Re: [Repeater-Builder] Shipping an antenna

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Shipping an antenna
3 - 4 years ago, I wrapped a 22' Sinclair (Comm Prod Stationmaster look-alike) with 3 bath towels, rope tied that to the top of my Chevy Suburban for a 175 mile trip form one radio site to another.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Shipping an antenna
No roof rack on a rental sedan from an airport. No roof rack on my car or truck, besides it would interfere with the roof-mounted dual-band antennas - can't have that. I could drive my truck to the airport and tie it into the bed; only a few feet would stick out the back. That would seem to be the only way to get it home. I think it would be easier to pay UPS to ship and deliver it. Now I just have to get my friend to put it in a tube and get it to his UPS depot.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Shipping an antenna
No the antenna is NOT able to be made shorter. I think either UPS or FedEx will take up to 160 inches of length plus girth, so we should be OK. Someone else suggested sending it as checked luggage, which is a possibility, except for the problem of getting it from the airport to me. A 10ft antenna won't fit into the vehicle and no one wants to drive an hour with the windows open in February in CT. Bob M. == --- "Mark A.

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.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Shipping an antenna
Wouldn't the antenna be better protected with the thicker pipe? I think that 165 inch limit would allow 120 inches for length, and a 10x10 inch box dimension; if I used 6 inch diameter pipe, I should be around 144 inches. Of course, end caps would add a couple to that. Bob M. == --- Robin Midgett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > Yes, I have shipped such packages. > I believe UPS's limit is 165" total, length and > girth.

Re: [Repeater-Builder] Shipping an antenna
Yes, I have shipped such packages. I believe UPS's limit is 165" total, length and girth. Your package in a PVC tube shouldn't be a problem. BTW, there are different wall thicknesses of PVC..the stuff used for drain pipe has thinner walls, but the same O.D. so the same fittings work between types of pipe. So, if it makes any difference concerning getting the item in the tube, choose the thin wall drain pipe instead of schedule 40 or some such, which is rated for higher pressure and has thicker walls.

[Repeater-Builder] Shipping an antenna
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.
