Howdy, TowerTalkians --
Chris, KF7P, is a TT subscriber and makes some nifty things that are
for hams and are handy items including a motorized device for crank-ups
since this is a common topic on TT. This newsletter is FYI.
Cheers,
Steve K7LXC

SUMMER NEWSLETTER
Issue: # 10 August 2016
Greetings! What a summer we've had here...full of adventure activities
with family/friends, and lots of hard work in the shop as well. The pic at
left shows myself and my son Sam riding the Gem Trail near St. George Utah
in June. Yes, we are on the edge of a cliff, and the temperature when we
snapped the pic was about 105˚F. Apart from the fun two wheeled
activities, I've also been super busy hammering out entry panels and keeping
my stock
of products on the shelf. There are also some new products I've been
working on which should be on my website soon.
I recently received a question about shipping. I don't know how other
small ham vendors do things, but I take this part of my business very
seriously. Orders that hit my inbox by noon Mountain Time ship out the same
day.
This applies to product in stock (not custom orders). I use USPS
Priority Mail on small orders, usually 4-5 pounds or less, which is a 2 to 3
day
service to anywhere in the continental U.S. Apart from the occasional USPS
screw up, this is a very reliable way to ship. Heavier orders such as
entry panels and tower equipment ship UPS ground. I've even mastered the art
of packing these so the gorillas that work the conveyors at UPS don't
destroy your order before it gets to you, heh. :-)

What does a first class crank-up tower installation look like?
Recently I paid a visit to a friend who installed a tower and used several
KF7P Metalwerks products to ground and complete his installation. Watch
the video and see what products were used and how things were configured.
I love seeing "amateurs" doing things "professionally"!

qgNUooha9Q==) exothermic welding products. What is it? Exothermic
welding is a way to permanently weld a heavy gauge copper wire to a ground
rod.
It creates a permanent, zero maintenance connection at a ground rod in
lieu of a mechanical bolted clamp. They are easy to install, don't require
specialized tools, and not expensive. Watch the video and see how easy they
are to use.

Motorize your crank-up tower winch!
Tired of hand cranking your tower up and down every time you use it?
Missing out on that DX contact due to time spend hand cranking your winch?
Throw a motorized hoist on your tower and spend more time playing radio
instead of getting arm pump!
Electric hoist mounts now available for most crank up towers, and work
with inexpensive 120VAC hoists.

Polyester/Dacron rope
What kind of rope should be used to hang wire antennas? Something with
very little stretch, UV resistant, rot proof, and very strong. We carry
Polyester/Dacron rope in four sizes, and have thousands of feet in stock.
See the white rope to the left? This is 1/2" rope and is perfect for gin
pole use, general hauling, pulling, construction projects, etc. It has an
insane 7050# breaking strength!

All Ferrite now in stock!
It's time to put an end to the RFI that's been plaguing your rig, TV, or
XYL's computer speakers! Sometimes all it takes is a few turns of the cable
around a toroid or clamp-on to stop the interference.
