What:
Joseph Harrington
President of Harrington Aerial
A Novel Way to Patch Leaking Transmission line, Rigid and Heliax
Holes in air transmission line either from wear through or arcing can cause rather frustrating problems.
Lines may be expensive to replace, have extremely long lead times, or be of a specific configuration that is difficult to replicate. While not a perfect solution, we have found success developing an experimental method for coax repair using copper patches, and a specialized epoxy. We like to say it is only a temporary solution, but all patches have held to date in the year plus we have been performing them. The presentation will cover some of the repairs we have done in the past, as well as a hand-on example.
Additionally, Joe will be giving a slideshow of some of his favorite tower maintenance observations and photos over his 42 years in the tower and broadcast industry.
