Re: [drakelist] New QTH

DW - PVC will work well.  You can do a simple insulation job by using the typical foam insulation sold at most Home Improvement stores - once you are done running the coax.  It will expand to fill the gaps and is easy to cut out later if you have to.  All of my Home AC, dryer vents, and Roof ve

RE: [drakelist] New QTH

Hi gang,   In my opinion, the EZHang is great!  It takes a bit of practice, and you'll probably go through quite a few sinkers, but I'm up nearly 70' on one end of a 204' 160M G5RV(M) in my back yard.  Please be careful with any neighbors or power lines, though.  Once, mine went over the tre

Re: [drakelist] New QTH

The device to which you refer is available at www.ezhang.com .  A friend of mine has one that he loans out to the hams in the community.  Boy...does it work as advertised.  If one grew up with a bean flip, it's a snap to get a line over a 60 ft. tree...and over the exact limb...  I have tried the

[drakelist] New QTH

Hello,   I have a couple of questions that I hope someone can help me with.   First, My new Shack is in a converted garage, with more space than I have ever had in the past. My question is, what is the best way to make a hole for coax/450 ohm ladder line  to leave the shack?  I just finished

Re: [drakelist] Socket config from AC-4 to TR-4

Hi Stephen,   Recently, when I had my AC-4 open, I was confused by the pinout diagram in the manual. If I recall, you have to look at it from the wire end of the connector to have the numbering correct (I wonder if the connector pins are numbered inside).   Let me know if this solves your problem.

[drakelist] AC3 hum

Hi all,   I am using an AC3 in combination with my T4XC. Recently I exchanged all the caps and I find that the transformer makes a loud hum ever since. More than before exchanging the caps I think. Especially if I mount the PSU inside the MS4 cabinet, it sounds like a nuclear power plant,
