61. [Towertalk] MFJ/Hygain etc (score: 1)

Good guy report....I am always amazed at the bad-mouthing MFJ/Hygain gets. I phoned an order for some ball bearings, a lower brake mount and a couple of odds and ends on Friday afternoon. All arrived

I have some towers that are too far to "water drill". Since I am cheap and lazy, I use a 3/8 inch rebar cut with a grinding wheel to a point and slip a 1/2 inch copper tube which has also been cut to

I picked up an enormous amount of #12 multi-stranded wire for next to nothing, but it was insulated. When making my quad loops for my 80m meter array I was surprised to find that they were all cut to

I have been following the thread on clearing guy wires with rotating antennas side mounted and mounted on a rotating tower. K7LXC's suggestion about bending the elements to make the last little coupl

There is a thread similar to this going on the "top band" reflector. I had asked about verticals and several came back with comments about the K8UR array which K3LR used. By the way the antenna is la

A thought which runs parallel to K4OJ's suggestion about having the necessary cordless drill.....How do the guys handle soldeiing up on top of the tower? I mean a very high tower at which wind is pre

As Clint Eastwood would say, "Do ya feel lucky today punk, well do ya?" I guess it all depends on how comfotable you want to feel. I would want the tower to be at least equal to the distance from lin

If I had your options to consider, I'd keep the $$ from the second tower, put some of it into a Tic-Ring Rotator for the lower Yagi, and join in the fun on the air. (snip) If this thing is to be done
