The recent discussions here are all informative from those that actually know what is going on! Everyone needs to understand this one principle: The professionals that design towers are beholden to d
I very much appreciate and respect the contributions of Jim Varney & Jim Lux, who are both practicing engineers and their comments clearly show that they understand all the nuances of the EIA/TIA 222
I am just trying to catch up with you folks on some of this traffic......we are out of control here making things and planning projects and trips........ Here is how I have seen it for the past few d
Jim Lux, Thank you for contributing to this discussion! I don't think we agree about everything said, but that is quite ok! All I intended to do with my initial post....was to remind those on this re
Jim Varney, I think you are describing the basic problem correctly! But, I think it is important to notice some possible caveats that do occur and are relevant to the discussion. Having only one maxi
Patrick, I think all the antenna manufacturers are going to want you in their manufacturing facility to show them how they can do this for you and everyone else, at the same prices you all think are
Thanks Jim for contributing to this discussion, I know we are on the same page, with some others that get it..... ;-) Correct Professional and Amateur nomenclature can always get in the way of the ex
Hi Gerald, This is usually not very useful for most installations...... A K6OK has pointed out, with 222-G the wind pressure applied to the antennas are dependent on several site specific variables.

Dealing with improperly designed things is always quite entertaining! I appreciate all the efforts put forth to do this with antennas their designers did not understand, because they were office dude
Jim, I'm so glad to hear you know everything and have it all under control! This means this reflector does not, and never has ever really needed me! I will silently back out of here, I obviously made
John, I receive the full TT digest every day...... I am running so hard and fast to try to take care of those that think they might need a part of what I do, I rarely have the luxury to try to read a
Jim,, I knew you were a smart guy! That's exactly how it is with EIA/TIA 222-G. The spec is really detailed and very tough! Why? Because the teams of tower engineering professionals studied all the f
Jim Thompson, Jim Lux et al...... Your comments on this subject are appropriate and appreciated, but there is more that needs to be explained....this is not a simple matter and is most likely why few
Wes, you inquired..... That said, I was involved in helping a friend install a Steppir DB42 on his foldover tower.? From what I saw, it would be impossible to account for all of the stuff mounted on
John, The difference in yield strengths between 6061-T6XX and 6063-T832 tubes are not very much! The min yield strength for 6061 alloys are ~40ksi, I have seen certs showing values of 42-44 ksi. I ha
I'm with you Jim! Maybe a poor choice of phenomenon description, but that was how Weber saw it...... And, he was the first one to step outside the box and tell everyone they were doing it all wrong!
For those here on TT, some of you might find this entertaining...... Here are a few links to videos that show the moves that Paul Nyland & I made last month at the KH6YY station......enjoy! Don't try
