    Need suggestions.

    Try the Imax first, as high as you can. If you get a beam, remember you need a rotor. Not a TV type, a communications sort and they are not cheap. A beam is not the sort of antenna that likes a mast either. It is better on a tower. One can be found at a house that no longer uses it for free...

    Carbon Fiber.Will it affect my Pawsey stub ? r boom

    I dunno what you mean by the airframe. I think that coax should not be affected much even if it is in EMT conduit.

    Predator stinger length....

    I have a single coil with a 9" shaft. Going OTR again, last time the stinger fell out (my fault) and what good is a driver without a 10K? The one I have is long, a starting point would be cool.

    cn antenna install limo

    CB's were covered in 2 radios. The linear thing couldn't be covered because no truck like that should have any less than 16 pills. But maybe 5 driving 16 would work.

    220mhz pl259 mobile antenna?

    220mhz pl259 mobile antenna?

    Cut a VHF 1/4 wave whip. Or take a cheap glass CB antenna, cut the plastic coating, unwind the wire, cut the glass to length and run the wire straight up. Tape or shrink wrap and use a cap hiding the excess wire that you can use to tune it Fold or unfold for SWR. I have a 2M antenna that I...

    Hot Washing Insulators 500 KV line Live

    The only time a person died when I worked for them was from a dumb accident. We were painting a substation in an Armco (I think) steel plant in Butler PA. Butler is the only place I have been that has two Main Streets. You can go to the corner of Main and Main. I was running an airless...

    Hot Washing Insulators 500 KV line Live

    Those high lines outside of high pollution areas really seldom need cleaning. I used to do that and we used lime. Simple line marker calcium carbonate. 80 grit. The only places I worked were where the environment had very high airborn particulate pollution. The steel mills here in NW IN and...

    XP service packs....

    You are right. My mistake was thinking that I had to start with SP1 or 1A. Went to SP2 and it went well after that. Can't do the verification thing (I think) because I tend to repair my own stuff. If a motherboard or HD goes bad, I replace it, so MS seems to think this disc is installed on...
