Having a hard time deciding on a proper tower for a Steppir DB36. The LM470
is with in the budget but I fear it may be just a bit light. Maybe, maybe
not but I would prefer to error on the side of caution especially given the
consequences.
Next up would be the HDX-572 and then the DX70. I KNOW the DX70 would have
no problems at all but its a bit out of my price range. The HDX-572 is at
the upper limit but if the LM470 wont work what choice do I have.
Due to local codes it needs to be a crank up and less then 75' to ease the
permit process. So given the choice is the HDX-572 a better choice for the
DB36 or am I over engineering this?
Just a bit more info, in the last 2 years I have not seen more then 50mph
winds but it could happen. Im at 3500' and see 1 to 2 feet of snow a year
so some light icing may occur but nothing severe. Other then a small
2m/70cm vertical at the top of the mast no other antennas. Im not opposed
to cranking the tower down if Im away from the house for a few days or if
the weather looks like its going to get severe.
