The air space was in the old original 9913 from Beldin. I think I still have an abandoned piece of that hanging from the tower or somewhere. Might be interesting to see what it left inside! Jim Rhode
Well, that doesn't meet the 6-9 ft mark, but if you could stand to trim a foot or 2 off of each section it could work. Jim Rhodes K0XU jim@rhodesend.net Experience is the thing you have left when eve
Our club usually has had to get a "Certificate of C0-Insurance" or some such so that the owners of the site we are using are also covered by our liability insurance for the weekend. This does not add
The site is still there, only under the antennex banner. Only difference, they say, is that you must set up a free account to access it. So, yes the site lives on as long as they want (they were host
The 9913 flex, LMR400, buryflex (and maybe others I don't know about) have a larger center conductor that will not fit many of the "standard" connectors. N connectors for sure you need special connec
Whenever this discussion comes up I am glad that I have studs lock-tighted (is that a word???) into the bottom of the rotator. That way I just have to drop in onto the shelf and start the nuts from t

No, my tower section fit perfectly with the hinge pieces that they sent me. I bought the antenna in "flea market" condition knowing that I was probably the third or fourth owner. The 10 & 15 meter st
Thanks for pointing this out. Wish I could find everything on your web site, but it certainly is well hidden if it is there. When I am looking for something at 2AM I don't like to disturb people & I
Wait a minute here. If the MANUFACTURER says to guy it, then it isn't a self-supporting tower. If the MANUFACTURER says don't guy it then it is self-supporting. Rohn 25 & 45 have a rating for self-su
All this is very interesting, but where is the actual information. Can someone post the actual proposed ordinance? Video may be a good way to get people worked up, but so far all we have seen is peop
Roger, I don't think any of them can read or write. I asked one of them for a copy of the proposal and got something from San Diego County (which by the way is proposing ONLY crank-up towers for amat
I have chosen to attach to the coax arms, although I run the coax through 1/2" automotive heater hose about 18" per arm per coax. This keeps the sharp bend from happening. I did not want the mess of
"Plastic screws" what's with that? If you can't replace them with brass, you might try fastening a piece of a fairly rigid insulating material to both the ladder line & the balun. Something like a pi
