I'm recabling my crank up tower. The cable is 1/8 SS (7x19) its called the "scissor cable, not the lift cable. I'm using 1/8 SS cable clamps. These use 9/32 nuts, I have a nut drive that fits but I'm
If you look at the specs it says max boom length 25ft. There looks like a second attachment to another leg. 73 Larry K1ZW Message: 6 Date: Mon, 23 Apr 2012 09:24:05 -0700 From: David Gilbert <xdavid@
Jim I'm glad somebody was successful with the C32XR. I had one up for a year and it played well on 20 and 10 but not 15. It was alone one a 70 ft tower. The problem was the band width was very small.
Jerry I agree with Bill on the flexing and climbing. But if you have a crank up/tilt over you don't have to worry about either. I have a 75ft Aluma with the MP2 mount(no concrete), its been up for 12
Just for a heads-up take a look at Aluma Towers web site and the "Smart Tower" http://www.alumatower.com/smart_tower.html I have no connection with Aluma just a very satisfied customer. 73 Larry K1ZW
Awhile back somebody posted that they used some hard wood dowels in a X configuration to keep the coax off the tower and thrust bearing. Could they contact me as I have some questions. lclarks@nc.rr.
Larry Take a look at KF7P.com Chris has a very nice setup for your solution #2. Good guy to deal with. 73 Larry K1ZW Message: 2 Date: Mon, 19 Nov 2012 08:22:04 -0700 From: Larry Loen <lwloen@gmail.co
Larry I would be careful leaving it tilted over in the 120 degree heat as the grease in the rotor will flow. It does here in NC. 73 Larry K1ZW Send TowerTalk mailing list submissions to towertalk@con
I had a GA-3000 for several year. My rotor was (is) the Yaesu 2800.. I was under the assumption that it reduced the start and stop torque on the tower. I lost it when I tilted the tower over and the

Unless you seal the whole element and evacuate the air you will have moisture in the element (it is condensate) and it has to drain. If you want to keep the creepy thing out use an open cell foam to
The add on e-bay says they are 1-3/4" plenty long enough. 73 Larry K1ZW How big are these things? - I can't tell from the pix, but from the number in a pound (630) they must be quite small. 73, Pete
I live in NC and its gets humid here. Sometimes in the morning it looks like it rained overnight. You would have to seal and purge the air out with a gas as the tele companies do to keep the water ou
I started out with the 31xr liked it on 20 and 10 but could not get any bandwidth on 15 with help from force12 that they charged me for (driven element and coupling lead(romex) and coil). I ended up
I know the tower fans dont like aluminum towers BUT I have a 75 HD Aluma tower and all their crank up towers have a stop, at each horizontal cross member, spring loaded and releases with a cable. wor
Joe You are correct that the Steppir puts more torque on the rotor and mast. I think any of the rotors you mention will work for your 3el. But they should be controlled by a Green Heron control box w
