If you can find me universal stingers that are longer than 70 in I'd appreciate it, the longest thing that I can find is a Wilson stinger at 62 or 66 in

Im in the usa

Hmmm .. at $145 shipping...ill pass

So I installed the sirio fighter 5000 the one that folds over, on a Wilson rooftop mount. Worked out great antenna tuned up pretty quick. So far I like it, I would like a replacement stinger though. When I got it in shipping it got bent. I know it doesn't really amount to much but I would like...

Thank you thank you thank you

Maybe. Any links i could read up on?

Probably over a decade ago I remember looking at a website and this gentleman did something very clever. He had a couple of stacked Yagis on top of a tower, each one covered a different band.. but he did something with a box with a bunch of relays in it where I think what he did was disconnect...

You can get more power but they also take more drive

Ha ha, certainly not . And I didn't tell that story as a testament to my boxes, it was just pure luck and the fact that the toshibas were rugged. I also think if the coax was shorted that it would have certainly blown up, I think having it open is what saved it

True story about a 16 pill toshiba box. I built one for my buddy a late sk, he and i were dicking around with his station, switching stuff all around etc. we finally went to re key to test and we had really poor receive. We keyed the 16 pill and my locals were saying we sounded all fucked up...

The typical hg 4 pill now, if they are the c variant, is 800w or so. Toshiba 5 pills routinely did 1-1.2kw. Crusher made alot of posts years ago about the hg's. He found out, along with alot of others, just matching the pills, while crucial now, is not enough. Every part needs to be matched to...

@nomadradio I have a 3D printer, get me the file or get me a cover I could probably make you the file. If not just give me the STL and I'll print it for you see how it comes out

Yup. People forget that gain and efficiency are separate things

Speaking of drive, simply stated, a biased amplifier takes less drive than an unbiased one.

Usually 10% of the output power is a good start for input power. So if you have a 450 watt amp 40 Watts going in is not unreasonable. You could also use less. Set carrier power to 25% of max pep

Great guys at penta. I buy loads from them. Even the big stuff has been great in spite of the naysayers

My back hurts looking at that thing. Makes me wonder if there was a contest to build heavy 811a amps that i was unaware of. The heathkit warrior was way too heavy to make the power it did.

That is the cleanest maco i ever dun seen

I seem to remember opening up an amplifier like this a long time ago and somebody had used some kind of a tin can as a shield for one of the tubes I don't know if it was a mako but I remember seeing a tin can bolted over the deck over a tube like literally a small soup can. It might have had...
