Hi All...sorry if this is a little off topic but I have some stock I need to get rid of. They are Andrews F4PNMV2 for Heliax FSJ4-50B. I have a large quantity available (1400) and would like to get r

This is quite a timely question to say the least! I just got done putting up my Aluma T-50 for the SECOND time. After 8 1/2 years of a rooftop tower I decided to upgrade. i tried to go under the rada

What is "hardware cloth"? I need to construct some kind of anti-climb for my Aluma tower so I've been following this thread. Chuck / W3YNI -- == Charles L. Mills Email: w3yni1@gmail.com _____________
Interesting idea. Aestetically pleasing too. I'm in the midst of a fight that previously was to GET a permit for my tower and has now morphed into a fight to KEEP my tower. This will pretty much shor
Leif, Under PRB-1 the cannot impose a height restriction. Also, even if you work within the requirements of the township you would be suprised at how much grief your neighbors can still cause you. I'
All, Seems that I have a "good" defacto start with this configuration as the MP-2 mounting post is 6+ feet into the ground and the tower connects to the post. Does anyone have any ideas for additiona
I was using WD40 before buy recently bought the stuff Steve sells on his website. Have an Aluma Crankup and want to keep it "healthy" for as long as I can. Chuck -- == Charles L. Mills Email: w3yni1@
That tower is probably safe to climb sans guys at that height - per the ROHN Specs if it was done to spec. The guys, if I remember correctly on the 25G add to the windloading. Definitely guy it if yo
Glenn Martin makes some "non penetrating" roof mounts. Look at their RT-8900 and RT-5505. The RT-8900 specifically lists it for flat roofs. Chuck / W3YNI -- == Charles L. Mills Email: w3yni1@gmail.co

Tower had been up a long time. Would still be there if the guy wire hadn't been compromised. It was an old tower - probably as old as the club itself and we're celebrating our 50th anniversary this y
One of the things that happens in a case like this is an "oscillation" begins to occur with the tower once a guy has been compromised or even if it is just hit hard enough to cause some backlash. Pre
Call cushcraft. I bought a "refurb kit" last year that included that and end caps. Runs about $70. Includes new clamps for the elements too. -- == Charles L. Mills Westmoreland Co. ARES EC Amateur Ra
hi all, Does anyone from Towertalk Land happen to remember or know anything about the SW PA Police Radio project involving Motorola Micor Base Stations from circa 1973? As part of this project there
Hi all. My needs are simple. 50-75'. Crankup and tiltover would be nice but not necessary or enough of a Rohn or other brand that a tiltover base could be purchased. An Aluma Tower with the MP-2 Moun
You could try the Aluma series of towers with the MP-2 Mounting post if pouring concrete isn't an option. Designed to be sunk in dirt. Bobcat with a big enough auger bit and you'll have it sunk in ab
