    50ft tilt crank up/tower w/pics

    Those are very nice towers for sure. I have a Mosley TA-53M with the 40 meter dipole,M2 6M5X,Cushcraft 215WB,& Hi-Gain VB-214FM so this tower will be far from overloaded. Best thing is I can work on everything by myself & no more worries about hurricane damage. It's motor driven as well so for...

    50ft tilt crank up/tower w/pics

    I know this is an Old thread but I just found one of these towers and it has the specs for up to 110 mph and with no guy wires it’s rated at 28.8 sq ft of windload and with guy wires it’s rated at 40 sq ft of windload.It made me decide that I was putting it up and not another ROHN 25 that I...

    I bet that tree limbs are Murder on that thing.I tried using 4 different resonators and adding the fourth one in the center stud made all of the rest out of tune badly.I finally gave up and replaced them with a Lil Tarheel HP & No more issues with high SWR.

    Does it have the 6LF6 tubes or is it an older model? I believe there were three different tube variations over the years & maybe four? Some converted to the 8950's but they cost an arm & a leg now so not very smart. I was thinking 500 to 600 was about the Top of the output for them but again...

    Still seems high for that amp. Have you ever looked at it on a scope? I have not read the specs on those tubes in a very long time either but I could be wrong about what it should be putting out?

    What kind of wattmeter are you seeing the PEP output on? That seems like a lot of power from a 300A ?

    200 watts is more than enough for working Any DX. I have worked the world with ease on 10 watts from my ICOM 703 PLUS. What DX can't be worked with 200 watts? Anyone not working DX on 10 meters with 200 watts is using a Dummy Load for an antenna. In a Contest everyone is 59 so power does not...

    I Rarely ever log any QSO's & when I do it' in my paper logs. I have really bad Arthritis so it's painful to write & I don't do any form of electronic logs. I feel it's a personal choice & a log is not required & has not been for a long time. I am a DX Chaser for the most part on HF & I chase...

    PEP Conversion for DRAKE W-4 Wattmeter

    I have been using his PEP Kit in my WELZ SP-600 for 6 meters for many years & it also works very well. He makes some great products for a great price & he's a good guy from all I have heard.

    It makes as much sense as saying, This is W4KVW for id purposes. For what other reason would you give your call sign other than for id purposes? LOL {:>)

    Parallel Operation of 2 Astron RS-70's ...

    I know I read it as well & I thought it was in the manual to the RS-70M but I have no idea where that manual is since I no longer have that supply. I know I did not dream it.
