It's shown in the specs on the web site: http://www.spiderbeam.com/product_info.php?info=p7_Spiderbeam%2020-17-15-12- 10m%20HD.html Btw, it's 3.8 sq. ft. 73 ...
A big thank you to Rick (NJ0IP) and Con (DF4SA) of Spiderbeam, for their help getting my Spiderbeam back up in the air after I lost it in an ice storm this...
Hello I have a 15m aluminium mast and the sliding of a single joint has become rather difficult. I wonder what solutions others have found. I suspect that one...
The Spiderbeam yagi is normally constructed around a standpipe that is then put over the top of the supporting mast. I don't have the min/max sizes of the...
Yes, one of the tubes is bent. With telescoping aluminum, once a bent section is set, it is very difficult to get it straight again. It is best to just...
Hi Philip, Sorry I can't help with your question about bent tube. I'm interested to hear you have the 15M aluminum mast as I have the 10M mast with a 5 band HD...
Rob, someone has to say it : you are a total idiot. This is Spiderbeam usergroup. Tino, VK3EGN [Non-text portions of this message have been removed]...
I wouldn't be so crude, but i have to agree. This kind mails have nothing to do on this list ! 73, Patrick 2010/5/4 <spiderbeam@yahoogroups.com> ... -- Patrick...
Yes I have a 13 element 2M beam at 1 meter above the spiderbeam, this one was mounted after de spidercros was mounted. Works good but I see the SWR with some...
Dear all, as we still receive questions about how to set up the 26m pole, I would like to forward below email and photos by DG5DBL as an example. Michael's...
Hi I had (note the past tense ;o) an 18m Spiderbeam pole for an 80m vertical attached to house wall with bottom at 2m from ground, tip being at 20m height. It...
Hi Timo, this is what I have learned on this subject. Some of it must be wrong- as with all friendly advice. 1. Once guyed pole bends, guys will actualy help...
When I guy my 18m pole, I have inserted very strong Bungee cords in each guy line, just before it ties off to the tree or fence post. This helps compensate for...
Tino, Also you can guy with 2 mm monofilament fishing line at upper 3rd and 7th segment.And never attached any support to bottom segments.This is my solution. ...
Ozer, I agree hundred percent. Unles wind is significant, I do not use any guys for 18m pole. I use kites to lift antennas, and 18m pole supports coax and...
Tino, Rick & Ozer, thank you all for your guidance. I have ordered a 26m pole. (Spiderbeam people will also send me new sections to replace the three broken...
Hi Timo, new belts are fantastic concept. Contact area with pole surface is large. They are made of non-abrasive material. Belt shapes arround pole, does not...
Greetings all, This is the third Field Day (plus a CQP or two) I've spent working on this antenna and it's ALMOST ready ... So, despite all my careful handling...
Donald, I will answer the second part for now. I will have to study the manual to be able to answer the first bit (lengths of the wires). The beam is built...
Donald, Now to the wire lengths: Check page 14 in the manual. The table at the top of the page shows the lengths for the 20m and 10m Driven Elements. Pay close...
Correction for clarity. When you wrap the first 5 turns of electrical tape, they should be layered on top of each other. The idea is to build up a small...
... Thanks for the help! I needed to know the center insulator to knot distance because measuring from the non-center insulator end of the element would have...
Hi Donald, I would not worry if antenna is not perfectly simetrical. It makes no difference if dipole is 49% + 51% ( or even 45% + 55%). When triming dipole...
... The warnings to keep the element measurements to within 1 cm did their job. I was very paranoid about it. And trust me, my fingers don't do precision knots...
