Hello Smokercraft: Certainly this can be done, I don't know if the rotor is the way to go. May I suggest you first get the quad antenna working first, assembling it as the instructions show, which are pretty sketchy at best? Field strength testing needs to be done with two more test...

Hello QRN and EDUK8TR: Those are great web sites, good call. I really enjoy this Forum getting all these great replies. The picture of the stacked Moonraker Fours, looks like a place called Lake Los Angles, near Palmdale California, in the Mojave Desert. When are thay gonna start...

Hello Yama Junk Owna: You got some real good advice here from QRN and Doc. You didn't tell us what type of antenna you wanted to use or the length of coax you want to use. Its possible that some antennas can be tuned to work with the 75 Ohm Coax. No there is no magic length of coax...

Hello High Miller: That would be great to see a photo of that at 150 feet. That is outragous! I don't think I can see 150 feet up?!?!?!?! Hehhehehee Jay in the Mojave

HELLO ALL, MORE GREAT NEWS: As you know BPL (Broadband over Power Lines, that interferes with HF Radio Communications, including the CB Band) has been fought by the ARRL, and maybe others. BPL is a method for transferring data over the power lines. The problem is that it radiates some RF...

Re: hygain big gun Hello Arch: Ok this was playing on my mind today while working the beams today in the hot Mojave Desert Sun. Here is what I suggest you do to modify the quad beam antenna. 1- Assembly the quad antenna as per the assembly directions, and call the guys at signal...

Hello Smokecraft: Impressive somebody is really thinking here...... I think thats a great call there! You will have to feed the Quad Loops thru a Balun and Matching System. This will take some doing but I think its worth doing. The orginal hardware that signal engineering uses for a...

Hello QRN: Yeah just let me know. Yeah I had 8 to 10 weeks of rain here and a bunch of projects to finish. Now I am out spraying all the weeds from the all tjhe rain we had. The ends of the Boom can be cut off where the U-Bolt has left it dented or oval shaped. Then new 1 1/2 tubing can be...

Hello QRN: The A3, 3 element beam, for the director and reflector are mounted on 1 1/2" OD (outside diameter) Aluminum Tubing. A 6 or 8 inch long, 1 3/8 aluminum tubing can be placed inside the 1 1/2 inch boom if its not distorted by over torquing the U-Bolts...

Re: Sinal Engineering L4+ Hello Supergonzo: Jay Said: "The SE 4 Element Quad Beam Antenna was feed the same way the Avanti PDLII 2 Element Quad Antenna was feed" Super Gonzo Said: This is not true, the PDL used a orbital Gamma Match, that is actually a folded dipole, and the driven...

Hello CDX 1220: I also think that a 4 element quad should do better than a 5/8 wavelength ground plane. Thats why I was asking if anyone had a suggestion or could help. Because it wasn't working right, if a 5/8 ground plane did have better performance. Jay in the Mojave

Yeah maybe a good call!. Every once and a while I go to the TRW Swap Meet near the Los Angles Airport (LAX) with some shady radio characters. Maybe you can even show up at the TRW Swat Meet, and meet all the other shady radio characters, (you might just feel at home?) wheel and deal, then...

Hello Cheech: I have repaired very old commercial fiberglass antennas that where on a mountain top for years and years. There where replaced by their owners thinking that they would fall apart real soon. I wore rubber gloves, and lightly ran scottbright all over the surface. Then I applied...
