Re: [AMRadio] Tower ID
Thanks Ed and Eddy for the information. It fits what I have. 73 Jim - Original Message - DELHI DMX series. Made in Canada. Come in various grades and sizes. I have a Delhi DMXHD 48, with one extra section. Tops out at 56'. Sections are 8' each less about 6 inches for fitting. Very robust. Good tower, and some think far superior to Rohn.

Re: [AMRadio] Tower ID
Hi Jim, Those part numbers you quoted --- as well as the general shape of the tower --- sound an awful like parts of am old Delhi Antenna Towers-brand tower that I've had for some 27 years here...! Indeed, I use one to elevate my Hy-Gain TH3 Mk 3 yagi: 48', self-supporting, with a taper from wide at the base, to narrow at the very top. Each individual section is 8' long, too... The part numbers that I have on hand here are similar to those that you quoted, but slightly different: ex., the individual factory part numbers used in my 48-footer are DMX7 (bottom section), through to DMX2T (top). Your part numbers may well be indicative of new numbers assigned to Delhi products as a consequence of Wade Antennas purchasing the company awhile back. Both outfits were / are Canadian-based, here in southern Ontario. Click onto this website for more dope on Wade: http://www.westernequipment.com/Docs/DMXN%20Announcement.pdf I hope this helps! The old Delhi's were VERY rugged systems --- I couldn't be more pleased here with mine...and judging by what's on the Wade Antennas website, they're even better now... Good luck, Jim --- I hope this helps you... ~73!~ Eddy VE3CUI - VE3XZ * - Original Message - From: "Jim Wilhite" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> To: "AM Radio Discussion List" Sent: Saturday, November 08, 2008 12:06 PM Subject: [AMRadio] Tower ID > I hope someone here can identify this tower.

RE: [AMRadio] Tower ID
DELHI DMX series. Made in Canada. Come in various grades and sizes. I have a Delhi DMXHD 48, with one extra section. Tops out at 56'. Sections are 8' each less about 6 inches for fitting. Very robust. Good tower, and some think far superior to Rohn.

I hope someone here can identify this tower. If you are familiar with the Rohn BX series of towers, it is similar. The Rohn (now manufactured by Thomas Shelby) has straight legs from the bottom of each section to about 2 ft. from the top where it angles inward to mate with the next section. This tower is not built like that. The metal and construction are the same and the sizes are the same; however each of the legs are straight from bottom to top. They reduce in size like the Rohn version but they are angled inward from bottom to top. The Rohn towers require 9/16" bolts in the bottom 2 sections whereas this tower uses 1/2". Also the towers have a number stamped on the cross braces to identify the section. The numbers on this tower is DBX-A-121 to DBX-B-134. Does this mean anything to anyone? If you know the manufacturer or have contact information for them, I would appreciate it. 73 Jim/W5JO __ Our Main Website: http://www.amfone.net AMRadio mailing list Searchable Archives: http://www.mail-archive.com/amradio@mailman.qth.net/ List Rules (must read!): http://w5ami.net/amradiofaq.html List Home: http://mailman.qth.net/mailman/listinfo/amradio Help: http://mailman.qth.net/mmfaq.html Post: mailto:AMRadio@mailman.qth.net To unsubscribe, send an email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word unsubscribe in the message body.
