To the right are a few examples of previous work that we have performed.
At the heart of every successful radio installation is the antenna support structure, because there is no substitute for a radio antenna that has sufficient height! That is why DX Engineering offers easy shopping of an extensive selection of towers, masts and accessories with super-low freight costs that lead the industry. The MARB Series rotor base allows the entire tower and antenna to be rotated from the base (rotor not included). This provides for easy rotor maintenance plus emergency hand rotation of the entire tower and antenna.
We have done work for contest stations such as N5AU and K5RX. We have done antenna systems and radio installs for the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA). Other notables for whom we have done work are Bell Helicopter, the University of Texas, the cities of Colleyville and Lucas, Texas.
We have done mobile installations that include full legal limit amplifiers, gas generators, and Omega-T Beam Steering Combiners for adjustable directional gain on 20 meters.
We have erected self supporting towers, crank-ups, Rohn 25, Rohn 45, and Rohn 55. We have climbed all sorts of towers from Rohn 25 to Rohn SSV. Some towers with bases large enough to put a house inside the base tower legs. We have worked on high rise roof tops in several cities.
We have assembled and erected just about every type of commercially available amateur HF yagi and quad antenna design as well as some strange home brew hardware. We have installed dozens of commercial VHF and UHF dipole array antennas for repeaters.
We have installed feed line in size from RG-58 to Heliax large enough to put your head inside to look for any cable losses.
We have designed and installed some of the most hard core lightning protection/ grounding systems around.
We have tracked down and worked with power utilities to find and resolve line nose and poor voltage problems.
We have re-written the book on mobile installations from new bonding techniques to mounting innovations for HF to WiFi.
We have designed and constructed shacks for contest stations to typical home shacks to mobile shacks.
We have designed and installed back up power systems that include single UPS systems as small as 200 watts to systems with multiple UPS units in a cascade with 80 KW generators in front of them.
We have designed and constructed RF screen rooms to safe rooms for severe weather situations.
We have designed and constructed sound proofed shacks to help save marriages.
We have designed and installed cavity filter arrays, both notch and band pass, for repeaters and HF isolation.
We have designed and constructed antenna test ranges for WiFi antenna testing.
We have designed and constructed 'grab and go' repeater systems for moments notice emergency response.
We always, always, always... think before we act.
This video presents how I installed my 40ft crank up tilting base station tower and Mosley TA-53M antenna. I am by no means an expert and may have missed a step or could have done some things better. I just tried to make a more complete tower install video to share my experience and or help other learn from my mistakes. Thanks to Neil W4NHL for the tower, antenna and rotor!
