How about going back a ways from the tower, hang a weighted string and check the tower aginst the string? Gene / W2LU _______________________________________________ _________________________________
Given the "wind problem", how would it work to check the string with a levelor catch a time with no wind, and stake the bottom of the sting or hold it in place with a weight on the ground.The object
Or, if you really don't mind climbing the tower, just leave the bottom of the string free and refer to the comments on using a string. _______________________________________________ ________________
Clearly, each leg same angle AND same length. Gene / W2LU _______________________________________________ _______________________________________________ TowerTalk mailing list TowerTalk@contesting.c
Not so clearly, if the tower is going up one leg at a time, not one section at a time, the leg lengths can be adjusted anywhere along the way assuming you want the top (bearing mounting plate) to be
I can't resist chipping in with my experience at the other end of the "protection" spectrum. I put up a 100 foot commercial tower (200 lb 20 foot sections) about 40 years ago. Guyed with heavy duty p

I may be missing something here, but when I make an element, if the clamp doesn't quite firm up the joint I just get the hack saw out and cut another slot, 90 degrees around the circumfrence from the
In the "for what it's worth" columb. - I once heard that since precise simultaneous closing and opening of the two contacts cannot be guaranteed when just paralleling two circuits, the instantaneous
Not quite on the voltage, I think. Whether open or closed wouldn't the first in the series have full voltage to ground or to the coil ? Onl;y if they were indeed mechanically and electrically daisy c
I have used two methods each of which have lasted at least ten years for me - - wrap thoroughly with 3M self sealing tape - stuff connector with silicon grease leaving no room for condensation/water,

I have sent a full page copy of the Rohn "25G SECTION ASSEMBLY" drawing . It shows in my "SENT" file as having gone out at 1:20 PM but appears to be taking some time to get delivered. - Gene / W3LU _

Perhaps it's just an "old wive's tale" but I think I once was taught (EM Wave Theory 401) that the F-layer, combined with earth reflections, tended to turn all signals into near horizaontal polarizat
