As I seem to recall reading somewhere that it is desirable to have the mast clamp slip for situations of a very large beam load and a high wind; that it is better for an occasional slip than to "bust
-- Original Message -- two year. I live out west--please interpret ! be When I inquired at about 25 towns for what their tower height restrictions were, by far the most was 35 feet. It appears to be
Strange--nobody has mentioned the Glenn Martin Aluminum towers with their aluminum Hazers. The ten foot tower sections can be transported with one arm, and then bolted together while horizontal. The
Can these towers provide increased wind loading capability if guyed-- or are they constrained as crankups are due to the downward pull of the guys? k7puc
1. I am a subscriber to ham-law@altlaw.com and occasionally receiving postings. To my knowledge there is no archives for that reflector. I would appreciate information if this is not so. 2. I have a

Yesterday I fell from my tower! Well, not really--I fell from my 6' stepladder that was leaning against the tilt fixture. I had finished looping the tilt winch cable through the pulleys and was desce
The LM470 that I purchased about a year ago from Paragon Mfg (now out of business) came with a "different" winch/drum than normal. I may have been the only customer/victim? According to Joel at First
Good Point. Not only that but I would be surprised if any State, County, City or Town includes encouraging our hobby in their regulations concerning antennas and towers. None even reference Public L
SUMMARY: There isn't much to summarize. I received 7 direct responses on the same day as my posting and none in the week since. As far as I know, none of the responses resulted from my posting to th
The TenTec reflector is having a discussion on the merits of 1.7 db gain. Altho the issue is about power out of the new Orion rig, Tower talkers may be more knowledgeable and there is a related anten
three questions: 1. the cord to release the safety latch is very small diameter-- any problems? 2. The company spokesman quoted $400 for an 80mph wind load analysis! What have others found to be the
I am currently trying to decide how much of a 20' mast to have inside the tower when the top of the mast will have a Force12 mag 2/2 (185# and about 14 sq ft antenna wind load. My concern is the late

What is the mechanism that causes an element longer than the driven element to re-radiate in the same direction as an element shorter than the driven element but on the opposite side? Please, answer
I have been trying to determine signal loss in coax by using a dual trace oscilloscope (Tek 465) connected to the input and output of the coax. However, instead of a loss I am observing a gain! My se
