Hello Nomad Radio: Great info there, great reply. Jay in the Mojave http://www.a1antennas.com

Hello Bob 85: It is posssible that Avanti did use 6061 T6. I know for a fact it is .058 inches wall thickness. Which allows the next smallest diameter in 1/8 inch increments to be telescope into each together. Now here is a little unknow fact in the antenna business. Telescoping Alunimun...

Hello Bob: Probably 6061 T6, or 6063 T8, or even 5053 T5 All these grades of aluminum are reral close to each other in shear strength. Jay in the Mojave

Hello Wirejockey: I installed a few of those Big Momma Antennas on Vans and Trucks and they worked really well. Jay in the Mojave

Hello QRN: Yes I am sure the marketing guys at Yaesu had their ear to the ground in the marketing of the 101 radios. I had a contact inside Yaesu, that said that 30 to 40 percent of the 101 radios where going to other than the ham market. So I am sure there was bunch of the radios going to...

Hello Cyclops 1970: I am gonna disagree with you here while trying not to be disagreeable. Your never going to get the CB Radio service to clean up, as compared to the Amateur Radio Service, as if the Amateur Radio Service has a clean slate. I listen in on 80 40 and 20 all the time. The...

Hello Nomaderadio: OH REALLY! Hehehehhehe and the hits just keep on coming!!! Great info there. Ok so now they need a modem, ground rod, and of course repeaters every 1/2 mile or so. I can't wait to hear when a high voltage isolation unit fails and sends high voltages into someones...

Hello CW Morse: Great points made there. I am working to find a power company engineer that will be able to tell me the engineering needed, and power system grid checks needed to start a BPL System. The inputs I am hearing now is the power system grids take a certain amount of...

Hello Woody: I once contacted a magazine advertisement department to place a add in there magazine. While in the conversation I suggested a attractive lady be pictured and the Interceptor 10-K Antenna in the background. With "Women will adore you and men will fear you" as the text. The...

Hello Woody: Ok good deal, I got a kick out of all that. Maybe you can get some hot sexy honey with a short skirt to walk around the outside with the Interceptor 10K in the Background. Ok I 'll settle down....... Oh yeah! Hehehhehehehehe I started looking over all your "Nuff...

Hello Highlander 821: Well lets hope that doesn't happen. A few things I haven't heard anyone talk about yet is having a filter for the BPL Interference, and the power grid system cost to maintain the BPL System vs data transmission reliability. I am sure a filter that would install...

Hello 443: That one copy of the Starduster is Junk Incorparated. If any anteanna gets the Junk awad its that one. I have a Astroplane copy that didn't look to bad. I never put it up tho. Jay in the Mojave www.a1antennas.com <img src=http://www.wwdx.org/smilies/posticon44.gif...

Hello Bahama Papa: Please let us know how the 4 element quad beam antenna works out for you. Hello Marconi: This is how it is feed. It not feed like the PDL-II like I thought it was. www.wwdx.org/jays/SE4%20D...lement.JPG Jay in the Mojave <img...

Hello All: Here is more info on Broad Band over Power lines. A method of using the existing power lines to transmit digital data. Which will interfere with HF and some VHF Radio Services. The ARRL has a new posting on the subject. www.hamwave.com/cgi-bin/i...ews&id=626 Jay in the...

Hello Sanghunter: The 36 feet long vertical radiator element would not be able to be supported by itself, guy wires would have to be used. And you would want to use aluminum tubing, as its much lighter. The differance between copper and aluminum is insigificant as far as antenna...

Hello Marconi: I am going by my memory here, I will pull the assembly instructions from my files and see. As I am not really certain that we are singing from the the same song sheet here. But I am sure the connection to quad driven loop is the same. I don't remember a insulator in the...

Hello Marconi: Marconi Said: "Jay, you have seen this antenna first hand, right? Would you agree that this tuner, the hot side only for now, is about a 1/4 wave long and that it hooks directly to the loop at one of the corners, a fiberglass support, and that this wire loop is ruffly a full...

Hello Dawginfi: I have to somewhat agree with you there. I helped a local put up a SE 4 element Quad Beam Antenna. I have to go back home and get better clamps, and some Dilrin for the tuning wire mounts. And this was a new out of the box antenna!?!?!?!?!? We asembled the antenna per...

Hello All: Ok here is some info I have learned that I will share here. When I first tested the Crusader 10K 5 Element Yagi Beam Antenna I saw a really low SWR something like 1 to 1.1 So I didn't give the matching to much thought. But the SWR was a lie as the beam worked like dog poop...
