How UV resistant are the Rough Totes? A lot of the plastic containers get pretty brittle when out in the sun all the time. Sometimes, too, the $100 item will make the code inspector happy, if that's

Very nice work Tobias... ratio. Close in contacts (or two bounce contacts) will have a high elevation angle, so the relative phasing of the antennas is not as optimized as for a low angle propagation

Steppers (particularly surplus ones) also tend to require a fair amount of current (at least at the beginning of the step) at low voltages (designed to run off 5V power supplies, for instance), and,
That's what the bucket truck is for! The isotruss products are meant as replacements for steel or wood utility poles, not ham use, per se. Most utilities use trucks for doing any serious service work

You're probably getting hammered by "dimensional weight".. big, undense stuff gets socked heavily. Why not ship it by truck freight? Old Dominion (http://www.odtl.com/ I think) for instance does this

Comments on Jim's comments below 1) Indeed, this square design does have more material (potentially) than a triangular tower.. but, mass of material isn't everything (otherwise, we'd make towers out
I think you'd have a hard time getting usable power from this scheme. The precautions about grounding parallel fences etc are more aimed at transients (lightning and switching). Consider this: assume
