Quit Smoking Joint Pain

Sorry for the delay ...

Hello,
sorry for the delay but I made so many new things .. and I could not find a moment to update my blog. So we go step by step

I did a little 'change in my Schack I bought a new Acom 1000 linear amplifier.
I must say I was impressed by the great reliability, ease of silent agreement in short, really a great machine.
In this regard I have created a dedicated page.
Acom 1000



I did a repair on my umpteenth Hy Gain 2 elements for 40 meters. The solution
'this time was the replacement of the radical created by the two insulators with good IV3TDM that holy patience has redone with 2 other new material is modified so that by not creating more water enters the short that causes the damage you can see in the picture.

Of seguto I'll read an email sent to my mother house HyGain.

Dear Sir,

The insulators are made of the same materials that Hygain has been using for years with no complaints. If you
have had this problem all this time, why have you not said something before now?

We would have replaced them free of charge as the antenna is in warranty for 2 years from the date of
purchase. The warranty does not cover "crane services". If you need another set of insulators, please let us
know.

Thanks,
Jim Shurden

Here's a picture of how they ruined the insulator material facts low .. is poorly designed because the cause is
infiltration of water that bring short circuit elements that are destroyed.
This antenna was purchased in July 2006, I already 'changed
Twice.
I replaced with insulators made with the inner wall dividing complete in order to insulate pipes avoid shorting.
Every time I had to use a crane truck from 30 meters to make repairs!

Who pays for these expenses?

As usual it is always the customer That We call ..

What is the guarantee for defects on this antenna!

I finally requested a new set of insulators under warranty but will not mount more to avoid the problems I had. Continue

my experiences with the microHAM microKEYER II USB

course I now much more experience with good results.
