The method I gravitated to after many years (and installs) normally involves no tillers or brackets, which I find a bit cumbersome to get out of the way once the antenna arrives at the tower. I use f

Look at it this way: the deflection reading on the Loos gauge due to stiffness is a constant, totally independent of tension. With no tension, 100% of the deflection is due to stiffness. As the tensi

Of course that's often not possible. We (my crew and I) regularly work on commercial towers that are only 30'-40' feet from 13KV. If the structure is safe and you know what you're doing, the danger i

Depends on the situation - as has been pointed out, a short tower out on the back 40 doesn't cry out for quite the same engineering as one next to the house for example. My favorite is the guy who in

Current Hill Radio pricing (usually the lowest) is $735 for R65G 10' section, and $1034 for R65G 20' section. As a sanity check, they list R55G at $259. The 20' sections are a much better value, but
