I know half a dozen of us raised a Rohn 25, 50' tall as I recall, with a TA-36 tribander and a couple VHF antennas on top, walked it up. I was surprised that it wasn't harder than it was. We probably

Fortunately for me, my Dish TV antenna is within reach -- bolted to a post below a deck -- and I periodically go out with a broom and sweep the snow of it. At least on the receiving end, that takes c

I endorse this idea. I have also found in A/B tests with yagis, that quads can be a lot quieter on receive, which can be very helpful at times! One time I was single band 15 in the ARRL DX CW with 8/

At WP3R I was never completely satisfied with a 200' beverage we had (that's all the length we have to work with), in that it was crooked, wasn't a straight line. So, I ran a second one, about 220'.

Over the years I have usually used a "surf rod" (or the biggest fishing rod I have around) and can go over 120' tulip poplars with ease. But...you do need a relatively clear area to be able to swing

I agree with the negatives about crankups given. Also, less windload -- limited by the lack of guys -- it's self-supporting -- and the smaller diameter of the top section. In favor of them: Greater s

I gather K9LTN is a DXer, so maybe that's the criterion he designed and built this for, and it may work quite well for what he intended it for. Most contesters would avoid horizontal stacking, to avo

I think K9LTN has already gotten his money's worth in all the "buzz" an outside the box array generates! Which I think is a major incentive to do non-standards, grandiose, exceptional, etc. things. 7

Shoot, I guess we'll just have to wait for the SteppIR equivalent to come out so we can make all those DX QSOs up at 3990. By the way, if anyone wants to build something like that, even a puny 'lil o

I think I too may recall a section that mated these together. But, I'll bet it was a bit more expensive, adding another negative to the consideration. I'm guessing they don't match up without that ad
