Judging from this question, make sure you have knowledgeable help with the rest of the installation. I am going to use a crane to lift a 60' Rohn 25 tower. I am using 2 sets of guy wires. 1 set at 28
That's what I use here, but bought mine long ago. I do see them on ebay - http://www.ebay.com/itm/like/161073751652?lpid=82 73, Bob - W3YY Need m/f 8 pin rotor cable connectors. Similiar to Cinch/Jon
I think the compensation they offered to rent space on your tower is ridiculously low. My other thought is if you can afford a tower and antenna installation like you have, why is $3,500 and $50/mont
I haven't seen anyone mention the Force 12 Magnum 240N. I have one and it's been great. Covers the whole 40-meter band with good SWR and gain. It's good enough to have given me a 1st place USA finish
Don - I have both a 100ft Rohn 25 and a 120ft Rohn 45 tower. I know what you mean about the Rohn 25 - not a whole lot of space for feet! What worked for me was http://www.vasque.com/USD/product/activ

Does anyone have any recommendations for trailer hitch electrical connectors that work well as rotator control cable connectors? I would like to have at least 5 conductors in the connector, if possib
Thanks to all those who offered suggestions. In my case, I want connectors that don't have wires already attached. I don't want to have to butt splice my existing rotator cable wires to wires coming
Age 70 here and have recently climbed both my 100ft and 120ft towers a number of times in the last month doing lots of antenna and rotator work. Recently losing 30 lbs and getting physically fit agai
Sorry, but in my opinion, if you're doing a lot of free-climbing you SHOULD NOT be climbing at all. If at all possible, I believe one should always have at least one attachment to the tower. When cli
