Re: [AFMUG] Stopping tower rust

That was the “LENS”. The “CLIP” was their second generation. Kind of like a Stinger, but didn’t couple to the patch and re-radiate, more of a clip-on horn. And it worked with dual polarization. I actually liked it, unlike the 450b mid-gain, it narrowed both the vertical and horizontal beamwi

Were those the stinger like thing? If so, they were a dielectric lens antenna, cannot imagine a coating helping. Sent from my iPhone > On Nov 5, 2020, at 4:55 PM, Ken Hohhof wrote: > >  > Any idea what Cambium sprayed inside their CLIPs? I think it was a bronze or > purple color. > > F

All the original stingers used arc sprayed zinc on the reflector. Same stuff as hot dipped galvanized. Same stuff as welding or grinding on galvanized steel pipe. We vaporized it. I inhaled tons of it over the years. It doesn’t hurt you but if you get too much you will have a sleepless ni

Re: [AFMUG] Stopping tower rust

The bottom line is, if it’s a Rohn tower, it’s almost certainly galvanized not stainless. If there’s some rust on the cross members and step bolts, it’s probably that people stepping on them wore through the galvanizing? You could remove the rust with a steel brush and spray with cold galva

Re: [AFMUG] Stopping tower rust

Brown rust. You can cause it with muriatic acid, but when I have tried to do it in the past, my outcome was not uniform. Maybe it would have been OK with some weathering but it was not aesthetically pleasing initially. From: Bill Prince Sent: Thursday, November 5, 2020 9:20 AM To: af@af.afm

Re: [AFMUG] Stopping tower rust

there are some different galvanizing processes.  HDG is distinctively gray and lumpy so I'm sure you wouldn't mistake that for stainless, but yeah maybe you've got something electro galvanized or similar.  Is this a little TV antenna tower?  Almost every comm tower from 30 years ago would

Re: [AFMUG] Stopping tower rust

Surface rust is of absolutely no consequence. I have black iron towers that were constructed 40 years ago that have substantial surface rust. While not pretty, it is structurally insignificant. If it looks more like discoloring than rust, which if the galv is good is what it usually looks like, I w
