Very nice work! Thanks for the information. ohhh and wtb: laser 400 plot :) Josh

6db does sound about correct. That is probably an accurate figure considering the landscape and nearly a wavelength in lost elevation. I am fully aware of the shortcomings of cb meters. This is a very good point. I feel like it was worth it though. In the shootout situation, I was able to gain...

Ohh, nice setup.. I used to have an e5200 and I loved that thing, like $50 and it was doing nearly 4ghz on air. Nothing like that 8400 doing 5ghz, insane clocks bro. 4ghz is far more than needed for what I use it for (visual studio 2008, movies, tv eps, forums, lol). I haven't played many games...

Go for it.. had to erase like 70 msgs, sorry :) Josh

Lazy, Everybody's doing real well.. 350 got his antenna in a pine tree and with that elevation he is murderin folks, lol. I got a 3 3-500z tube box next to my desk and a set of laser 400's that I'm going to be putting on the tower soon as it gets warm enough to actually mess with it. W.W...

Great upgrade Lazybones :) Those antenna's talk real well. Josh

Shoot.. 3000a7 mobile or base? Josh

I would guess a maximum of 3500-4000 watts, but that's just a guess... With enough drive and juice it'd probably surpass 4kw.. I wouldn't run it higher than that personally tho. This would obviously require 220v connection. In theory it should pretty handily maul on a 16 pill. Peace, Josh

Man, that thing was so damn bent, lol. That was probably the funniest thing I've seen all week.. Josh

Yes, I had planned on using the 3/16" EHS in that texas towers add. Do you think that would be sufficient? I actually already have the clamps, turnbuckles, and thimbles.. He gave me 2 clamps for each guy wire in the event one comes loose or has a problem. I can see it might be worth...

Thanks for the compliment's.. when a tower could fall on my house and/or on someone or something I own, I feel a little research is in need. Unfortunately I still barely grasp the amazing amount of variables that there are when planning a tower for one's particular intended use and limitations...

I picked up my tower yesterday, and have been sorta planning some things. The manual states I need 72' for the distance from guys to tower on my tower.. is it possible to do this at 64' with the loss of a little wind resistance? Where I live 2 locals have towers up.. one has a 90' with...

My experience is v5/8 and imax 2000 both perform almost exactly 2s units difference.. I did not find much difference between the imax 2000 and/or v5/8. That being said.. I agree with the guy above.. save up a little.. however long it takes you to come up with $50 more and go for the imax...

Get an antron.. do not use a 102" whip. Josh

We shootout a lot. It's a difficult situation to explain. It is misleading to say 5 miles, because a lot of the guys me and my neighbors (some less than a 1/4 mile) shootout to are 15-20 miles away. However, my main concern was that I would have a hard time hearing people east/west of me...

Raised it up about 5 more feet so that it is a total of 34 feet to the feedpoint right now, and I gotta say.. That is half the height of my i10k which is 77-78' to feedpoint. The 5 element beam destroys it.. by a solid 2 S units, even with it being this low.. I can't wait til it's on a...

Bought a m105c today for real cheap and finished assembly last night! It's on a 17 foot pole right now on my 12 foot deck, so it's 29 feet to feed point right now just to tinker.. I could raise it up 15-20 feet more, but would rather not. Thanks a ton for your advice. The 26' boom is not...

I have 2 sets of m103c's, and I'm considering getting a stacking boom and putting them up on a tower about 80' up. How would this perform in comparison to say a 7 element Maco, or a 5 element Maco. Would it be wiser to just get a 7 element and ditch the 3 element's? Or would the gain be...

galyn.. how does the jo gunn compare at 40 ft vs the imax at 100 ft? Thanks, Josh
