Next Time someone wants to get backstab happy or play AJ politics be prepared to set your club station up in the garage. and better pray that it does not rain the time it was taken down either. I was at a meeting where some AJ roadraces lost their repeater site'and this past week the Arbritron Ratings that station was in the top 5 in this area. Marow of this story... If you have a AJ Roadrace is about to do something like that better contact above management for a replacement ASAP otherwise your stuff may in boxes and singinging in the rain. or worse you was to be called out and SOL ! mark h.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Micor Recrystalled Element Problem
If you wonder if its the 11 Meter Mantality if they thought a Killowatt would operate a repeater they probably would install it ! between the golden screwdriver and crank up the output to full max and the theory of heat, light smoke ! I seen a coffee machine smoke a relay board here a few months ago. also if they jump when a cap goes off like a fire cracker then they might think twice ! mark h.

Many of the local hams that figure "if a little gain is good, then a whole lot more must be a lot better." 40-watt PA decks driving 100-watt PA decks, receiver preamplifiers running wide open at high-RF sites, single-shield coax for jumpers, RG-8 type coax for feedlines, no isolators/circulators anywhere, etc. etc. Trying to explain or reason with them just falls on deaf ears, and I'm the "Bad Guy". Then, after getting into a good repeater site, they continue to bring in (sneak in) more and more equipment (much more thn they had originally made arrangements for) without asking anyone who is actually involved with the site. Then they get kicked out of the site completely, ruining it for any hams who want to put up something in the same place (and do it properly!) in the future.

Perhaps the best analogy would be a Hewlett-Packard power meter, where the sensor is matched to, and calibrated with, the meter itself. If the sensor should somehow be destroyed by accident, one could not simply purchase a new sensor and expect it to work with the existing meter. One must ship the meter and the sensor back to the factory for alignment and calibration. Like the crystal and the channel element, they are a "matched pair." While I understand and respect the opinions of those who maintain that Amateur Radio transmitters can embrace a much more relaxed level of precision than commercial transmitters, I cannot help but wonder why this feeling is so pervasive. My personal feeling is that the public impression of Amateur Radio (notice the capitals!) is greatly enhanced when such installations meet or exceed the workmanship levels found in a typical commercial installation. Many others more vocal than I have lamented that some installations by Amateur Radio licensees have been so amateurish that they demean the name. I submit that an Amateur Radio repeater should always incorporate the State of the Art, with the appropriate bandpass cavities, isolators, filters, and components that will ensure a reliable, trouble-free installation. Moreover, I cringe when I hear that a substandard installation is okay, simply because it's "only" an Amateur Radio project!

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Shipping an antenna
UPS has this chain thing for measurements, but if the critter is over 70 lbs then it goes into a overweight class, my 1st. Q. is is that antenna a type you can separate like a pool stick ? I may expect obviously not , so you may wish to check all carriers for something like that. Burlington Air Freight , FED EX , just to name a few off the top. when I worked shipping at night we configured box packaging and tape and more tape , they were shipped in the right company. mark h. Bob M. wrote: I need to get a 10 foot long fiberglass antenna from Florida to Connecticut. It can probably be encased in some PVC plastic tubing. It'll weigh between 20 and 30 pounds when packaged. UPS and FedEx have some crazy size and weight limitations. At least the UPS web site tells me the maximum length plus girth (essentially circumference or square surface dimension) but FedEx is less user-friendly. Anyone have any experience shipping this kind of thing? It's NOT a 22 ft Super StationMaster but it IS one piece.

The strap would simply provide a leak to ground to prevent the charge on the vehicle from ever reaching a level that could arc, probably at the hose end where an arc to something could ignite the vapors. And this charge would only be a problem while stopped and preparing to dispense fuel. Maybe I'm wrong, but a charge on a vehicle while traveling would not be a huge problem...

Re: [Repeater-Builder] polyphaser Help
Polyphaser has a booklet on site ( if they still publish it free ) talks about proper grounding, we had a old saying in Electrical school if in doubt ground it ! my ad on is ground every place from transciever to the antenna . transciever, amplifier, filter, tuner, lightning protection, tower, etc.. it makes saftey sense. mark h. ab8ru Chuck Kelsey wrote: Don't waste your money on a PolyPhaser unless you can implement a good ground system. And I'm not talking about a simple ground to an electrical outlet. And a PolyPhaser on the antenna with none on the power line makes the entire process worthless. ALL lines attaching to the outside world need protective devices. I'd suggest that you get a copy of PolyPhaser's grounding series that explains all this in detail. I don't know where you might get a copy other than a Google search. Chuck WB2EDV [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: Replacing a small, rooftop (about 90ft) repeater setup.

Back in the Sixties I helped install dozens of thirty and forty foot Rohn towers for TV receivers and never used the first bag of cement when using a house bracket. Many of these towers are still in use today. With a good house bracket installation you should be able to go twenty feet above the house bracket. Dig a hole about two feet deep and put your first section in it. Put a couple of bricks under the two legs next to the house. Put an inch or two of pea gravel in for drainage. If you do the house bracket right (bolted into something very substantial) it will last forever. Been putting them up this way for more than forty years but will quit when the first one falls down. A piece of Rohn 25 will break into before you can move it sideways if it's two feet in the ground. I repeat, there is no good reason to use concrete with a good house bracket install! Let the house bracket do its job. If you still feel you must use concrete at least keep the top of the slab six inches or more below grade. That way when you move you can cut the tower off below grade and there is no visable evidence that there was ever a tower there.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Tower Installation
Also try Champion Towers they have some Gr8 insight of the what NOT to do also it seems like they have a wind chart I think, good for knowing what to expect. Mark Tomany wrote: Doug, Try this link: http://www.rohnindustries.com/ROHNNET/rohnnet2004/html2004/index.html Then click on "On-Line Catalog" on the left side of the page. This will open a PDF screen on the page. Choose the "GT Series" towers, then "25G", and finally "Foundation Details". You can print these out if you need the "engineering diagrams" from Rohn for your project. Also - you might want to bookmark this link - it does not show up readily with a Google search... :-) FWIW, I have a 60' Rohn 25G, set 4' in the ground and bracketed to my house at 28'. (By design, the overall height is 56' above ground.) I then have a 10' mast, with 6' above the crown of the tower, and a Diamond X500NA to the top of that, and - until recently - a Winegard super fringe TV antenna just below that. I also have three other antennas side-mounted about 20' down the tower. This towerhas survived 18 years now in northern Illinois, and recently only required that some of the mounting bolts be replaced due to tower movement wear on the bolts themselves - something that I'm told is a fairly common issue. Once the bolts were replaced, the tower was again strong and secure. A 30' tower will surely serve you very well, especially if you decide to bracket that to your house. As some have suggested, make certain that you get your approval in writing before constructing your tower. Good luck on your poroject. 73 de Mark - N9WYS Doug Fitts W7FDF [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: My last posting for 2005 with a question: My home owners association with their CCR's and other regs [here in my community of Vail, Arizona] has "seen the light" regarding new FCC legislation on antenna and tower installation parameters and height restrictions. They [the association] recently sent me a monthly Newsletter [December issue] which specifically acknowledges word for word, that the "Federal Communications Commission [FCC] passed legislation that prohibits associations from restricting individual members from receiving adequate transmission signals". Yes, I did after reading this fired off an email to the manager of the association [this morning] asking that they send me what is called an Architectural Improvement form so I can submit my "project"...to install a 30 foot Rohn tower for my 900 mhz antenna system and other antennas related to repeater/remotebase and other link systems [a.k.a, antenna farm on a tower]. My question on a typical tower installation and please keep in mind...I have no experience in this area other then as a "helper" with other installations years ago. Can someone direct me to a website or specifically explain how best to "lay the foundation" to install a 30 foot Rohn tower without guy wires. Yes, I plan, once I purchase the tower sections [working on that with a local Ham] to secure the second bottom section to the eave of the house. In short, I think I want to sink/install the first five foot section of the tower into the ground, use rebar for added support and firmness, pour cement to "fill the hole" at the base of a five foot section of the tower, then secure the upper section to the eave of the house with steel brackets [that I may have to have formed and bent to the right config]. I am new at this so any and all suggestions on/from this list would be appreciated so very much. This will be my new 900 mhz repeater and remotebase project for 2006!! The wife and I have been living in our new home now 15 months and I really desire to install a quality antenna system for the three repeaters I currently operate and maintain. So please comment/send thoughts and suggestions on your own experiences with tower installatons.

Sentencing will be on March 6, 2006 at 1:30 P.M. at the same court, Roybal Federal Court, 255 E. Temple St, Los Angeles, Room 850.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Re: GMRS in USA
What the mfgrs do is that they have to say for example ABC Brand Radio Model number 123456789 they submit so many of that model number, the units undergo the process with all the equiptment to see if they meet a certain criteria something like this... Frequency Stability in ppm Mike Audio weather AM FM or SSB the spectrum analizer will show type certified signals filtered to a certain db level Harmonics any unusual frequencies are they supressed? If say an RF Amplifier is it made to show Zero Db Gain on 26-27 Mhz. ( CB ) and cannot key the amp? before the stamped OK is put on the documents the FCC wants to make sure it will perform as stated besides would you want to hear endless YACK YACK from a Dirty CB radio over your TV ? I have a Q. for those I come into contact ... Say what if they decided to do away with all the filtering, can you imagine going down the road listening to some pager making all that DATA racket? makes these illegal operators think. Now you get an idea why the FCC has these rules for Type Certified. Paul Finch wrote: Johnny, What constitutes the loss of the FCC type acceptance?

Joe Reminds me of a small repeater I saw a dozen years ago. A regular outhouse building, but with no throne, off in the woods, but on the crest of a small hill. Inside was a pair of car batteries, a Johnson UHF PPL 6060 radio and a mobile duplexer. On the roof was a 2 foot by 4 foot solar panel facing south. Next to the building and strapped to it was a 30 foot pushup mast holding a short stationmaster. Taped to the Johnson was a xerox of a GMRS license. There is a GMRS conversion of a 6060 at repeater-builder. Mike WA6ILQ Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!

It is believed to be coming from one of the TV home transmitters, that one can buy from the local appliance shops. It is producing a signal right on teh input of our link. I have put an extra filter in line, but this did not fix it. I really do not want to do through the hassel of trying to get another set of freqencies at this stage. Shoudl add that when the RX is receiving a signal from the TX link, it overrides the interference nicely. The interference is just enough to open the squelch. Have thought about putting either CTCSS, or a newer DCS TX/RX boards in the link system. I have read somewhere that DCS is the better way to go.

Step should be the Repeater Coordinator Council that is their job to eliminate any paper repeaters in the system, and to coordinate you a frequency and you will need to establish as a Corrdinated Repeater, according to the FCC Rules 97. 205 (c) . and the thing is if you are uncoordianated, you will have to resolve any interference to the Coordinated Repeater. So as a Sugguestion being coordinated you can look into a frequency thru the council to see if you can find a quiet place to put up a repeater and based on where you may be a pancake flat terrain neighboring repeaters are so many miles away and using a CTCSS squelch would be a GR8 idea.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Ultimate test coax cables
Anyone should contact the power company if you are not a electrician, have them pull the meter socket . do that first if the seal is broken you will have a big problem explaining that. also I took a class back in 1984 that Meter Socket after you get an approval ( unless they have someone to come out according to their rules ) is stand off to the side, you may wake up on the ground with a meter stuck to your head and someone gets to use first aid on you or the EMS people are saying you ok !? also Buy the GOOD MOV's RCA used to have a SK series some time back, also ECG NTE are suppliers, and I have no info. nor want to start a flaming war over this and that. me sez no more.

We had a Radio Shack store in town catch on fire last year.Someone placed some combustible liquid next to a space heater and it burned 5 adjacent stores out in the strip mall before the fire was contained. Another thing people should be aware of is the MOV's in low quality plastic multi AC strip outlets. These cheap MOV's sometimesshort out and become very hot, resulting in melting the plastic multi outlet, then burning your house down. I hear this type of problem happens more than people realize. MOV's are good, they do a decent job and serve a useful purpose. But don't rely on a 30 cent item to protect everything in your home. Purchase a quality large MOV capable of handling a good amount of joules from an electrical outlet supplier. Install it on your service breaker panel box. It will protect your whole house. Check with your local electrical code prior to doing this. Many people are unawaresome lightning shots inter homes via the telephone line, not the AC line. MOV's are available for them also.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Repeater interference problem cured. Caused by Uniden scanner a mile away.
Very Interesting Mark , I know that in the past I recall vaugely that I have came accross some sort of oscillation that can be picked up on a particular frequency but the distance you mentioned is something that each of us can probably came across this some time or another. Meanwhile back 2 the auctions. Mark AB8RU Mark Ramsey wrote: Whew after nearly a year of interference to my uhf amateur radio repeater I found the problem. Turned out to be a Uniden scanner more than a mile away from repeater site! The local oscillator for channel 7 in the scanner was right on frequency for the repeaters input and was tripping the repeaters squelch every time it scanned by about once a second. The interference could not be heard from a mobile radio tuned to the repeaters input but could be heard well from a hand held hooked to the repeater antenna (db420). Many attempts had been made to find the trouble by driving around listening for the clicking sound generated by the scanner with no luck. By this time I had figured out it was a scanner causing the trouble because the problem would go away when there was activity on virtually any of the local police or fire channels, the scanner would stop scanning by channel 7 and the repeater would quit kirchunking. Completely fed up (can't take no more) I decided to take a different approach. I found by transmitting on one of the public service channels the scanner could be made to stop on that frequency, Yes I realize this not exactly legal but remember I can't take no more. Anyway after a few short transmissions away from the repeater site I found the general area. Now in that area I am able to switch on my service monitor and transmit a weak signal and attenuate it as I get closer the whole time listening to the repeater kirchunk. Finally I must be close I can hear the interference on my ht tuned to the repeaters input. Bad news it is an apartment complex with about 100 units crammed in a small area. Time to walk around complex with ht and listen. Wow now I have narrowed it down to 4 apartments! Let's talk to some of the neighbors standing outside. One person said it's got to be that mean old lady across the street she's got a scanner but you don't want to knock on her door she is just plain mean. Walked over there with ht, no problem not there thank goodness. Talked to someone else she said I know everyone here except apartment 4 and I can tell you no one has a scanner. I thanked her and knocked on apartment 4 door not knowing what to expect would they be nice would they be mean would they be understanding would they be home? The door opened one glance into the living room revealed a Uniden scanner. I explained the situation to the gentleman at the door who turned out to be one of the nicest people I have ever met. He allowed me access to his scanner and the channel causing interference to my repeater was one he doesn't even listen to nothing even in the area on that frequency. We programmed another frequency into channel 7 he's happy I'm ecstatic and the problem is cured. Thank you I said and drove home. Can you believe this? It's true. Yahoo! Groups Links Yahoo!
