Subject: [KCDXC] DB-33 ANTENNA MADE BY WILSON ELECTRONICS EONS AGO
Message-ID: <D31847E9.76476%gbconsulting54@gmail.com>

Anybody have any information that could help me find some specs (primarily
wind load) for my old DB-33 (3 El on 15 M & 3 El on 10M on common boom)?

I found the Wilson CB firm but they no longer have any records from the
original mfgr.

I can calculate wind load but I also wanted a data sheet so I can provide it
with my application for a tower.

Otherwise I'd scrap it and install something that would cover 5 or more bands. Maybe a log periodic?
Another couple years and you'll be lucky to hear much of anything above 17meters. SFI is below 90 much of the time already. Last sun cycle dip it hung around 67 and bands above 17m were dead!?

Message-ID: <63B97D069B744AE6A43B58ED143B9971@w520>

I have an old JT-30 mic from an elmer and want to see if I can get that mic working.  Need to find a single pin type of cable (I think they called it a 75-series connector) which was common back in the day.  If you have a cable or connector/cable with that on the end, I would make you a deal for it.

Thanks!

I don't need the band but listened most all last night on 40m ?RTTY and no print.?
Have you all noticed the beam heading changes from east coast to west coast?
In the past this one has been worked LP, SW, N east. It's a yagi twister.
While on the?Braveheart I worked LP 40& 30m our mornings.
