I have e-mailed them for a pictorial of one of their products (I am ordering a HDX555). I have noticed in their website an absence of this type of documentation. I only found info on the concrete bas
Texas Towers just called and my quote for the HDX555 and all the accessories was ready. While I was there, one of the guys behind the counter got out their US Towers catalog and printed off the page
I checked my e-mail before heading off to bed and I was pleasantly surprised to have a very thorough set of drawings for the description of the HDX555 that I am ordering tomorrow from Texas Towers. I
Last week, I received the HDX555 crankup tower base from UST. I took a couple of pics if anyone is interested. Just a big, heavy (69 lbs.) Tee base and some rather large 22 inch long bolts with equal
We have had clear and no rain weather here in North Texas for more than a month. So far, I have been fortunate to be able to dig the hole, order the rebar and get it bent, get hole with rebar cage in
The Bobcat is over at my older sons house who is using it this evening. I will get it back tonight for tomorrow. We'll put the forks on and be ready for the shipper tomorrow at 8 AM. Weather still ho
Well, I couldn't wait. The HDX555 arrived here on a mogo sized flatbed semi-trailer at 10 AM this morning. We had it off the trailer in a few minutes. No problem using the BobCat with forks. We laid
Last month, my son dug a specified 5 X 5 X 7 ft. hole for my HDX555. It ended up being more like 6 X 6 X 8, but a bigger hole is never worse in this case. It only hurts you in the pocket book (I had
In October, I put up a UST HDX555, 55 ft. crank up. It called for a 5 X 5 X 7 ft hole, but we ended up been slightly larger (5 X 6 X 8). We ordered 10 yards ($85 a yard) of 3000 psi concrete, as the
I have a HDX555 and am wanting to mount 3 vertical antennas above my CL-33. I would mount a Comet 3 band antenna (long and skinny co-linear) centered on top of the steel mast above the CL-33 and to e
Joe, where did you order your Fulton K2550 from and is it a K2550 0101 or K2550 0301 model? I have a K1051/KX1051 on my HCX555 and am considering a different winch for raising to make it easier. The
I have been reading the aluminum tower threads recently and thought I would add some data on the aluminum tower I had a number of years ago, maybe before some of you were born!. Anyway, in the early
Well, not sure what you mean by "regular" tower inspections. Once a month seems a little extreme to me, unless you live in a extreme environment near the coast and where there are constant high winds
Now that I have a new crank up tower less than 3 months old, what do you all recommend I inspect regularly, besides the cable/pulley integrity, winch operation and overall structure? What should I lo
I have searched the archives and found only the mention of the plug (maybe AMP/TYCO), but no actual part number. I am going to call Yaesu Monday, but does anyone have the P/N of the mating (plug) con
Many thanks guys! (KW7R, N1HWC and pfds531 in VE2-land) With all of this help, I'll have no problem getting them on order tomorrow. 73, Roger W5RD Murphy, Texas ______________________________________
