Back in the day, as we say, most of the early DOS programs were written with speed and space in mind. For this, they would write directly to the hardware allowing quicker response to the display and
True, we do. But in our defense I would say that it is in our basic nature and our sense of community when it comes to a plea for answers to help when we can. I don't have the topic front and center

What about a UV rating for those? Have you used any of them in sunlight for an extended period of time? There's and even MORE cost effective solution... available at WALMART, etc... Consider using th
I'm with ya! I'd rather plunk down 40 bucks for a decent NEMA rated outdoor box than save 30 bucks today only to have to pay 200 tomorrow. Short term thinking leads to long term expense. Bob Tupperwa
I use similar boxes and swear by them. The first time I used the plastic NEMA rated boxes I checked them after the first couple of good rains and was satisfied. Whenever I crack them open the equipme

I agree. Taking a tower down requires the same attention to safety but I, along with others I've worked with, will treat it differently. And sometimes as a speed contest. Not good. Man, you rode a 40
Sounds like a job for the torch! I disagree Bob. I was given a Rohn 25 40' and had to dismatel it. The top section was so stuck that I had to use a couple of 2x4 pieces across the steps and my car si
I've been having a hard time buying a Tower Jack, myself. The guy who makes them, his site is up but no one answers the phone or returns emails. The other sites that carry them tell me they don't hav
Must have been out of stock when I called you guys a few months ago. I talked to someone there who told me to call the guy with the dead website. I think I found one though from a HAM so it may be al
