It is and it isn't? If you were 100-150 meters away it would be hilarious. When transformers blow up,they really blow up.

There's a little problem with rifled slugs from a smooth-bored shotgun? 60-70 meters is about as far away as you can shoot one w/ any accuracy? That part I knew,so I took the ...

A big explosion and a life long ringing in your ears.

When I was kid we used to take potshots at all kinds of things. If I was a 12 year old these days there wouldn't be a safe cellphone tower in the region?

BTW,never shoot a transformer on a power pole with a rifled slug from a shotgun. Trust me.

The copper strips are good idea Marko. Most Hobby Shops here in the States sell the stuff in small rolls.

The guy who shot that antenna was either lucky or the great-great Grandson of Daniel Boone?

I like it. It's much easier to navigate.

One suggestion,see if your webmaster can add an "edit" feature for users? When you make as many mistakes as I do,it would be nice to have the option to correct posts once I make them? Thanks!

He was an odd one.

I took a better look at the pics,that stock looks a little heavier than I thought? Be certain of the type of metal it is and take to your local welder/bodyshop. They'll do essentially what I posted above,but they've got a proper tube bender to be able to do the job right? It should be fairly cheap ...

Sheesh! They couldn't have done much worse,could they?

If you want to try a semi-DIY solution,I'd cut the damaged section out w/ a tube cutter. Then I'd get a piece of aluminum tubing w/ a slighly larger inside diameter than the ring stock. Slide the new tubing over the old and take it down to the ...

Is it a metal antenna? There is a new product out called Alumalloy that looks like a welders rod but will melt under propane torch temps? I've got a friend who sculpts using various metals who loves the stuff for occasions when he doesn't have access to his welding equipment.

I don't know where he ...

You ought to give shortwave a hard look from that location? You could literally hit the entire Atlantic basin w/ 100 watts and a decent antenna? All of your signal would be going off shore,the local radio authorities wouldn't care or bother with it? I would kill to be located where you're at ...

Run a clean signal. Causing interference will generally get you busted quicker than anything else.

Vary your broadcasting schedule and transmit from multiple sites. It's tough to df a station that is mobile and flexible.
If you tx at the same time for "x" amount ot time from the same place,and ...

Google ARRL,it's a ham radio association in the states. Their site will tell you all you want to know about building antennas and provide links to sites that will give you more info than you'll ever need.

BTW,if you're familiar w/ the antiquated measuring system we use in the US,here is the basic ...

It's not a bad idea,but how are you going to get there in time to stop someone from taking it? You'd have to be very close and if that's the case you're essentially w/ the transmitter,so how is it "remote"?

I've learned a little trick from hunting in tree stands. Very few people look up when ...

Long time no talk Marko. I'm glad to see the AM transmitter has taken off. Who'd have believed it when we we're talking about it 5 years ago? Aren't you glad I pestered you into building the things? ;)

I lost the password for the plain "Pigmeat" handle & the email addy I used then is long expired ...
