Colin, They replace those long ago with a 1/4 wave matching section and a 1:1 Balun. Remove the existing matching section. On the 3 element they used 2 1/4 wave sections in parallel, one 50 ohm and o

Dana, Did you buy it new from US Tower? If so, they will send you the anchor bolts and a template via UPS ASAP and you can get the base done while waiting for the tower. 73, Skip, KJ6Y Communications

Rich, The relays are 12V DC and you supply your own. Current draw is minimum. Probably less than 1 amp. Any 18-22 gauge 2 conductor cable should work fine. When you engage the relay, there are small

Hygain supplys stainless steel hardware, nuts, bolts, washers, u-bolts with all their new rotors and replacement hardware kits. They've been doing this for some time now, long befoe MFJ bought them.
