This sounds more like it. As I had posted, Rohn had issues with holes lining up, crappy galvanizing, bent sections straight from the factory, long before they went into bankruptcy and were bought ou
I guess you could say I operate over 100 remote site antenna farms, and other than the occassional paintball attacks on my signs, or beer bottles, have had little of the problems like you talk about.
If you have the room, go guyed. Cheaper, sturdier, etc. Yes, I would say it would be insanity to wheelbarrow, and also to mix onsite...... Find a way to get the truck in there! appropriate radius abo
Yep, trees do fall down - BUT - take a hint from commercial tower owners, and utility companies, keep the guy wire access cleared! _______________________________________________ See: http://www.msco
Not sure from the description if it is a self supporter, nor if there is anything above the 72 foot level, but.... 72 feet high, 75 feet from the power lines. Figuring the arc of the fall, he is clos
Passive repeaters can be wonderful things. Often used in paging applications today, they extend coverage into hospitals, malls, etc. AT&T even used some on their long distance microwave system. No m
I don't know that I would call it "blame" on the sellers part. Guliblity perhaps, trying to be nice perhaps, but blame? The blame still rests squarely with the person who did the wrong thing. And I d

I almost hate to reply, because there will be so much said about this that I am sure some will think me totally wrong, but, let the flames begin. Weld up the split, checking the remaining legs carefu
It may be very telling to see WHY they no longer use that wire. You may try Del City Wire, or Santa Fe Distributing. www.s-f-d.com/ www.delcity.net/ _______________________________________________ S

Dave, I think you misunderstand our concerns. Most capstans used for tower work either have a mounting plate for mounting it on the base of the tower, or a reciever hitch plate that mounts it on a ve
And with the exception of HAM use, it is pretty much useless. No carrier would go onto it as a rental tower. _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self S
pi R squared? No, pi R round, Cornbread is square..... I just measure one of the loops, fudge just a bit, and times it times the number of loops on the spool. Gets me close everytime. -- Original Mes
