I have a fairly modest setup of antennas (high G5RV, Tribander stuck in the trees, and low fullwave 80m loop), but have noticed a definite need to do some fancier antenna switching; for example, to t

I was inspired by the messages in the archive to put up a tribander for the WPX contest -- a bunch of rope, some sailboat pulleys, an A3S, a radio-shack rotator, 120 feet of RG8 and 3-conductor rotor
I need some recommendations as to how to run the cables from my tower.... I have fsj4-50b to run, some surplus CATV stuff that's about an inch thick, rotator and antenna control, a cat-5 cable for so
The 'low voltage' and regular conduits would be separate... Do you have any electrical code issues? (like, do you have to meet code?) If you do, that will substantially affect the alternatives. For i
I'm coming down the home stretch with a tower, the first for me in this QTH, and with the long run to it (180' or so) am using FSJ4-50b cable -- something that I've not used before. I am digging a tr
A small change in plans has me selling the antennas I bought yesterday, today! Nothing about these has changed other than being moved to a location near Issaquah, WA. Here's the original message from

These antennas are still for sale. Call me at 425-222-3955 from 1500z to 0400z if you're interested: These antennas were recently advertised on Towertalk -- I bought them, moved them, changed my plan

I'm looking for a used TIC 1022 with controller; while I prefer the newer manufacture with beefed up design and revised controller, would consider anything. Brian N9ADG ______________________________
Don't you need 12-3 to wire this to code? The neutral (white) needs to be brought back to the box separately from the equipment ground. "James M. Daly" <punk_itup@yahoo.com> wrote: Hey guys, hope thi
Hi, I'm looking for information on what we believe to be a TM-358 or TM-358c tower -- manuals, lists of accessories, etc. We only have the tower+mast+work platform+ladder, no manuals, drawings, or in
I have had my HDX-589 tower up for just over 2 years. The marathon TEFC motor, 1HP, is making a heck of a bearing noise -- a radical change from it's operation a couple of months ago. I took it apart
We've borrowed an RC2800px rotator for a field day like activity, and we don't know how to change the rotation limit -- currently seems to be set to 325 degrees. I searched for a manual on line, to n
I have an US Tower HDX-89 tower, and I need to replace the Tailtwister 2 currently nestled in the top section below the thrust bearing. Is it possible, and what's the procedure, to remove and reinsta
Thanks everyone for your suggestions. I'll likely be doing this (if the weather holds) over the next week or so & I'll take some pictures and post a link to them. An Orion 2800 is replacing the Tailt
Thanks to everyone who replied on and off the list; I put the tower up to where I could get the rotator out, and carefully chocked the tower; I removed the old rotator, and put in the new one. I like
I went outside today to elevate my 2004 vintage US Tower HDX 589, and smelled oil around the tower. It appears the Hub City reducing gearbox is leaking oil via the input shaft bearing seal. I'm not s
