Well, I just ordered a K7LXC OR-2800 Mast clamp. The original one from M2 is terrible...I mean terrible...
The new one one will not fail under the most harsh ice/wind combos we experience here in Western Mass. Yes! The same type of wind/ice that took K1TTT and KC1XX down hard!
45G tower is done:
2L30/2L40 @ 90 feet.
5L20 @ 78 feet
6L15 over 6L15 (fixed on EU) @ 65/32 feet
80m vertical (13000 feet of radials)
160m shunt fed tower (13000 feet of radials)
Have switch so I can remotely switch AND tune them with a motor driven vacuum variable cap!.Works wonderfully!!!
25G tower is 25% done.....
7L6m @ 80 feet
Force 12 4BA @ 70 feet
7L6m (side mounted with rotor) @ 32 feet
80m dipole @ 68 feet
75m dipole @ 68 feet
40m dipole @ 65 feet
SO2R station is all set up now....just waiting for 2x6 switch to be completed my W1UE (who is building it for me to save time).... that will complete the whole station.
ALL cables, control wires, beverage runs etc are laid out and will go in the ground hopefully tomorrow.
Rented a trench digger for the 300 foot run to the back tower as well to the 25G tower which is 170 feet away as well. Sure glad I did not have to dig them this time! HI....
Main runs to both towers are LDF5-50A!
I have a dedicated 6M run of LDF5-50A as well on 25G tower so I can monitor 6m with 2nd radio....
I am using LMR-900 to run to the 25G tower antenna switch.
Will keep you posted on progress and I will AB-SO-LUTE-LY post photos when I am done!
73 and God bless!
