I love it, making what the manufacture could not make properly.

Nice video. I fixed one a while ago where the bottom half of the antenna was full of water. The motor was rusted past repairing it so I bought a similar replacement motor on eBay and swapped it out. I then soaked all the rusted parts in vinegar overnight and turned out great. The rest of the antenna just got a good cleaning since it was still in pretty good shape half way up. It works like a champ now.

You remind me of Mr. Pete! Or Keith Rucker! Before you got there, I was thinking to myself he needs to bore that out and put in a bronze bushing and thread it. That's exactly what you did. And I learned that just from watching RU-vid videos. I am not a machinist but I love watching machinist videos.

I watch both of those guys, along with Abom, Blondihacks, This Old Tony and a few more. I could have made a new piece but thought it be simpler to repair that one.

"Fix it up, wear it out, make it do, or do without" I sure appreciate your skill set, Buddy! The "Dyno Cams" sticker on your toolbox reminded me of my Karting days 😊 We're kinda cut from the same stock...

@TheRadioShop 6 дней назад

Oh yeah, built many kart engines in the past. I was a certified WKA tech guy at the local track for 7 years. Also ran stock. super stock and limited.

Nicely done buddy! You are the antenna man, nice repair!

Excellent, Buddy. Nice repair job. I had a Webster Band Spanner on the truck for a while. I thought the Tarheel was basically a copy of the old Band Spanner until I watched your video. Thanks for sharing it with us. 73 de K7RMJ Frank

Thanks Frank, The Tarheel is a different design. Very simple made.

Thank God all my antennae are all fixed length. I know of several guys who run those Tarheel antennae. Now that's a great fix for that known problem with the Tarheel. That should be a permanent fix. Only mobile I talk is 2 meter with a small dual band, mag mount on the SUV with a Yaesu hand held & 20 watt amp. Cheers & 73 from K9POW in eastern TN

Thanks my friend. If I ever find me a small HF rig I may go back to some mobile work. But it may be useless to do since my longest trips mobile is only 15 minutes at a time these days.

Uggg, those antennas. It's always corrosion that kills them. May you and your family have a happy and safe 4th of July. p.s. A very high Q on that antenna. 😳

@TheRadioShop 6 дней назад

Thanks My B, I agree. Have a great 4th my friend,

Brass is a perfect choice.

@TheRadioShop 6 дней назад

I think it will last longer than what was originally used. Thanks

Nice repair and overview Buddy handy if you can't have an antenna farm in the yard. Always a pleasure to see my Grail rig in use also (Kenwood TS-2000) one of these days , but my TS-520s will have to suffice for now.

Nice video Buddy, I always wanted one of those but the cost wow Great mobile antenna if you have room to mount it. Local ham here has one on his car roof with a magnetic mount that has 3 magnets. Just hope he doesn't drive with it on.

@TheRadioShop 6 дней назад

Very expensive for sure. I seen those mag mounts. May be ok for the smaller versions but this one is quite large.
