I am in the process of putting up a tower and I have some concerns that I hope the group can help me with. The tower is currently 55' of Rohn 45. 5 straight sections and 1 top section. The bottom sec

Dave: Doing some quick calculations based on 9.7 sf of antenna lumped at 60 feet and 45g tower section with 55-15=40 foot of cantilever and 110mph design wind. This generates over 50,000 lb-ft of mom

Hank, I am not quite following your calculation of 50,000 lb-ft of moment. Perhaps you can explain. What I come up with is .00256 x 110 MPH squared x 1.2 (round members) x 9.7 SF x (60'-15') (above b

The bracket is over designed as much as I could. Where it attaches to the house it is 5' long and it has three bolts that go through vertical 2x4. I have this backed up with a horizontal 2x4. All of

Dave: My anaylsis basis comes from the 1997 UBC Building Code Wind Design criteria. For a design wind of 110mph 9.7 sf of antenna at 60 feet has a wind load of 408 pounds. The cantilever moment due t

If the tower is only going to be 10' from the property line, then the turning radius of the HF yagi will produce an "aerial trespass." I would make sure that the affected neighbor is OK with this. I

Hank, Thanks for all your help on my tower. I really appreciate it as I am trying to do this right. In my area amateurs are exempt from the tower ordinance thanks to the efforts of the local hams and

Okay, there you go. I don't see why you have ANY questions because what you're proposing is off the chart and not viable. Violation of the LXC Prime Directive (DO what the manufacturer says) will hav

I've been following the thread and I'm not confused. Everyone has stated their opinions and readers can interpret them. I don't know why someone would say that it should cease ASAP. Most threads die

The important question is -- what sort of forces will be present at the bracket? Is your bracket mounting (or for that matter, your structure) strong enough to hold at the predicted forces? It could

I don't think that's right. The figures I've seen are 30-50%. The problem is that wind pressures do not go up linearly - the pressures go up geometrically. You run out of engineering overhead real qu

Actually the tower has already been designed. What the Professional Engineer does is to design the base, rebar cage and guy anchors for local conditions. He runs calcs on the tower structure to see w

Seems to me that the gist of all this is that those of us who live in Florida or on the Gulf coast can't have an antenna larger than a rubber duckie on top of any reasonably tall tower. I see all the

Actually we don't have any advertisers, regular or otherwise. Business owners who are TowerTalk subscribers are encouraged to post product and service related info of interest to the rest of us. DUH!

When major portions of the country is in other than 70 MPH wind zones, it would make sense to do at least sample calculations for 80 and 100 MPH (or 110 MPH) wind zones. Manufacturers of guyed and f

Some manufacturers have more information available than others. Someone has to pay for those calcs to be done - in the instances you cited the factory paid for them. I guess the tower manufacturer yo

Hi I somewhat agree but why don't they publish the specs for those of us who live in 90mph wind zones? Mark -- en24gp 6m through 1296, BBQ rules, icq 41823284 -- FAQ on WWW: http://www.contesting.com
