Hi guys, I'm in the process of relocating my 35' freestanding Rohn 25G tower after 8.5 years on the air. I figured this time I'll bracket it to the house, which is what I should have done in the firs

The 2x2x4 chunk of concrete is called ballast. Similar to the keel of a sailboat...helps to keep it upright. _______________________________________________ __________________________________________

Imagine this. If the house bracket is perfect and has an infinite holding power, and the tower is perfect, and infinitely strong, then if there is a sideways force at the top of the tower (from the w

As far as I can see the base does not act like a keel which is dynamic. That base is a dead weight. That chunk of concrete normally only does two things. It keeps the tower from sinking into the grou

My opinion, and that's all it is, is that Rohn's specs are CYA in this case. A lot will depend on what the house brackets are attached to. Fascia and siding doesn't give much support. With 2 brackets

Dave, unless you are attaching the tower to an unoccupied building one suggestion would be to use some from of sound insulation between the tower and the house brackets or between the brackets and th

Lawyers may be one reason, but there is also the matter of WIND, and of the additional weight (and personal risk) for a person climbing the tower. These are REAL and important considerations. Yes, wi

I would never climb 50 ft of unguyed 25. No thanks! Just because it stayed up 10 years does not mean it was safe. Mike W0MU W0MU-1 CC Cluster w0mu.net _______________________________________________

Smart move, Mike. Sometimes we forget that the climber may weigh in at four times the weight of the antenna. A tower that can comfortably support a 50lb beam may not do well with a 250lb top load. __

With all the climbing I've done over the years, I'd not go up a 40 footer that was self supporting. After all it's only rated for about 1.5 sq ft of antenna and it does not feel sturdy. 73 Roger (K8R
