Hy_Gain 14 Element Ham Radio Log Periodic Antenna Raised onto 70ft tower

http://www.hamradiofinds.com This was the scene recently at Dave's place W5SV, just north of Austin, Tx., where a Hy-Gain LP-1010 14 Element Log Periodic ham radio antenna was raised onto a 70ft free standing tower, with the help of a crane..There is a 5 element Cushcraft 6 meter beam above the lp..We had quite an interesting time with this project..All went fine until one of the forward elements got tied up with the boom of the crane..No damage was done to the LP, though you can see where it is now out of alignment with the rest of the elements..Will have to use a crane with a bucket to repair problem..After the installation was completed, coaxes & rotor hooked up, SWR checked fine on all bands from 30 to 6 meters..

The crew consisted of Craig KB5BI ( in the blue shirt), our tower monkey Tim KE5CFZ & myself, Mel WA5UTK..Dave was somewhere in the background..

Thanks for viewing & reading..73s, Mel

Cushcraft A3S Tri-band HF Ham Radio Beam Antenna Installed On Tower

http://www.kcomm.biz This was the scene at Clay's W5ZPV house here in San Antonio, Tx as his Cushcraft A3S 3 Element Tri-band Ham Radio Yagi Beam Antenna was put up on the tower..Our crew consisted of my brother Tim KE5CFZ who is the tower monkey, along with myself (behind the camera) & the boss, Craig KB5BI..The beam was tested & all checks were good..73s, Mel, WA5UTK 



W2RE Amateur Radio

2008 W2RE finished a 4 month antenna project that swapped out antennas and added antennas to maximize gain using HFTA. The new antennas and stacks will maximize gain with the guide of the HFTA (N6BV) software. 


OH2LZC MOBILE IN HARBOUR OF HELSINKI

A nice contact to Florida from the car with a small mobile whip antenna! I am in the harbour of Helsinki, right by the sea. I had a nice day of ham radio with super sea view.  

OH2K WORKING AO-51 FM SATELLITE

We have been re-activating satellite activity from our radio club... This is AO-51, a low orbit 2m/70cm fm-satellite. Since all traffic is on one frequency, things are usually quite hectic because everybody has only a few minutes to have contacts in the pass... 


OH2K ANTENNA MAINTENANCE #3

The access to the highest roof level where the tower is located requires strong nerves with the rusty ladder... 


OH2K ANTENNA MAINTENANCE #1

It is a rainy sunday afternoon, despite the wet conditions we are on the roof giving yagi antennas some needed attention. 


OH2K ANTENNA MAINTENANCE #2

Here is a preview of all the yagi-antennas lying on the roof waiting for replacement parts (mostly bolts, nuts and clamps)  

OH2K: 40 METER YAGI MAINTENANCE

On the beginning of March 2008 we are lowering the 2-el yagi for 40 meters down from the tower for maintenance. This "big gun" has given excellent dx - from Australia to Aruba!

JA2QXY(Hawk) Home-brew Monster ANT 7MHz&18MHz

This time around,assist designing in Antenna,He was intransigent about simulator design that's why monumental reprise until the very last minute.
At long last,He take action biuld Monster Antenna during Golden Week 2008.
I learned anew many thing from his design concept. JH9MEV also JQ2NZY 



How not to take down a house antenna

While removing this old antenna tower from the house using what we thought was a good plan, did all but successfully let the tower down; hitting awnings and ripping off shingles as it crashed into the house.

Tower installation part 4

I had to raise it but without the antenna because I'm having obstructing limbs cut down for clearance of the arch radius. I had to get the tower out of the way so the limbs do not crush my tower upon falling to the ground. As soon as the limbs are cut, I can then raise the tower with the antennas on it. 



Tower installation part 3

Video 3 of the tower installation involves the assembled tower on its side and I added my 10 meter dipole to it. I'll add my 2 meter ringo ranger once I'm ready to raise the tower. All of the coax is secured to the sides of the tower along with the rotor cable. I find out I need to trim some over head limbs from a tree above because the arc of til axis looks like it would conflict with the raise. I installed a 4x6 pressure treated arsenic saturated post behind the tower of which I will be adding a 1500lbs capacity hand winch to along with a pulley for anti friction.



Tower installation part 2

I dug holes 28" deep through soil and clay, then positioned concrete cylinders. Sequentially I then tapped each 3 foot long 3/4"-10 threaded dowel into the bottom of the hole surface in relation to each corresponding hole on the hinge plate. Once all threaded dowels were established, I poured quickcrete into each cylinder to the brim. I joined all four of the inner exposed concrete forms by digging a pit in the center and filling it too with concrete. After the concrete solidified, I mounted the hinge plate on the foundation. I actually screwed on some 3/4" nuts n each threaded dowel so that I could manually adjust the height of each corner should there be any mistake (inevitably there was). I placed the bottom tower section on the hinge plate and secured it with provided screws on the hinge brackets. 


Tower pre-installation part 1

I got this tower from a fellow ham radio club member who got it from a CB'er. All I had to do was donate $100 to the club treasury and it was all mine! It is 33 feet in addition to a 10 foot mast. I wont be putting a lot of antenna weight on so the aluminum mast and tv antenna rotor will do just fine! I'll be mounting a 10 meter dipole and a 2 meter ringo ranger onto it and possibly even stringing up a dipole on it as well. I will upload videos of the tower erected and with antennas in due coarse.

FieldComm TV - raising HF antenna

Video of the crane raising the antenna into place. Yes, we know it slammed into the crane...But we got that sorted out and put it into place.  


Part 3 Raising the Tower

This completes the 3 Part series on Installing and Raising the Tower and Antenna. The Antenna is a M2 KT36XA - 6-element tri-bander on a 32' foot boom. These are the still photos, video to follow once I reload my Avid Edit S/W on the computer. 


Part 2: Installing a Ham Radio Tower; Setting the Foundation.

This is Part 2 of a 3 Part Series covering Installing a Ham Radio Tower. This video covers digging the hole, dropping in the rebar cage and pouring the cement foundation. 


Part 1: Installing a Ham Radio Tower - Getting the Tower

Covers the installation of a 55' US Tower HDX-555 

SSV Tower Base

This clip shows the concrete pour and finishing for the base of my Rohn SSV ham radio Tower. The completed tower will be a self-supporting 100 foot tower used for amateur radio and local emergency communications.

Benny's ham radio antenna and tower work

A short time lapse video of Benny, John, and the crane putting up a 6 meter quad and a 20 meter beam. But first, Benny takes down a couple of antennas to make some room!

The video was taken at 1 frame every 2 seconds. It plays back at 30 frames per second.



Petes Moon Bounce Station Central Kansas

This is a video shot on 1 Jan 2010 of Pete's Station in Central Kansas. The highlight is the massive 28 foot 1.2 GHz Dish mounted on the navy Gunturrent. The echo demonstration off the moon, both on CW and Voice was amazing. Can't wait to see what Pete puts up on the other new towers he installed on the site this fall.
