Jesus - A thought is to roof mount your antennas with some sort of roof tower. The 27' foot limit is for a free standing structure - what is the restriction on height above an existing structure? Als
Tim - I can do it if you don't get another offer. Alternatively, I could photocopy and take to your firm's Toronto office for rush to you - HI. Or just call me and I can read the info off to you. 416
For the FT1000MP family, you can hook the noise canceler to the auxiliary RX ANT port and let the rig do the T/R switching for you. By selecting the primary (A/B) antenna, always used for TX, and eit
Let me add to Pete's comments. I use 2 CAT5 cables in parallel for the rotor cabling and use thicknet Ethernet cable (Belden 89880 orange jacket, triple shield, 50 ohm) for feedline, with a short pie
Peter - it`s easier than that - the Mark-V has all of the connections needed for you to use it without having the MFJ unit TR switch. See the following diagram which is for another unit, but the conn
Mike - sorry, no experience with the Orion. Would depend on how the RX antenna port is wired. For the MP series there are both RX IN and RX OUT jacks, which allows you to `insert` the noise canceler
Relying on memory from my Novice days (risky at best), the Hygain 14AVS had blue traps and insulators as well as a decoupling stub for 20m (visualize as looking like a big J-pole) and a loading coil
John - Suggest you tie the two dipoles together with a piece of ladder line and then hook the balun and feedline to it. You may have to reduce the lengths of the dipoles a bit. Elegant it's not, but
As folks can't seem to get the hint that devining rods and junk science are OT for this reflector, how then does the owl devine true north (strong and free)? HI 73, George VE3YV / K8HI ______________
Best FD mast I've used was the two years when two of us ran 1B (5wts battery). The transportable mast - better known as a bucket truck - was borrowed from the local cable company (the other ham was h
Folks - Please give the spam thing a rest: that's what the delete key, not the send button, is for. Let's get back to discussing the subject matter for this reflector. The reality of the internet and
Agree likely for a Mosley TA33 or TA33jr. The difference was power handling, the diameter of the traps on the "sr" were larger. The jr was rated for 300 wts IIRC. Still have a TA33jr on the ground to
How is correct word usage (yes, it is Rotator) important to finding true north for the owl wench? And while we have the collective wisdom of the group galvanized, we can resolve finally resolve "seve
Have installed chokes at both antenna feed points and in shack. With roof mounted antennas in dense urban area (15.5 ft / 4.7 m wide lot), adding the choke in the shack really helped settle things do
Mike - My local pharmacy had it in 1 L containers. One bottle was enough for a (300 wt) dummy load. For the 3.8 L (aka 1 US gallon) paint can, you'll need almost 4. Ask pharmacist about bulk size or
Excellent results with an 80m (sagging , but not Vee) dipole fed with open ladder line (old TV line) or window line on all bands using a Z-match transmatch/tuner. Use at cottage with a 100 wt mobile
As an anecdote FWIW: When I was in university, I worked briefly as a student engineer (the guy that sat there and signed the logs because he/she had the commercial license then required) at the unive
Herb - When our club VE3MIS ran 12A, phone and cw on the same band were not usually a problem. We planned the site layout to separate phone and cw positions as much as possible on 40 and 20, the 24hr
Nice to see a post where someone isn't advocating getting out the shotgun or bazooka but is willing to be patient and let nature take her course. HI 73, George VE3YV / K8HI -- Message: 4 Date: Wed, 3
I'll echo Carol's experience. Kreger is very prompt, customer service oriented, and reasonably priced. I got overnight delivery to my VA address. 73, George VE3YV / K8HI Message: 4 Date: Wed, 11 Oct
