Steve - Check the Rohn drawings, but I think you'll get a couple of extra feet with the new 25G straight section and small flat top plate (About 10' vs 8') vs the 25AG-4. Also, if you ever want to gr
Jim - I too am intrigued with the idea of modeling terrain. I think it's a critical issue. If not flat, the land surrounding an antenna can have a profound effect on the take off angle and effective
I have a KT-34XA (currently on tower, but coming down this month) and a brand-new, never-opened, KT-36XA upgrade kit and KT-36XA balun for sale. I'm primarily interested in selling to someone in the

A long time ago I bought two TailTwisters and the bell housings were obviously for something greater than 2" diameter masts (just slightly). I complained to Hygain and they sent two new bell housings
Barry - Perhaps it is too late for this now, but in the future if you install two thrust bearings to support and align the mast, your rotator will have no vertical load on it and you can remove and r
After reading what now seem like hundreds of posts about Force 12, both pro and con, I can only conclude that there must be two Force 12 companies out there. One provides lousy antennas and service.
Rag - I have a 4-El SteppIR here at 100ft. It only went up in October, but we've had the worst winds this fall and early winter that I can remember. Seems that every week another front moves through

Gene - Yes, LMR-400 is well known as a low-loss version of RG-213/U. Not as good as 1/2" Heliax, but still pretty good. Haven't used it myself, but plan to this coming year. They also make a superfle
Little did you know the firestorm you would ignite with the simple question below! http://www.jefatech.com/category/lmr400_bulk_cable.lmr400 Anybody heard of this stuff or experience with it? Thanks
David - I'd suggest the Palomar BA-8 current balun. This is similar to the ferrite bead balun that N6BV seems to like and is shown in the ARRL Antenna Handbook. It's simple, inexpensive, and you don'

Michael - I can't find my notes, but a pair of control wires goes to each stepper-motor. Consequently, it's easy to verify continuity to the motors by measuring the resistance at each wire pair from
