What started as a simple tongue in cheek comment has got totally out of hand. No insult to Kent was intended. A small minority of Looney Tunes apparently found their "cause of the day". Now you can g
Werent there a couple of 2500 footers that came down in the midwest and another over 2000' in ND that came down when a helicopter hit a guy wire? Carl KM1H ___________________________________________
There used to be a variety of RG-6 diameters just different enough to require their own connector. That seems to have thinned down to regular foil & braid and Quad shield. I buy 1000' reels of CommSc
I'd respond but since you insist on continuing personal attacks as well as insults I'll pass. Come back when you can be civil and actually hold a discussion. Carl KM1H _______________________________
I dont know of any interlaced yagis that are very big or effective. Why not put up individual yagis as big as your mast and budget allow? Weight and windloading is low at 6M and almost not worth both
Steve, how are you determining the amperage? What is the frequency and electrical height? Carl KM1H _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ Tow
Barry, Ive built a few shunt feeds over the years and studied the BC band ways of doing it. Look at the shunt arm as a gamma rod on a yagi. It has to be of some diameter and spacing ratio relationshi
How about using a pointed top section at the bottom? I know that Rohn has made adaptors to reverse the sex for those who erected a tower the wrong way. Would it be able to support the tower weight? A
And at some point the earths crust will slip and the poles reverse as they have in the past. Good by civilization. Carl KM1H _______________________________________________ __________________________

The following paragraph from that link hints at a possible cataclysm but stops there. No one really knows what happens to the crust or mantle when the poles reverse and if it really takes 1000 years
I own several comealongs as I use them for a variety of projects, tower and non tower related. My advice is to buy American if possible. I have one I bought over 30 years ago and it is still in excel
The "problem" is believing the ratings. Many of the 4000# rated dont look one bit different than the 2000# ones. I had 2000# imports fail when simply used as hold downs on the axles of my race car; t
One lower 1/4" EHS guy on my 180' 45G needs to be raised a few feet to give clearance to trucks going to the rear of my property. I was thinking of attaching it to the next higher guy about 4' up fro
That is the peak roof mount. I cant find a price on it anywhere but it is still in the catalog. Anyone have a current price? Carl KM1H _______________________________________________ ________________
Use the standard GA25GD guy bracket and drill holes in the sides for the required 120* pattern. Use a HD 3/8 ring bolt thru the holes and to attach the guys. Not perfect but it works. Carl KM1H _____
It is only one guy that needs to be lifted and I just need about 2' more headroom for vehicle clearance. The guy anchors are at 75% of height. Yes, the next higher guy will have twice the load for th
That could get complicated Frank as I would have to remove 2 guys to do it. Then use the original turnbuckle as is and add 2 more turnbuckles to the new equalizer plate. But the problem is that I ne
Speaking of EMP Ive been bit in the past off my 1000' Beverage by a discharge at least 5 miles away. Needless to say I terminated the f/b tuning tests for that day. Carl KM1H ________________________
I'm planning a trip from NH to NJ sometime in September and will have room in my long wheelbase 1 ton van for lots of iron, either direction. There will also be room on my 16' 2 axle car trailer. Con
