I have read all of the discussions I could find in the archives concerning 205BA's. What is the general consensus as to how to make this antenna a better performer? I have the BA and CA manuals and t
Build 1/12th wave coaxial transformers on each end. Easily done if you are not happy with the swr. My last install for a 20m stack was almost 300 feet of the 3/4" catv with trannys on each end. Teste

With the excel work file you can input the operating frequency and velocity factor. Not sure one of my posts went to the reflector so I will try this again. But first, I do have 75 ohm hardline runni
1. Disconnect power. 2. Remove the control cable....unless you have enough slack to work on the unit. 3. Remove the top and bottom covers. 4. Slip the lamp and holder off the lamp holder bracket and
I have a G800SA that turns one of the 15m yagis that has decided to only rotate about half of what it should. I will not rotate past 50 degrees on around to the east. I have not gone up the tower to
That is not the problem. It was certainly the first thing I looked at. I think I need to try to find the schematic of the wiring of this thing. Obviously 2 of the 4 wires are + and -, the other 2, we
Anyone have a G800SA controller that they'd like to part with. Perhaps someone with the opposite situation as I have........rotor works, controller does not. Thanks. Bob NX5M ________________________
If I were to put stubs on my 80 and 160 beverage jumpers (between the switch in the shack and the radio), would this create nulls for the beverages? My scenario....I have different sets of beverages
I am out of ideas so let me probe the minds here. I have already been in touch with CC on this issue. Bought a new XM240 a couple of months ago. Built it to specs for the center of the band. The ante
IF the reflector is grounded to the boom would the actual length of the reflector have to be changed a little? I have never understood why the 40-2CD reflector is grounded and the XM240 is not.......
It does not look good at the antenna, at the base of the tower where the coax drops into a phasing switch nor does it look good in the shack. It is pretty ugly everywhere except cosmetically. -- Orig
I would discourage doing this. I believe CAT5 is something like 24g. I'd go with something like 18g for pins 1 and 2 and 20g for the rest. Bob using Category 5 cable to control a Ham IV? This is goin
A recently installed 40m stack is 100 feet away from my main (best) EU beverage. Since this install, the qrm on the beverage is bad enough that I cannot listen on 160. I have also had issues with bei
I agree. Lets get back to antenna and tower discussions here. That is what this reflector is for. The list manager has asked at least twice for this "code eliminated" discussion to stop because this
Without going into great detail with the reason this question is being asked......local guy wants to put a tribander up (an A3 I think) and wants to mount it vertically. He asked me what I thought ab
The only thing he is going to gain is being able to put something up that he can turn. He cannot go high and he has tree issues that prevent him from turning it if it is horizontal. _________________
Wondering what the group thinks about the use of LMR240 as stub filters for the 80 and 160 stations here. I have a bunch of it that I am not going to use for anything so if you guys think it would wo
