In searching around learning abt WINDLOAD, I have found two terms that seem to be the same: "Wind Load" "Wind Area" Are these one and the same? 73 fer nw es gud DX, QSL VIA: BUR, LotW, e-QSL Bob AD5V
Also for total WINDLOAD with multiple antennas, do I determine each individual antennas WINDLOAD and then simply add them all together to know if a structure will support them all based on its rated

Yes but we are thinking technically, factually, accurately. You see, the "truth" is, it is to *their* advantage *not to do well* on the math. All they need is the hype that is generated by stupid st

Thanks for the answers guys: Someone said the primer was the most important thing about the process. And I found an interesting posting while waiting on answers here: http://yarchive.net/electr/cold_
Is this to say I should not scotch brite the surface rust away? I received the tower sections today, or at least some of them and I agree with the individual who sold them to me, it is surface rust.
I tried a Ferrite not long ago and took it off. I had a relatively small donut piece of ferrite and placed it over the coax, I didn't wrap it or anything, just a quick test. Hoping to get rid of any

I have been watching this thread as much as possible since I just bought a Rohn Tower. And am looking at options for fitting it for further use. At this time at least I don't need a thrust bearing be
A friend of mine has recommended using "Rust-oleum" spray on Galvanize Compound for some small poles I have here to prevent rust. Does anyone have any experience good or bad with this brand or type o
I am planning a tower installation (40 feet Rohn 25) and am wondering how deep the hole should, how big in diameter and how many bags of ready mix cement I should buy to fill the hole. Also wondering

The more I read the more I am beginning to agree with Bill. I am not liking climbing this tower already and the tilt idea is sounding better and better with every fresh slant on the "Tower Accident"
How do you determine the wind speed spec of your new location. I also have just moved and would like to do the same before erecting a used tower I bought second hand it will be at forty feet here as
Hi guys: Well, finally got some time off this weekend and am wanting to work on my tower installation at least some while I can. Rohn 25G Inventory: Two regular sections 10' each section Rotor Plate
