I am putting up a K9AY Loop, I will be using 3/16" rope for the guys. What would folks suggest I use to tie off the ropes ? Knots are so crude !! Some form of ring and clamp ? Thanks, Dick, W1KSZ ___
I have a chance to get a Rohn 25 Fold-Over Tower, looks to be about 50'. I would be putting a couple of VHF & UHF Verticals on it. Can I get away with not guying it ? It will be next to the house and
For a 2 Meter Repeater, would you recommend UHF or N ? Solder or Crimp ? Also, where can I find connectors for LMR-600 ? Thanks, Dick, W1KSZ _______________________________________________ __________

My latest project is a K9AY Loop. I thought I could use a CAT5 cable to connect the relay box to the switch box. Of course, that requires one to solder the wires at the relay end. Well, to my surpris

I would think that the simple answer is the Crank-Over tower ?? What am I missing here ? 73, Dick, W1KSZ _______________________________________________ ______________________________________________
What would folks recommend for a "quick-disconnect" connector for the Rotor at the Tower Top end ? 73, Dick, W1KSZ _______________________________________________ ____________________________________
I want to mount a Yaesu G-2800DXA inside a section of Rohn 25. Does anyone make a pre-drilled rotor plate for this combo ? A Google search came up wih several hundred thousand hits of which not many
I find it very frustrating and annoying to go to a Web Site on a product and cannot (or with great difficulty) find the price for it. Are they ashamed for charging such a high price ??? Those sites t
