Yes, but do the rare earth magnets suck your 40 meter signal into the fan and then expel it out on 20 meters?

No physical changes to my TR-4CW/RIT, and easy removal for filter cleaning , I super-glued a couple of rare earth magnets to my fan. The magnets shown are larger in diameter than necessary... but I didn't have any smaller on hand. Also, RTV to mount the fan speed control. As soon as the smaller magnets (allow more flexibility in positioning) arrive I will replace the large dia magnets.

Re: [Drakelist] Mounting Fans
I use surplus 24 volt fans and half wave rectifier and cap off of the filament line. Nice and quiet. As for mounting, I use grommets between fan and cage with small nylon wire ties. I think there are about as many options as there are style of fans :-) 73, Ron WD8SBB ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
Re: [Drakelist] Mounting Fans
The smaller plastic 12 volt 2" fans will mount using the existing holes in the PA cage. I used the filament supply to power the fan. 73, Gary___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
Re: [Drakelist] Mounting Fans
Emil, Nice way to mount the fan AND will greatly increase the life of your finals. Welcome to the list, and thanks for the tip!! 73, Don, WB5HAK ___ Drakelist mailing list Drakelist@zerobeat.net http://mailman.zerobeat.net/mailman/listinfo/drakelist
[Drakelist] Mounting Fans
I haven't been on the list very long, and I don't know if this has been covered before: I used this method for mounting three fans on the radiator for my computer. No physical changes to my TR-4CW/RIT, and easy removal for filter cleaning , I super-glued a couple of rare earth magnets to my fan. The magnets shown are larger in diameter than necessary... but I didn't have any smaller on hand. Also, RTV to mount the fan speed control. As soon as the smaller magnets (allow more flexibility in positioning) arrive I will replace the large dia magnets.
