Before everybody wants to jump on the bandwagon to put a cell site on their tower ( and get income for it), think about the consequences. If you already have a permit for your Ham Tower, it was proba

What the Inspector chooses to look at, and in what detail, is at HIS discretion. I suspect he drove by several times, perhaps looked in the hole for the base, perhaps looked at the rebar, and looked

Might I suggest, for those with big loads on the Rohn tower with holes pre drilled. Rather than put a bolt in the hole in the air. Before you install the tower, plug weld the holes. You can re galvan

If one leg is "rusted clear through" the whole tower is probably rotten with rust from the inside. I would have a crane remove the antennas if they are worth it, and the rotor, and junk the tower. Ne

Why would "110V on a tower" be a no no????? Wilson rotors have a 110V motor, all TelRex rotors have a 110V motor (likely more if overseas), I think the old EF Johnson rotor (1940-50 era) had a 110V m

Finally someone asked the right question. You keep the lightning outside the station. You don't go off the air. You don't hide under a tree. You don't play golf in a thunderstorm. But you have two ef
