The Wilson TT-45 (over 40') and the MAB are very different in "beef". The Wilson is about 160lbs (or less) and has a lighter tube section than the 242 Lb. MAB. The good news is that the Wilson will d

I have a Tail Twister II on top of my wall mounted Tri-EX 33' crank up tower with home-brew 8' 5th section and 2' tall base. Because the tower is mounted to the wall of the shack I hear every sound f

Greg, once you take the sections apart is becomes very obvious -- fear not, it is very easy, especially if it is a two section tube tower. You may want to add a thimble to your collection of stuff fo

MFJ makes an inexpensive kit for the 269 analyzer that turns it into a grid dip meter that you can then use to test the traps for proper frequency etc. Here is a good read about rebuilding the A3S in

Wayne, the ridge should give you additional gain especially in the area that slopes away from your antenna site and that is a good thing. If I were you I'd consider using a beam with more gain than t

Gary, I remember seeing that information on the Rohn website not that long ago but IIRC 3 sections (2 above the bracket) would be too much for a full load rating. OTOH, you might get away with if if

Another consideration would be to properly torque the bolts based on the materials involved. Too lose and they can work their way out and if too tight they are prone to stripping. Regards, John NA6L

Bruce, you may want to look into a clever device called a Hazer. It is like a little cart that will attach to the Rohn 25 used to haul the antennas up and down the tower -- your antenna would mount t

Unless you are on totally flat ground for miles around you'll need to run the Microdem program to import your exact location into HFTA to actually get the correct gain and take off/landing angle info
