1. [TowerTalk] Big Towers Down (score: 1)
Author: ke3q@erols.com (Richard Boyd)
Date: Sun, 14 Nov 1999 13:00:37 -0500
Yep, we've been following the progress of this prospective takedown for years. A year or two ago the local club did a series of several tours of the facility, which many PVRCers attended -- with the

2. [TowerTalk] Non-permanent towers; what to do? (score: 1)
Author: ke3q@erols.com (Richard Boyd)
Date: Sun, 24 Oct 1999 22:54:39 -0400
The military surplus AB-577 masts might be an excellent choice. Also, a short Rohn 25 or 45 might do the job, especially if you can use screw-in anchors, and maybe some sort of pin or pipe in the ear

3. [TowerTalk] Romex and UV? (score: 1)
Author: ke3q@erols.com (Richard Boyd)
Date: Wed, 4 Aug 1999 16:46:42 -0400
My empirical observation is that all of the modern variety of romex-es do fine longterm outdoors. I've had 3 runs going to a prop pitch for 15 years. 73 - Rich, KE3Q -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contest

4. [TowerTalk] Attaching Large Antennas to Rohn-45 Legs (score: 1)
Author: ke3q@erols.com (Richard Boyd)
Date: Sun, 24 Jan 1999 21:52:52 -0500
Not only tightening down too tight on a tower leg, but also a big antenna bolted to a tower leg will work left and right in the wind, scoring the tower leg and considerably weakening it at that point

5. [TowerTalk] BIG GUN SIGNAL (score: 1)
Author: ke3q@erols.com (Richard Boyd)
Date: Wed, 28 Oct 1998 08:36:17 -0500
Some of our more active DXers do count their 30M countries quite seriously. Though there's no certificate from ARRL or CQ or whoever, these guys count them bigtime -- the "top list." 73 - Rich, KE3Q

6. [TowerTalk] torque arms vs. pier pin (score: 1)
Author: ke3q@erols.com (Richard Boyd)
Date: Sat, 15 Aug 1998 02:17:35 -0400
unwanted torque, twisting, stress on welds, etc. in a tower...in severe winds let the tower turn as it will on a pier pin. Of course it won't turn far with the guys restraining it, but much or most

W3NRS at Norm's Rotor Service (also U.S. Tower Service), in Frederick, MD, bought the last stock of Alliance, all the HD-73s that were left, etc....and boxes, but also buys junker boxes for rehab, no

8. [TowerTalk] Source for tapered aluminum? (score: 1)
Author: ke3q@erols.com (Richard Boyd)
Date: Thu, 2 Jul 1998 11:28:10 -0400
Don't know but a few years ago I did phone Telrex for a similar piece - they were still open Tuesday and Thursday mornings to sell parts - and was quoted a price of $120! I found a different solution

9. [TowerTalk] Antenna Tuners (score: 1)
Author: ke3q@erols.com (Richard Boyd)
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 1998 16:23:34 -0400
Best antenna tuner, homebrew, with large parts with big spaces around them, and vacuum variables. Simple to build too. 73 - Rich, KE3Q --Original Message-- From: Lee Buller <k0wa@southwind.net> To: t

Author: ke3q@erols.com (Richard Boyd)
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 1998 16:29:15 -0400
Yes, a crane can often be cheaper if you figure your time and labor...saves you LOTS of time and trouble. Good access for the crane helps a lot. In laying out the house and towers at my new QTH I'm c

11. [TowerTalk] quad v. yagi, actual anecdotal experience (score: 1)
Author: ke3q@erols.com (Richard Boyd)
Date: Wed, 8 Jul 1998 20:09:52 -0400
At one point I had both a 4-el Skylane quad (plus 2-el on 40) and yagis (8/8 on 15M, 3-el on 40). I mention those bands because I did single band 15 in DX contests a couple times. Generally I ran Eur

Date: Thu, 30 Jul 1998 21:44:59 -0400
The Polygon guy rod some of us have been using as an alternative to Phillystran is shipped in an 8' coil by truck, not UPS. It is considerably more inconvenient, must be uncoiled when it arrives, etc

13. [TowerTalk] 10 Meter contest write-up - IT STINKS! (score: 1)
Author: ke3q@erols.com (Richard Boyd)
Date: Tue, 16 Jun 1998 10:05:56 -0400
More to the story. After some PVRC members noticed their scores weren't in the writeup of the '97 10M contest, we carried on a dialogue with ARRL and were informed that PVRC had, in fact, won the 10M

Several have now pointed out my errors, most in a nice way, one in a sarcastic way (typical of the email/internet genre I suppose, let's call it "email rage")... My message responding to K4OJ's anger
