from a practical point of view, you better have one heck of a gin pole over 20 ft long, for the sections are 20 ft.... I don't think the gin pole would need to be over 20 feet long unless you had som
We probably should get back to rotating delta loops... the pseudo-science here is getting a little thick. Bravo, (I will say I paid $47 for my Sony noise canceling headphones and I think they work gr
So my question at this moment is - which is the proper method for me to calculate the proper delay line length to properly phase the two dissimilar SteppIR yagis? This is not meant to be a snarky or

Thanks Dan, I very much appreciate this degree of detail. You had not said that the surveyor who did your survey this time was the same surveyor who did the FWS' survey previously. Also, the process
I'm sorry, this is nothing short of disturbing. I guess gin poles, hinged bases and falling derricks are not widely known? A sad case of Testosterone poisoning. Mark, N5OT Saw this link on another si

John, Thanks for your post. I have developed quite an adolescent crush on the Mosley CL33. I have one and I would enjoy having more than one. Do you know how common it is these days to find them u
I am enjoying Kim's thread on BX towers. Steve mentioned that the other guy had an AX not a BX and I need some clarification from guys who know more than I do. If the fellow who's antenna twisted i
Hi Ed, Kim is correct, the actual tower sections being discussed are the same - but you can use smaller ones OR bigger ones to get to a given height. The towers made of the bigger sections are the s
Several brands of Spray Cans claim 30' distance So 2 cans stacked could get you as much as 60' if you get the separation right. 73 - Mark N5OT _______________________________________________ ________
Steve - just a note to say thanks for this resource. I have enjoyed going through stuff on your channel as I figure out how I'm going to do the RX antennas at my new location. Your contribution to
Brilliant, Ed. Thanks. Do you know if anything like this exists for Mosquitoes? 73 - Mark N5OT We use Onslaught to control yellow-jackets on our property: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B004HD7J
But boy is RG303 pricey! Even still, I make my UN-UNs and line isolators out of it because the little beads that fit around it are so much cheaper than the big beads that fit around RG213! Mark N5OT
I'm a big fan of "experiment trumps theory" and basically I have spent nearly 50 years doing the following: 1. Make something. 2. See if it works well enough. 3. If it works well enough, you're done
Yep. Just work guys, right? I think I learned this from N6AA and N6ZZ in about 1975. Thanks, Bob. Mark On 9/10/2019 3:44 PM, Bob Shohet, KQ2M wrote: Mark has nailed it! One of the nice things about
Wow. I attend to important things for a couple days and look what happens. I think some of you may have missed "intended to be humorous" in my initial post. Dave here is putting words in my mouth.
The official N5OT answer: "Try it and see what happens," a statement believed by some to be made by N5OT with no forethought, no engineering, and no data. But actually, I'm only kidding, and that wou
