Which luck antenna gets to live on your tower?op:
The moonraker 4...it will prolly go up this week....weather permitting.
If your interested in selling the PDL, I would like to make it into a PDL3!
Good luck, post pics of your progress!
The pdl-2 and a few other things are going to the tower man who is putting up my tower and beam...in payment for his services....hate to see em go.
Well....it has a flat swr on vertical and horizontal......it was assembled by a old CBer who went by Turkey...the guy was a perfectionist and somewhat of a legend for putting up beams around here....the guy I bought them off had them sitting in his pole barn assembled except for the elements.....he told me not to change anything...just slide the elements in to the sharpie mark and clamp em down....he was right...flat match......guys 20 miles away are saying they have a room full of me...guys that are closer say I am rattling their speakers....and that is with a barefoot radio...its a skip talkers dream....especially the flat side....its broad banded and the swr will stay flat if you go above or below.
One more thing.....the guy I got them off bought them nib.....he was building a new home at the time and only had them up for a short time then took them down when they moved...he sat them in a brand new pole barn and there they sat until I bought them.....the beams look like they are new....I got lucky...I was gonna buy a moonraker 4 that had been up on a tower since the 70s.
You don't need hardly any cement with a guyed tower. Even just a couple cubic FEET is enough to serve as a base and keep the tower from shifting sideways at the bottom.
Do NOT ever try that technique with a freestanding tower. Well that is unless you dig the hole deep enough you can't see out of it and wide enough that you can lay down in it.

Yeah.....the cement is 3x3x4.....the guy rope is 1/2 dacron double braid with 10'800 lb rating.....you could pull your car with it.
