Hi all I am getting set to put a new antenna on my Rohn tower. I was thinking about making some changes to the guy wires before I install the antenna. I would like to know what, if any, would make mu

My Phillystran runs from the top down to 10 feet above the ground. You do not want to run it so near the ground that a grass or brush fire underneath it will melt it. Your can connect it to your ste

Vandalism is the other reason to have Phillystran out of reach. Ten feet off the ground sounds okay. Cheers, Steve K7LXC -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com/towertalkfaq.html Submissions: towert

Tower type? Antenna load? Windspeed zone? Doesn't sound like you'll be doing anything too aggressive so sounds reasonable. I wouldn't. I think that Phillystran won't be a big improvement over what yo

My question relates to how widely I can space guy wires on a Rohn 45 tower. I would like to go beyond the approximately 0.8 ratio suggested by Rohn to accommodate the turning radius of a beam that wi

Hi Tower Talkians, I've never owned a guyed tower, so I don't know much about tower guying, however I'm curious about something. On a commercial tower near my home, I've noticed the rings at differen

The bracket is the same bracket that *should* be used to attach the normal guys. With my 45G the only difference is the hardware that goes into the ends of the brackets. At each tower leg there is a

Star guying substantially reduces the twist on a tower. Torque arms are much less effective. According to K7LXC : When Rohn implemented one of the early EIA/TIA-222 tower standards, they found that t

Some tower twist is good, you don't necessarily want it totally rigid. During big wind gusts, it reduces shock loads on the rotator gear train, and tendency for boom-to-mast clamp to slip on the mast
