- All, I have a couple full pieces and one cut piece of Rohn 25 that I'd like put up against the house with a couple VHF antennas on it. (2m-16el and 432-18el) I plan on using a house bracket at about

- Yes for all the work involved why scrimp on the base. It is false economy. You should go below the frost line too Make sure that the wall bracket is well secured. Just lagging into the outside wall d

- That does make sense about doing it right. You never know. The plan is to only put VHF on it. The HF beam will not be going on this one because I'm putting up a 70ft tower out in the back yard next y

- Remember the ROHN "dirt base". I'm planning on 50' of 25G, bracketed to the end of the shop at roughly 18'. There will be a Force 12 C19XR at 50' and a WARC-7 at 60'. I'm using a 6' long, dirt base c

- That's my point exactly. Whole project is to put up 30' of Rohn 25 bracketed to the (roof/ceiling joints) house at 20' level - that's it. My only plan was to put some little foundation to prevent it

- Don't forget to properly drain the legs of the base. Water trapped in the legs can cause premature failure due to rust and in the climate up here the water will freeze and split the legs. That was on
