eric, avery wright is still bouncing my reflector emails. would you please call him and straighten him out? he claims that it is an error, but he is doing it intentionally. i plan to deal with him when i see him again if he attends a board meeting or general meeting. regards, george bernard monday morning, july 27. ps: i think the original plan was to put a 6 meter beam on my portable tower and leave it on the roof . bob harrison made a nice base for it and we had cinder blocks on it to keep it from blowing away. my cell 818-370-9407 santa barbara, ca web page is www.balanceindustries.com for my company cell 818-370-9407 -----Original Message----- From: Eric Lemmon Sent: Sunday, July 26, 2009 11:05 AM To: sarcmembers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sarcmembers] 6m Antenna at SARC Clubhouse Avery, The Cushcraft R8 vertical antenna is designed to operate on 6 through 40 meters. Due to the tuning sharpness of such an antenna at 6m, it was optimized for 52.200 MHz per advice received from 6m buffs at the time of original assembly. I measured the minimum SWR of 1.8 at 52.200 MHz. The R8 antenna is not much good more than 300 kHz or so either side of the peak. Note that I have changed the subject line so that it correctly represents the topic of this message. 73, Eric Lemmon WB6FLY -----Original Message----- From: sarcmembers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:sarcmembers-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of Avery Wright KD4GBA Sent: Sunday, July 26, 2009 10:47 AM To: sarcmembers@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [sarcmembers] Re: Portable tower maintance...

Hello, This past Saturday, I lowered the portable tower to its horizontal positi= on. Please be aware of your surroundings when you are out at the club, t= he antenna elements are at eye level a could pose a hazard. The plan is to remove the warped horizontal 144MHz support masts and repl= ace them with some fiberglass tubes. These ultra-strong tubes have been = graciously provided by Bob, W6RFH.=20 Thank you Bob.
