221. [TowerTalk] How long will a ROHN tower last? (score: 1)
Author: w7ni@teleport.com (Stan Griffiths)

ROHN. I have seen some at flea markets that are rusted. Is this normal for a ROHN? How long can one expect the galvanizing to last? few months and have already learned a lot. I bought some used 25G

Here's an old trick I learned from some power company pole setters in LA in the 1960s: Take a piece of string about 6 feet long and tie a weight to the bottom of it that weighs a few ounces. Just so

Ivo: I find it hard to believe that you have genuine Rohn tower there. I have never seen any Rohn tower that was not damaged where the holes would not line up much better than you describe. Several

This is an interesting observation. As a Rohn Dealer, I have noticed that those bolts do not seem to be the right type to "bite" into mast and still keep the threads in good shape. They are defineit

Hi Chris, Let me guess: he did not fully test it on the ground before installing it. I ALWAYS fully connect any rotator I have had apart to its control box and make sure it runs end to end without tr

Hi Rod, The only comment I would have is that the indentions you put in the mast are EXACTLY at the point of maximum stress and have weakened the mast considerably at that point. I have no idea how

Hi Steve, Yes, it will, but it has to go where there are no diagonals since it is a little larger than a Ham IV. As you have pointed out before, A Ham-M, II, III, IV will fit virtually anywhere in 2

As a Rohn dealer, I see quite a bit of new 45. Some of it arrives slightly bent. I can usually fix it pretty easy with a solid steel crow bar that is a nice fit into a leg. So one suggestion is to c

I tend to recommend what Rohn recommends. I do not see AX towers in the current catalog so I expect Rohn does not recommend them at all, at least for ham use. I know that won't stop you, so I would

I think the real answer is, of course, to stack them as far as possible for minimum interaction. It sounds like you have already determined what the mast will be so I would put one just above the to

There is more to anchor design than just using the same amount of concrete that Rohn does. The SHAPE of the concrete piece undergound has a LOT to do with how much it will hold. It isn't just the co
