I finished my tower/antenna install Friday. 77' of 45g with 15' of mast out the top. I have a F12 D240 mounted 10' up the mast and a F12 C31 at about 1' up the mast. The swr is where they are suppose
Rich: I suggest checking the ground block you identified throught the link, below. As I mentioned in our private e-mail, it's difficult to seal these things at the connector/plate interface, especial
I'd suspect some kind of bad connection due to thermal expansion. Moisture is not likely to make that kind of dramatic shift in SWR, and certainly not that consistently from day to day. 73, Dave AB7E
Dave, et al: My thoughts, exactly. Perhaps the center conductor of the coax is not making good contact until warmed. 73 Don N8DE _______________________________________________ ______________________

This does, indeed, have flaky connection written all over it. What kind of connectors? Who installed them, and how? Soldered or crimped? If crimped, proper tool used? For troubleshooting -- first thi
If you have an MFJ-259, or the likes, you could check the line with the "distance to fault" mode, remembering to use the feedline velocity factor to correct the answer. Gene / W2LU __________________
Thanks for all the ideas. I should have climbed the tower this morning but I was busy with other things. The wind started to ramp up and is going to blow for the next couple days so I probably won't
Really Jim this is too much! 73, Jim SM2EKM _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.com http://list
