Only 53 now, but looking forward, I know the day will come when I can't climb towers, et al. (Spouse wishes that was now) So, I am looking at the Tashjian Towers: LM-354HD 54 ft. manual crank up with

I use Coax Arms by KF7P. They have an arc'd shoulder that prevents sharp bends.See his website at: http://www.kf7p.com/KF7P/CoaxArms.html -Mike-WA6ZTY From: Clay Autery <cautery@montac.com> To: to
Like that idea, but looks like they don't have the curved arms for the Tahjian towers... just hoops. I like the idea of keeping the feed line off the ground... ______________________ Clay Autery, KY5
hi Clay, Can do an entire set of curved arms similar to the ones you see there for USTowers. Just don't get asked for them as frequently. They come powdercoated or if you are patient I can get them g

I use the regular loop type arms that came with my Hy-Gain tower, but I use a couple of feet of half inch heater hose at each arm. Have to put it on before connectors of course. Cinch up some nylon t

Hi Grant, Good to meet you at Visalia. I have no experience with crank-ups, but I've been wrestling cables for many years in portable setups for both pro audio and ham radio. I suspect that how well
If I didn't already have the arms that came with my HyGain and Tri-Ex crankups I'd have KF7P's arms mounted in a moment. My loops are in the lengths indicated by the mfr's and in the decades I've had
Thank you sir... You and I will be talking... hopefully soon. :-) I'm pretty much sold on the arch arm concept... And I've watched enough videos now to see that properly done, there is zero to worry
