I plumbed my 100-footer while hauling a 200-lb mast up the center on a steel cable by winch ;o)) 73 Dave N3HE _______________________________________________ _________________________________________

Hoping someone out there has the default reset sequence. I apparently fatfingered my box into going slow while fixing some other problems. Manual has no info. last year, Jay got me one seq which rene
Fwiw, I have an old CC 402CD 12' above a TH11, booms parallel. Shorting or opening the feedline of the unused antenna has no effect on the other, on any band, that I can see. 73, Dave, N3HE _________
In case anyone's interested, I have an original HyGain TH7, in good shape, with manual, disassembled, on the ground, for pickup in Cincinnati, for $250. Replaced it with a TH11. 73 Dave N3HE 513-674-
Hi, Wayne: Fwiw, I've had a "pistol" PST61C with TH11 and CD402 stacked on a 23' moly mast atop a 30M tower. Other than a blown chip in the control box and wind-caused slippage due to not tightening
Put it in a large pan with sides to catch all the stuff that will fall out ;o) 73 Dave N3HE _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk m
Pony up for a full-power balanced version. You can belt knobs together to get a differential option. One fine day, you may find life too short for QRP and toroidal baluns ;o) 73 Dave N3HE ___________
Hi, all concerned: Does anyone have an EZNEC model file for the TH11DX, please? I'd like to see if it's worth the effort, to extend the log driven cell "out front" to 1 or 2 elements for 6M and "out
I've had several. They have presets (holes) drilled for cw and phone settings. I've cobbled spare insulators and substituted aluminum rectangular and round tube pieces. DXEngineering makes HD ss clam
There was a QST article in the '60s describing a 2-piece square-tubing steel thing which went up from ~30' to ~60' or so. Held a tribander and 2L 40 iirc. 73 Dave N3HE _______________________________

IIrc, the MFJ dip plug is a 100-ohm resistor in series with a few-turn coupling loop. The 2:1 VSWR will "dip" when something "resonant" sucks some energy out of the coupling loop. 73 Dave W8FGX _____
Hi, all concerned: The rotator clamp held the mast just fine for more than a year since 01/03/2007; now, even though all 6 of the 1/2" clamp-bolts have been retightened, the mast is slipping again. W
Tks to all who replied. I'm looking into the SlippNott. The heavier bolts were already in place. Pinning makes me nervous; it's probably more reasonable to add some more friction before locking the w
Tks again to all who replied. I'm a little red-faced over this, as it turns out to be operator error. During an earlier repair to the rotator control box, involving the limit window comparator chip,
