Hello – have TOWER Thoughts.

Anyone familiar with Phillystran Guy Lines? Seems like it would be a lot easier to work with.

Take Back Your Power is an independent Canadian documentary directed by Josh del Sol that was released in 2013.  The film explores the health, legal, and economic ramifications of wireless utility “smart” meters.  Most people do not know about the risks associated with the radiation emitting from wireless utility meters that are already installed on many of our homes.  Nor do they understand that utility companies are pushing for 100% wireless utility metering, even though people across the country are reporting that the radiation from these meters is making them sick.  If you or someone you love is suffering from health problems, please watch this movie.

 

This documentary features narration from the mayor of Peterborough, Ontario (Daryl Bennett), as well as American researcher De-Kun Li, U.S. journalist Blake Levitt, and Dr. Sam Milham.   The film won a Leo Award for best feature-length documentary, as well as the Annual Humanitarian Award from Indie Fest the following year.

 

Take Back Your Power can be viewed for FREE until midnight tonight.  Take this opportunity to educate yourself about how your health, safety, and privacy are being impacted by wireless utility meters and the radiation they emit, as well as the accompanying infrastructure.  I firmly believe this is the most important film you will ever watch.  Please make the time to watch it, and forward this link to everyone you know.  And please make a call or send an email to your state representative and state senator, asking for a ban on ALL wireless utility meters.  We have a right to protect our health, safety, and privacy in our own homes.

Just wanted to let you know I had some work tree done in my yard by Silver Leaf Forestry (401-529-8558) of Peace Dale RI .  For a small fee they installed a pulley way high in a tree for a future low band dipole.  There we reasonable, quick & clean – You should keep them in mind if you have any future tree work and/or a potential dipole or two.

Hello,

 

New Guy Question:  I have dug up my backyard and installed 1.5″ conduit from my basement to my storage shed where the grounding rod & surge protector connecting to a wire antenna will live.  I installed the conduit thinking of expansion for other cables, control wires, etc.  Or at least that what I tell myself…

 

Anyway, this is approximately a 100′ run of coax.  I was thinking of buying a DXE-400MAX pre-made cable from DX Engineering.  Yet I walked away from the September meeting thinking the people in the club preferred 213U coax.  And do people buy pre-made cable of terminate them themselves?

 

The New Guy just looking for knowledge.  This is my FIRST coax so I’d like to buy the best stuff.  The costs between the 400 & 213 are about zero.  Is one more flexible than the other – there are a few 90 degree conduit turns.  I figure I’d use 8X from the surge protector to the wire antenna.

 

Thanks,  Mike
