- Hi all, I have decided to add guy lines to my free standing tower. I have 2 good points to tie to but the 3rd I need to make. It will need to be some sort of ground anchor, and looking for pointers.

- My first thought is "What kind of big vertical?" It appears you're using a standard bell housing rotator including the lower bracket/mast clamp. Is that correct? If so, that won't withstand much mast

- The problem with adding guy wires to a crank up tower is that it applies a downward force on the tower and the winch and cable may not be able to handle these forces. Maybe you can find another spot

- I would hope the rotator is down int he tower where it belongs. If so the top of the tower sleeve/thrust bearing takes the side load. 73 Roger (K8RI) _______________________________________________ _

- If one is carful steel bars can be inserted into a crank up so that the weight is no longer on the wire rope. Then the tower can be stayed. Of course one can always stay the lowest section of a crank

- There's no place to do this with a tubular tower, as shown in the photograph...and there's no way to mount a rotator inside the tower, either. Unless I've looked at completely the wrong photograph, t

- Take a closer look: It looks like there is a cage built around the rotator with (presumably) a thrust bearing at the top. I've seen this in other tube tower installations. Chris KF7P photograph...and

- He can place a thrust bearing just below KT-34 and run the guys from there if he wanted to do so. I'd use philistran, not steel. You have a nice set-up now. Steel guy wires might effect the yagi's pe

- Hi Guys, a few have asked about the rotator and how it is mounted. It is mounted inside a cage that has a top bearing. I have added a photo of the type of cage used you can see it here: http://www.g0

- Having looked at the photos; It's a nicely designed cage. I couldn't see how the rotator mounts other than a plate in the cage. Two things to remember here is how the cage and rotator attach. The Rot
