Don't know where you are (sorry, didn't look you up in 3 land) but most towers are constrained by wind load requirements. The Florida Building Code References EIA RS-222 Version G as the reference st
Tough call. The swaged trap shown looks more like a vintage Cushcraft. The center feed section on Moseley uses a tube aluminum match point. Photos of that would help. Mickey N4MB Mickey Baker, N4MB P
The KW Matchbox that I have is a simple device with a single inductor with 8 taps that all connect back to a 2 gang band switch. I cant speak to any mods made. W0QE has a comprehensive video: https:/
I've ordered a lot of different stuff from Chris KF7P and have never been disappointed. If he says that rope fits the bill, it will. You might want 5/8" double braided polyester if your grip is bad,

HI, Dave, How about THAT for customer service! Post on TowerTalk about DXE products and the DXE CEO pops up and gets you help! Mickey Baker, N4MB Palm Beach Gardens, FL *The servant-leader is servant
Any of these towers will require 70+ sq yds of concrete. Huge project, over $100k installed, depending on local concrete cost. If your friend is open minded regarding spending on this, he might look
There are a lot of variables in tower design. Iterative stress analysis is done to predict where stresses are high. I am not a structural engineer, but I worked on stress structural analysis software
