I wish to build an 80 meter vertical using some Rohn 20G sections I have in storage. In the past there was some mention of insulating material that could be used at the base. If possible, I would lik
Quite a while back, there was a Tower Talk "Compendium" of articles that appeared in TT over the years. It was over 100 pages and contained a wealth of information. Is that document still available?

I had a Wilson System 40 (SY-40) beam up for 8 years on 5 sections of 20G and 2 sections of 25G with no problems. The SY-40 was a 10-el tribander (4-20, 4-15, 5-10) with a 24 foot boom, if I remember

I have a crank-up tower with a beam on my property and plan to put up either separate 80 and 160 meter verticals or a combination 80/160 vertical. What distance should I use as a minimum separation b
Anyone familiar with Rohn SSV towers? I may have a chance to buy a 100 foot tower for $1000 at auction. Is it a good deal? Are they easily usable or modifiable for ham use? Will it support a 2 or 3 e
