- I think most of us with older towers have, at one time or another, painted or at least removed rust starting on the outside leg of a tower, and repainted it. Has anyone done anything to the inside of

- The reason this sort of intrigues me is because in 1983 I had to drop a rather new 410' tower in an AM array due to rusting from the inside out. The forensics of the aftermath showed that apparently

- I notice there are several versions of the book. Is the program available in all versions? For example, the "ARRL Antenna Book 22nd Ed Softcover [Paperback]" doesn't say if you get a data CD with the

- You know, there is another component to this discussion. Let's suppose you have .1 to .5dB loss in an RF system. During transmission or reception, will that really mean anything? I'm not sure I would

- With all due respect, Dan, in design you have to weigh all losses, and one way is not to over-complicate designs with multiple connectors. However, on my station I come out of the rig, to a low-pass

- Never even considered running anything greater than 500 watts through a PL259, to be honest with you. I know they are rated for higher power, but I've never considered them as being the right connect

- I appreciate your opinion, but try not to justify your position by adding in Type-N and BNC into this discussion, I never spoke about them. All I'm saying is the PL259 is a poor connector to use in h
