I don't want to start a war...but with all due respect to Jamie, I have to disagree with the notion that AB-577 movement and installation can't be one-man jobs. I own three of them, and have transpor
No, he can't. UST doesn't make Sky Needle towers. Those were Tri-Ex products. His best bet is to contact Tashjian Towers. According to the web site, Karl Tashjian was the design engineer at Tri-Ex f
Frankly, I've never seen a bowline come loose on any size line - and I once spent two years in charge of one of the Deck Department divisions on an aircraft carrier. Believe me, when you work closely

True RG-8 is also a MIL-SPEC cable (that's where the "RG-n" numbers come from). MIL-SPEC RG-8 has a solid polyethylene dielectric, which is identical to the solid polyethylene dielectric of MIL-SPEC
Agreed. If I remember my college electromagnetics, ANY fully enclosed metallic containment constitutes a Faraday shield - all the charge is on the outside, zero on the inside. Now, if you add opening
We don't have any mosquitoes in SOCAL because we don't have any fresh water - other than that which comes out of a 6-inch hole 1060 feet deep (at least at my house, anyway). Now, where I grew up in S
I'm running WinProxy with the anti-virus option on my StarBand 2-way satellite setup with Win2K Pro, and it works just fine. I configured it to run as a service instead of as an application. It's bee
When it comes to sellers with ridiculous prices, it's always a good feeling to do what I did last year: Friday morning: Seller #1 had a nice multi-section, motor-driven K&L bandpass filter that cover
One of my AB-577's (full 50' height) had a top-mounted G-1000SDX rotator with a 5-foot mast with a M2 6M7JHV at the rotator and a M2 2M5WL at the top. During a 4-day windstorm that started at 35-40 M
I once used a BIG concrete drill on an HDX-572. Took off the crank handle, chucked it up, and let it spin at slow speed. Worked great. Dan KB5MY/6 Ok.... i just hand cranked my TX-472 up, its 80F and
The lower adapter for the Yaesu G800 & G1000 also fit nicely on the top adapter. You can also slip a 1.5-inch (nominal ID) schedule 40 steel or aluminum pipe inside the adapter - very nice slip fit.
I'd like to acquire a 55G star guy bracket, too. Rohn had a TB-something number for their standard 55G unit, but it doesn't seem that Nello has included one in their offerings since Rohn's demise. 73
I am curious as to WHY David needs this information. I don't see an Amateur Radio Service callsign anywhere in the original request. Dan KB5MY/6 Sounds like a job that may not be possible without mak
This is good info! I have a situation where my meter panel is 200 feet from the house, with an 8' ground rod at the meter panel, then underground 200 amp service wiring to the house. The ground where
Mine is a few years old and is a big noise generator, too - especially on 6m. The noise comes from the reed relay rapidly pulsing a static 5VDC source while the rotor turns - essentially a small spar
What about using multiple copies of the RX-only version of the SDR-1000? Built & tested for $899 each, Analog Devices DDS LO (no PLL or VCO), I/Q output, $10 option to add capability for locking to a
Times Microwave: http://www.timesmicrowave.com/connectors/drawings.shtml All the LMR-series connector installation procedures appear to be here. You just need to know your specific connector type. 73
I'm just guessing here, but the Navy could also just be buying them for use at shore-based MARS stations located on Navy & Marine Corps bases. This would indicate NO testing, NO adherence to any kno
