I've acquired a good condition, free standing tower, of unknown manufacturer and am in need of a rotor plate. The inside diameter (leg-to-leg) is 8.5 inches. Anyone know of a commercially available r

Chuck, I've installed a lot of 160 shunt feeds. I would start by raising the gamma attachment point. Usually 2/3 the height of the tower would be fine. In your case 90' should work well. GL! 73, Larr

Once I was doing repair on a coax switch about 70' up on the tower. As I was taking the cover off the enclosure I heard a very loud "rattle" within the box. I remember thinking that it sounded like a
Now I know how Bill Murray felt in Caddyshack. It seems I have a groundhog that lives near my barn who hates the RG-58 I use to feed my NE Beverage. Bear in mind, I've got perhaps 1000's of feet of a
I use a Stackmatch to feed dissimilar antennas in order to spray RF in two directions. For example, during this past Sweepstakes, I fed a tribander at 60' pointed NW along with a different type of tr

Carol, Years ago I had a friend who tried a similar installation. He never could get the thing to tune properly. He felt, that since the antenna was so close to the tower, he was actually "shock" fee
I have gone through 2 different RCS-10 units. Inspecting both, after failure, shows signs of arcing and or burning of the relays. At no time was more than 1 KW used. I am now using RCS-8V units and h

Why not gamma-match the boom of the TH-7 as a rotary dipole for 40? Check the archives, or the NCJ archives for the details. Works great! 73, Larry K4AB ______________________________________________
Does anyone have any experience with long runs of rotor cable for a Yaesu G-1000? I'm planning for a run of 400' and I'm thinking that maybe too long, even using the heavier cable. 73, Larry K4AB ___

I would concur with John. I installed 3 AB Chance anchors a couple of months ago and would never think of installing them myself. After very carefull consideration, I had decided on a particular type
I'm in the process of assembling the new Force 12 Delta-II-6BA. I agree with Chip K7JA, that the hand rivet tool is very difficult for popping the rivets. Bear in mind that I am no large, athletic gu
I've just installed a new Force 12 Delta-II-6BA, which is the "legacy" 6BA with newly designed 40M loading coils. I've placed a couple of photos on my qrz.com page. I'll be trying it out during CQWW
A few of the really big multi's also have 4 square arrays for 20-15-10 in addition to their large stacked arrays. I'm sure these are a big help during high rain static episodes. 73, Larry K4AB ______
