downward Very important...How long is this run and how deep. It's roughly 41 or 42' long, buried about 18" down at the deep end and 12" on the shallow end. It was installed when an electrician put in

Without quoting back the whole thread, here's what I've done so far. The tape goes in about 3 feet or so and just stops quite suddenly. I'm using greenlee fish tape, very solid steel and about 1/8" w

Mike, I have to say my experiences with crimp-on connectors has ranged from convenient to catastrophic failure, with the latter being commonplace. I'd say about 75% of the crimp connectors have faile

Hi all, I'd like to build my internal patch cables out of an extremely flexible RG-213-sized coax that's rated for legal-limit power (with lots of headroom). Any recommendations? As much as I'd like

The copper shield itself isn't visible in the shot, but it's under the ferrule that's pulled back. That knurled portion behind the barrel of the white heat-shrunk PL-259 (between the heat shrink and

--Original Message-- I've never had one pull back. It appears that possibly the wrong die was used not making a tight enough crimp. The crimp sleeve is covered so I can't tell for sure, but it looks

Another option I can recommend is a TGM mini-beam. I use one of these at only 25' AGL every year for CQWW-CW in Toronto and I'm very pleased with its performance. Small, lightweight and with a tiny f

A trick I was taught with F12 is to slightly drill out each hole to the appropriate size and go one rivet size up from what is supplied with the antennas. My C31XR, Delta 240 and 2/2/1 are all built
