Hi Again Roger, On second reading of your note, what you say makes sense to me now--but in order to benefit from such a scenario, one would have to bury in concrete a complete 8' tower section...and
Hi Tim, Despite what the nay sayers might opine, I applied a good rubbing of steel wool on my TH-3 before putting it up in 1992, with absolutely no fanfare... What troubles me reading your post, thou
Hi Jack, Some 30+ years ago VE3CSZ mounted a half wave dipole / inverted "V" atop his Hy-Gain multi-element rotatable yagi on a 64' tall tower--I thought it was ingenious at the time... Zenon had the
Hi Mark, You may well be correct--it was so very long ago that I can't recall (I'd only been licensed myself but a coupla years at the time, too). Zenon did what he did in order to get on 160-meters:
Hi Don, True enough, but the forward GAIN is less... ~73~ de Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ ** _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing l
Hi Don, That being the case, so does the diminished "footprint" required of a DE vs. a RE design...correct? ~73~ de Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ ** _______________________________________________ ____________
Hi Chris, I have a 48' self-supporting Delphi tower here--it's given me yeoman's service for the past 30 years, and I got it second-hand from a previous owner who had it for who-knows-how-many-years
Hi Guys, For 160-meter DX'ing here I use a three element phased array--each inverted "L" in the array is extended (approximately 170' long) and arranged in a triangle, 1/4-wave apart. I use RG-6 TV c
Hi Jim, If you want to guild the proverbial lily, go ahead...! : >) I never used sealer on my two tower installations here--and the latest one is going on two decades old now, with NO PROBLEMS. ~73~
Hi Guys, Absolutely AMAZING, isn't it...? People will go to such great lengths like that to get their wire creations supported on the wings of one of Mother Nature's "organic towers", whilst guys on
Hi Guys, I guess I'm just plain stupid or something, I don't know... ...But whenever someone tells me that a tree is death to the radiation emitted from a nearby vertical antenna, I immediately ask m
Hi Eric, Now THAT'S what I find to be so contradictory & confusing in all this... How can metal possibly be reflective, vis-a-vis a tree, in a similar situation...? The metal is grounded, and conduct
Hi Eric, I'm going to play "devil's advocate" here, & try to put my "spin" onto what you've just stated above...! : >) QUESTION #1: you've stated earlier that trees are very lossy affairs, & because
would be smart to built an antenna inside of a steel structure when it would be better all the way around to put it in the clear. Why would you ever do that? --I guess you'd do it because, using the
Gosh Dave, Nothing personal here, but I hope for your sake you don't make a living in any way, shape, or form from the teaching profession...! I would hate to be a student in your classroom blessed w
Hi Roger, My apologies for having to use a public venue like this in order to reach you, but your rac.ca e-mail address results in repeated bounces here for me... Do you have another e-mail address t
Hi Tom, That's a VERY neat site...! I'm gonna save it here in my bookmarks... Thanks so much for sharing. ~73!~ de Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ _______________________________________________ ________________
Hi Guys, My XYL inherited a 1964 Pontiac Parisienne from her deceased brother two years ago...in deference to his memory, we restored the car to running condition, & had it certified & licensed... Na
Hi Ken et al, I had mis-givings here about feeding my 160-meter half-wave inverted "V" dipole (50' at the apex) with foam-type 300-ohm TV twin-lead--and using it on all bands from 160- to 10-meters--
Hi All, So...! How's DX been lately, anyway...? : >) ~73~ de Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ ** On 2012-01-17, at 2:00 PM, David Gilbert wrote: _______________________________________________ ___________________
