Looks like I touched a nerve here, Bob. The facts are that from the midwest and other similar areas, our signals have to travel through the aurora belt to get to Europe. From the east coast your sign

into place, you won't get the flag. The worst thing to do is to stretch the tape to basically tear it off the roll. I am VERY guilty of doing that and I am sure I'll have to go back some day and re-d

Jason, A better idea for you yet: Glen Martin (www.glenmartin.com) makes some awesome roof tripods. You should be able to easily put up a roof tripod w/o any city permit. In fact, that is one where y

Been there. Done that! Way to go! IMHO, a 40M beam would not do all that well that low. But a small beam for the upper bands would work just fine at 36 feet. Personally, I would go with the 17.5' on

Jason, A couple points: 1.) The best place to ask amplifier questions on is on the Amps reflector (amps@contesting.com). 2.) If I had the money to spend on either a 300 Watt amp or an additional or b

Jason, First of all, why do you think you would create interference at 600 W? All too often hams are shamed into thinking they are the problem. If you have a well put together station, the interferen

Jason, No stupid questions. To answer your first question - I am not sure. It depends on how much you have up on your tower. The forces on a tower due to a particular amount of windload can be calcul

LMR400 falls in to the RG8 size classification and so uses the same connectors. No problem. No issue with sealing. It's a solid dielectric unlike 9913. It is suitable for direct burial. No problem th

The jacket is the key. If you have a waterproof Polyethelene jacket, then you won't have the problem. Cable Experts sells a direct burial rated RG-213 and their CXP1318FX is also rated for direct bur

You absolutely can do such a thing. You may need a duplexer or triplexer at each end depending on what you want to do and you may be power limited. Diamond and Comet both sell products that you want.

The issue with this is that you will need to have some sort of "venting" of the PVC in order to allow air to get in there. Otherwise if it is sealed, then water could get in there from condensation a

Hey Rob, Dacron does stretch quite a bit. I would think it would eventually stop, but it might not until failure occurs. I know on some of the sail boats I've raced on that dacron sails tend to stret
