I must have missed something. I didn't know there was an issue regarding noise emanating from surge protectors. Please explain. 73, Joe _______________________________________________ See: http://www
Jerry, I have not followed this thread very closely, but is the reduction in gain with galvanized from resistive losses? 73, Joe _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomp
" Jay Birnbaum, Current's general counsel, noted that last year the F.C.C. ruled that B.P.L. companies could provide their service as long as they transmitted radio frequencies below certain levels.
Neither CATS nor Hy-Gain have any in stock and they won't be available for at least another two weeks. I am in midst of an installation and need one now. The original part no. is 51460-10. I believe
About a year ago, I changed the original tilt winch on my LM-470 from the original Fulton 1550 to the heavier duty Fulton 2550. In making the replacement, I essentially duplicated the cable arrangeme
I am thinking about using ladderline for a folded dipole or for linear loading a wire antenna. I wonder if anyone has successfully modeled ladderline and, if so, what parameters they used for the ins
Please ignore this request. The winches are not the same. The troublesome one is a 1550. _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "
This winch has hardly been used. It came with my LM-470, but I'm replacing it with a heavier duty unit. I believe that it is used as the tilt winch on UST and other medium sized towers. $70 + shippin
Please ignore subject in previous post. The winch is a Fulton 1550 not 2550. My apologies for the mental error. This winch has hardly been used. It came with my LM-470, but I'm replacing it with a he

Jim and Tom, many thanks for your replies. Let me tell you what I'm up to. I would like to put up an 80M EDZ between two towers. However, my towers are only 300' apart and I need about 340'. I have c
Mark, I was considering that option also. Frankly, I thought the linear loading would be easier, but I didn't appreciate that the losses would be so high, especially with relatively short lengths. I'
Both my LM-470s tend to slip when I attempt to raise them, especially in cold WX. I have tightened the belts about as much as possible on several occasions. In one case, wire brushed the large pulley
Thanks, Paul, Dan, Skip, both Daves and Roger. To answer several questions, I had recently changed to a new belt, applied grease to the drum via the fitting and changed the gearbox oil. Frankly, I ma
Well, I changed the belt this morning to one 1/2" shorter. Frankly, it still slipped until I removed the residue remaining from the Belt Dressing on both pulleys with alcohol. The temperature was abo
Jim, several people have insisted that the Belt Dressing does indeed reduce slippage. I may have used too much or not waited long enough for it to dry. I am going to check the local farmers' supply f
Peter, are you talking about the REMOTE control or the tower mounted control box, which is standard. 73, Joe K2XX _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "S
Steve, in order to apply the Prelube safely, I assume you would use a ladder and spray it on that portion of the cable that is unspooled when the tower is retracted? Then spray the remainder of the c
Truly sad. I use a lot of their parts and spent a lot of time on the phone talking quads with Mike. I think his wire-to-spreader fasteners are the best I've used. 73, Joe ____________________________
Seems to work well with inputted GPS data. The results all seem reasonable. I guess I won't be doing much LOS DXing! 73 and thanks for the info. Joe _______________________________________________ __
