Hi Chet, There are a few of us up here. I've used my 160 inverted vee to work a few states/countries.....decided I'd try the shunt fed tower to see if it works any better! Also listen for NL7Z, Kevin
I use a small spike to hold the radial to the ground, primarily to keep the wire from causing a tripping hazard. Half the year it's buried under about 6 feet of snow here in Alaska, though! ;-) I'm c
Jim - Your personal e-mail bounced for some reason, hope you get this reply through the reflector....... Hi Jim, Yes, it can be done! I've had great success with the shunt fed system on my 40 foot to
I agree - Mosley TA33 Jr. My first beam about 40 years ago - worked great. I'm sure Mosley has a manual you could obtain. Today I'm running a Mosley Pro 57B-40. Great company - great antennas. 73, Jo

And here in Alaska, those of us living in the "bush" are authorized a 200 foot tower under the State of Alaska PRB-1. That's the way we wrote it - depending upon the degree of "civilization" around u

And of course, as an owner of a Mosley Pro 57B, I take issue with this. I have worked 304 countries in 2 years, using my Mosley at 40 feet. Works well, I've found. As good as a monobander at 120 feet
Having survived numerous "routine" earthquakes in the 7.0 + range here in Alaska, I can say my tower survived very easily. Not to disparage 5.5 quakes - it depends on how deep they are underground. C
Any tips on feed through techniques for running some RG-8 through walls? My brother is new at this ham business (KO7DX - Bellingham, WA) and has been having problems. If you can provide a reference,
My thanks to K1VUT, WC4H, K3HX, AD3F, N8DE, KW8W, KA4INM, and VE7FO for all the tips! I forwarded all your comments to my brother - I'm sure hell solve his problem. Thanks to all TTers I may have mis
In response to requests to summarize the guidance I received on how to feed RG-8 through walls, and not wanting to overload the TT reflector, you will find below a link to a web page I've created wit
Need an antenna that will hande 15,000 watts for your CB? I'm sure you can convert it to the 10 meter band....hurry, he doesn't have many left.... :-) http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&it
Good question. I use 40 feet of Rohn 25 and the Hazer system here on the south central coastline of Alaska. My HFyagi is a Mosley Pro57B, with a Cushcraft 5 element, 6 meter beam mounted 10 feet abov
May I second that opinion!?? Living in remote Alaska certainly has it's benefits - NO CC&Rs, PRB-1 was incorporated into state law and allows me a 200 foot tower, and anything else goes as long as th
I have had absolutely NO problem with this procedure. When you release the tension, you do it slowly, on each guy alternately, so the tower doesn't "quickly snap in the opposite direction". Piece of
Only my observations: 1 - The release cord has withstood Arctic conditions for several years, without any problems. It shows no sign of weather or UV related degradation, and works every time. 2 - My
