What constitutes "active use"? Work a little DX each day. They can't
expect you to nest it each night when you go to bed.
Good luck and enjoy.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Any general thoughts on the care and feeding of
aTashjian LM-354HDSP
Greetings from a guy who is realizing a dream that has persisted since I was
a young'un. :)
Today, I just completed pouring a foundation for a Tashjian LM-354HD SP. In
a month or so, if all goes well, the tower and the tilt-over base will be
delivered and installed. My choice of antenna and rotator is still up in the
air (sorry, I just couldn't resist!). Are there any Towertalkians out there
that have any tips or other wisdom to share about these beasties.
It's located next to my garage, and about 7 of the 21.5 ft. (plus a 4 foot
mast) will be located above roofline. My city (Riverside, CA) saw fit to
grant a permit even though I live in a Neighborhood Conservation Area (more
than an ordinary residential district, but less that a full-on historical
district). One of the conditions I agreed to was that I would retract it
when not in active use. So besides upgrading to a more powerful motor wonder
if anyone has any experience with frequent extension and retraction.
Tashjian has supplied a manual, and I intend to follow its direction, but I
know there's a big pool of knowledge out here (been reading this group for
months now.amazing!) and thought I'd try casting a hook into that pool.
Thanks in advance. Nice to be here.
