To: <towertalk@contesting.com> I don't mean to be picky, and maybe it's because I'm a big fan of HyGain antennas, but, while "trial and error" is a somewhat accurate representation of the "cut and t

Rick, back in the 70s, when I got re-involved with radio and was putting a station together, I just couldn't seem to scrape together the $25 per section for Rohn 25 to put up 30 feet of tower on my

Editted somewhat: The way you have that worded is a little confusing, but essentially, he is correct. Do a plot of vectors of force (simple Pythagorean theorem stuff) and you will see that to have th

Yes, but you're tensioning at 10% of 6700# strength. That's three guys at 670# each (2010# total) load. Should be plenty of safety factor there. The next size certainly won't hurt, but tension on th

In my haste to provide worldly insights, and erudite observations, I neglected to consider and communicate that my answer (the 10% stuff) was a "no-wind" static circumstance. As wind forces develop,

I think the Rohn bolt kits are the best way to go. They are relatively inexpensive, (certainly less so than SS) and the "right" ones. The bolt sizes are 5/16" and 1/4" x 1 1/2 (I think; the 5/16 and

Glenn, I respectfully disagree on the heft of the plates. Although I couldn't find specs for the thickness in the Rohn manual, I did go out and look at mine, and they are at least 3/16". I don't mean

Good point Glenn. I modified a Rohn ASx5 rotor plate on my installation to carry a hardwood block for an intermediate plate. The key to homebrewing is your "carefully centered" phrase. I have a frie
