Hi I have just received planning consent (in the UK) for 4 Towers, each with an effective height of 25 M. I plan on various Yagi's on each tower, and arrange them such that they form a square. As you

Yeah, insulated bushings, or some kind of insulated stud, whatever, anything like that which is strong enough to handle the tilt over forces will insulate the base of the tower. The worse part it wha

Any thoughts on insulating a tower? I have some Rohn 25 that I want to use to make a home brew version of a Hy-Gain Hy-Tower multi-band vertical. I am considering two approaches: 1. Buy a plastic cut

Maybe using a many layer sandwich of Lexan or of Teflon sheets between the base plate and foundation and large insulated washers might be cheaper but the capacity of that plate to ground and any volt

Hello Patrick: I would not suggest you do either of these choices. The Rohn 25 tower is heavy and the base insulator has to be able to support the tower and the aluminum stinger down force and wind l

Patrick I second Tim's advice. I built my own low band vertical using 23 ft of tower and stinger above it. But it is not the same as HyTower. HyTower also has an insulator at the top of the tower to

The issue with plastic cutting boards is that they are made from High Density Polyethylene (HDPE) HDPE will "cold flow" (technically called Creep), and is known for "Poor weathering resistance" You m

Patrick Caveat: Do this at your own risk. And by the way, I did not use a Rohn Tower. I used some other kind of tower that I managed to get free from another ham. This tower has a smaller diameter an

Patrick, Also, ignore the 40 meter stub on the PDF drawing. I shortened that to a 30 meter stub since I decided to use the entire antenna on 40 as a half wave antenna. Best Regards Dan Schaaf == K3ZX
