If you have the room, go guyed. Cheaper, sturdier, etc. Yes, I would say it would be insanity to wheelbarrow, and also to mix onsite...... Find a way to get the truck in there! appropriate radius abo

Better bet would be to rent yourself a concrete buggy or sometimes called a Georgia buggy. It's a motorized job that you can drive back and forth and will hold about 1/3 - 1/2 yard of concrete. I did

See if anyone does augured in / screw in pilings in your area. Basically a pipe with one helix (or more) welded on the bottom. Install 3, and then mount your tower on that. Tops are generally joined/

Yep, trees do fall down - BUT - take a hint from commercial tower owners, and utility companies, keep the guy wire access cleared! _______________________________________________ See: http://www.msco

Tom, Looks like you've got LOT'S of hints on the concrete end of the project. Nothing on the trees though. When you trim the trees, don't stop at just the clearance for turning the antennas. Them pup

Don't forget to order extra concrete as the hose will still be full of it when you stop pumping. Also, when the pumper is cleaned out after the pump, that extra 'crete has to go somewhere--on the gro

Congrats on the SteppIR... Don't know how things are in your area as far as wind goes, but since you're going with a guyed tower, you should be sure no tree or substantial branch can fall on a guy. T

HI, Doug; Perhaps a freestanding tower will survive better among trees than a guyed tower. The trees will shelter it a bit from lower level wind, and trimming or removing only the trees that threaten

There has been a freestanding tower for sale on the QTH list for a few weeks. $1,000. as I recall and includes a heavy duty rotator. Massive thing! I think it is somewhere in Texas, already mounted
