is. However, I had a similar question of the previous owner of my
Bays? Not sure what you are calling a bay. A typical VHF TV transmitting antenna can weigh ten or twenty tons. Gary ag0n at arrl dot net http colon slash slash mcduffie dot ws -- List Sponsored by AN
I'm not sure if that means you disagree with those numbers or not...but they are real. Believe it or not, we're getting ready to hoist nearly 4 tons of heliax up one tower, and a little short of 3 to
Some of you have jumped into this without knowing the topic after others have messed up the threading. There have been a few postings that indicate people think this thread is about the article poste
I've often wondered that myself. I know that they exceed 2000' guyed. I've got a 2k in site of my roof. And then there are the self supporting ones. I don't know how tall they get. Sutro is about 1k,
Since these recent posts are falling under an old thread with the same subject line, it was easy to back up to the old thread and pull this info. I haven't been to the site to see how it compares wit
Hopefully, you don't leave it on all that time??? ! Measure, turn it off. Make a change, measure again, turn it off. I've only changed my batteries once in however many years they've been out. That w
I wouldn't trust it to do that. Without positive pulldown, you need to be there to monitor it when it comes down, to be sure the winch isn't getting ahead of the tower if there is a slight bind in a

Anyone wanting to see what this tower is like may be interested in one of my web pages covering my purchase and erection of the same tower. Rock solid. www.qsl.net/ag0n 73, Gary ag0n at arrl dot net
Those are interesting numbers. I didn't know they existed. However, I would have to say that they cover the only one I have had direct exposure to. In that case, the 1500' tower folded itself into a
Again, I'm no structural engineer, but I would think that falling straight out would be indication of an abnormal situation. It seems that if it were properly guyed (with proper strength guys at each
Another way to put this whole discussion is that the tower itself should be the weakest link in the whole system, and it should be up to the job or better. Gary ag0n at arrl dot net http colon slash
Looks like I spoke out of turn. For some reason I'm missing that version. Was there a problem with that one? Or did I just screw up? I usually don't delete one unless there is a problem with it. I ca
