Why not just get a cat or maybe D-con? Dave / NØATH Well, I hope the mothballs work. In the spring I had nests in several outside locations. Some were inside electrical control circuitry for o
Wouldn't it be a lot cheaper and stronger to just add another section of tower and only extend out 5 foot of mast? I have worked in a metal shop many years of my life, been a ham for 25+, and have ne
Scott - You will probably get several replies on this one - In my opinion you shouldn't have any problem doing this if your mounting bolts are into some real wood framing and not just into a thin fac

FWIW I am not an engineer nor even a TOWER TECH but I might toss in a tidbit. Round pipe filled with concrete does add more bending resistance - but it will snap like a pretzel when the concrete gets
Hello John - I have just recently ran into an identical problem as you are describing. It was on a tailtwister but that should make no difference. On it I replaced the zener diode in the meter. I rea
I am not an engineer nor even close - I have had a Rohn 25 up for 25 + years with 3" pipe 3' in the ground with cement and a 3/8ths inch cable back guyed about 24 inches behind the elevated anchor to
Standard 1 1/4" pipe will measure approx. 1 5/8" OD so I am wondering which you have? Most of bearings ( although I despise them ) will clamp the OD of 1 1/4 pipe. Dave / NØATH Well, I would n
Correct me if need be - I think the Rohn 20 is also painted - not Galvanized - NØATH / Dave == Rohn 20G and 25G are practically identical with Z-bracing. The only difference is that 25 has 8 h
Hello Hardy - I am like you , when things are broke, if you can, fix em! I just had to comment that many years ago - We use to build sticks ( Booms ) for draglines in the coal mining industry - The c
