Looking at the guying sheets for Rohn 45, 70 mph wind, and 70' tower, I think I see the load capability is about 15 sq ft for "round member" antennas. That seems like a pretty low capability, though
I am on track to take delivery of a Monster SteppIR in mid-September and am at crunch time as to which tower to put up to support it. The Monster has a wind cross section of about 25 sq ft. The tower
I am still trying to decide if I can build a case sufficient for an engineer to sign off guyed Rohn 45 of 70 ft carrying a Yagi of 25 sq ft cross section in an area with a 70 mph wind requirement, no
I use ceiling panel hanging wire from Home Depot to pin down radials. I don't use the preformed hangers as they are too expensive. I buy the bundles of the steel wires which are about 5' long, pull o
I won't go into the lengthy details, but I need a guying diagram for a 70' Rohn 55 tower. The local TIA wind requirement is 70 mph, and the wind load of the antenna I am putting on it is 24.5 sq feet
Where can I find a map or listing of TIA Wind Zones? Bob W2WG _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations",

Lew I have used that method and it works well--except when I am in grass and have to lay the line on the grass. Invariably it grabs a stalk on the way up and ruins the shot. On cement, dirt, etc I do

I am looking for a Bendix (CMS) 310C-6P 6 Pin Connector for a Transco RF transfer relay. Can anyone point me to a source? This is a round female connector. Bob W2WG __________________________________
I see MFJ is selling Franklin 2 wavelength collinear wire antennas. Has anyone had experience with this type of antenna? Bob W2WG Alan, The double bazooka (as conventionally described) is a waste of
SSB Electronics has a connector of this type. They suggest its use with the low loss VHF/UHF cables they supply. The diameter of the "barrel" of the connector is larger than that of a standard 259, b
I have a question more or less related to this thread. I have a MonstIR which is about to go up on 70' of Rohn 55. The system has been designed by a couple of real pros and I have had a PE look over
Having left my EZ Hang at the beach (put wires in palm trees) early summer, I just built a replacement. I used the cheapest WalMart slingshot, drilled out the rivets, put small angle iron on the fron
