Titan II Complex 373-4 Ham Radio Memorial Event 2017
This is the location of the first missile complex erected in Arkansas and is also the area where 53 men lost their lives during a tragic silo fire August 9th 1965. That tragedy resulted in the largest loss of life in the history of the Titan II program. The warhead that was located in this complex was later moved to Damascus Arkansas where it was involved in an explosion on September 19, 1980. Those two events are often confused even in the local area. The North Central Arkansas Amateur Radio Service arranged a memorial cleanup and an on air special event that took place on August the 5th 2017.

    For the reflector loop and director loops solder or braze the ends together and use slots at both ends. It will save you the weight of all the bolts nuts and washers for connecting the ends of the loops. Buy doing it this way you can form the loops on a work bench before inserting them in the end slots and adding the end caps.

    For the notch in the ends of the PVC, use a drill press drill a hole and at the bandsaw cut from the end of the pvc pipe into the drilled hole making a slot. This is faster and maybe cleaner that chipping away with a drill bit as if it were an endmill. Another method could be using a router table with the slowest speed setting and then just slot it.

      @2wrdr Рік тому

      @@henrycross8776 What confuses me is if either a horizontal or vertical wave striking the antenna conductors strike it would induce voltage into the coax since the driven element is neither vertical or horizontal. My little brain sees the conductor somewhat vertical and somewhat horizontal. Then again I can see if you placed the mast in a vertical position it would seem to be a compromised horizontal antenna. Jeez, antennas make a complex area of science on their own.
