Back in the mid '90s I assembled a Tennadyne (http://www.tennadyne.com/) log for NJ5S SK in Enid, OK (I forget the exact model). I spent the Saturday afternoon of the CQ WW SSB contest of '95 buildin
I recall seeing some TV LPs oriented in that fashion over the years, unless my mind is playing tricks on me. I don't know if such an arrangement is offered by any manufacturer today as most are in a
Perhaps the best advice I can offer is to check with the Wildlife management department for your state/locality. They are familiar with more than just game animals. 73, de Nate >> -- "The optimist pr

Then there are the EIA color codes for telephone wiring: Pair Color 1 Blue 2 Orange 3 Green 4 Brown 5 Slate Then there are the colors that are associated with each group of five pairs above: Group Co
With Mutt I use r or L for a private or list reply. It's no big deal as mailing lists are all over the place in their configuration and Mutt allows working with them quite easily. But, if one must us
Presumably, the question stems from other mobile radio services where vertical antennas are the norm. The Part 95 27 MHz service also settled onto vertical antennas as that is easiest to achieve on t
What is the implication? Is LMR series cable not quality cable? Seems to be a good choice to me for 430 MHz. 73, de Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds.
I'll give him the benefit of the doubt as these may have been staged photos. Still, having the obvious attachment to the safety climb cable would have been a nice touch. He may be connected, but it'
"Witching" really does work. I have an uncle who can not only locate underground water sources but graves as well. In fact he located two previously unknown and unmarked graves in our church's cemete

It may be that RF Industries makes such a critter. RF Parts carries some RFI connectors. 73, de Nate >> -- "The optimist proclaims that we live in the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears
Please, let's not fall into the trap of building every antenna for DX. Placing the 160m antenna at 35 feet is in the range for effective NVIS work for which a low angle of radiation is just as useles
So the killjoy at the end is telling how the first record of the story was in a 1918 joke book. What makes it funny is not that it's not true, but that it has a kernel of truth as those of us who hav
Your comment puzzles me a bit as it *is* a rotating tower. :-) I have seen K0XG's product up close at Dayton in years past and helped K0RH raise antennas on his 140' rotating tower made of a microwav
At work we use a Hilti driver/hammer drill. It's heavy and bulky and drive rods with relative ease. It's not so power that a rod will bend when a layer of rock is hit. In the Kansas Flint Hills, when

Saw this link on another site. Gets a bit sketchy for a bit. No, it wasn't me and I wasn't involved in any way except watching: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uWi0wlSyU3U 73, de Nate >> -- "The opti
I asked about that on the forum I found this and so far no answer has been posted. The tower is for wireless internet so they may believe (or have been told) no guys are needed. Still, that looks lik
This brings up a thought I've had for a while (forgive me for veering off a bit) and that is using a rotor plate for an intermediate bearing, or is the hole wrong? I've thought that the thrust bearin
