- I had an electrician friend drive an 8' ground rod for my K9AY loop a couple of months ago using an electric Hilti unit that hammers quite vigorously. Lots of rock in my soil. It took him quite a whi

- I, too, have a Skyhawk atop my 64 foot Trylon. Before you hoist the Skyhawk consider whether you might want to shunt-feed the tower on 160 or 80. If so, you can improve the capacitive top-hat effect

- I recently put a Bencher Skyhawk atop a HG-52SS. At the moment, I'm using a hand-winch to raise and lower the tower. Since I'm lazy, I'd like to install an electric winch. The beam itself weighs 75 l

- Is there an easy way to replace the cable on a standing, crankup tower? It seems to me that it may be possible to attach the new cable to the old and then thread the new cable through the pullys. Or

- Well, yes, it would. However, and this may not be good thinking on my part, I was thinking of attempting this with the tower fully retracted. 73, Barrie, W7ALW _______________________________________
