I got a bunch of baluns from Force 12 and have had no problems with them. I believe these are of the same type, ie ferrite beads around coax. __________________________________________________ Do You

OK, I found some pictures of the nesting fixture that I made that makes climbing a crank up tower safe. I have put them on my web site at www.qsl.net/wy6k On the home page, click the "Antennas" link,

I think I have found the first ever triband yagi. Back in 1946, rotatable beams were in use only on 10m and 20m. This was mostly because 15m didn't exist yet. So there had never been any reason to ma
What's the advantage of this antenna? Is it any more than the fact that it provides a good match (ie low SWR) across the whole band? __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
Hey, I have no problem with people being paid money for work they have done. Maybe some people have forgotten that in a society where people are free to do as they please, there evolves a system in w
I, for one, do not doubt that lower antennas are at times better than high ones. I have done experiments with my crankup tower that have convinced me. But that doesn't seem like the relevant point un
Tom, you have not answered the question. You changed the question. The question was NOT what a one tower guy should do. It was "what should a one antenna guy do". I don't know all the reasons why a g

You can pop popcorn in the corn oil too! MFJ may sell transformer oil, but they use mineral oil in their dummy load! __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seek
Interesting. Maybe they have changed over to the transformer oil. I bought two cantennas and they both came in the box with a jug of oil that was labeled as mineral oil. I wouldn't know how to tell t
I'd sure like to hear from anybody that has experience with these antennas. Thanks, Michael WY6K __________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? Great stuff seeking new owners in Ya
Now Now Stan. It could be perfectly OK. He may have blocked the telescoping sections at the bottom. I have a multi-level structure that I built last year that resides inside the tower and each telesc
Maybe we need to start a "Why I hate MFJ" reflector! I would, of course, be one of the first subscribers. However, I like my AL80B (which I bought before it was an MFJ item)> Mike wy6k ______________
So if we use perforated pipe, don't we still need coax that is designed to be buried since the coax will be wet (since the ground is wet all winter when it rains)? Since the moisture can drain out, t
I have a ring rotor I am putting up and I have assembled it and tested it in the shop first. There were none of the problems described in this post. It works fine and smoothly. I think a lot of hams
It's true. The US has turned into a nervous hand-wringing old lady whose afraid of her own shadow. I've been spending a lot of time in Italy and France, and we are becoming the butt of the joke if no
I have an R7 and an R8. I want to phase them on 40 meters. Has anyone done this? What effect does the mathcing network have? Can I still use a quadrature tuning system? All help greatly appreciated!
Hello TowerTalkers, The Cushcraft R7 and R8 verticals seem to work pretty well. They use 8 "whiskers" that are about 3 feet long as the ground plane. Why does this work so well? Would it work better
