I was looking at the engineering drawing for Rohn 25G yesterday, and was surprised to see that the total length of a section is 10' 0". This *includes* the 3.5" that is inserted into the next section
Been that way for years, Rohn 20 is the same. Rohn 45 and 55 is longer and gives you a true 10 ft. On the other hand the DX station will never be able to tell the difference between a 66 footer and a
I think this calls for a class action lawsuit! LOL! Chris KF7P Apparently I am supposed to be more concerned about the way Mitt Romney spends his money than how Obama spends mine. ___________________
Trylon does the same thing. The sections overlap about 5 inches. They give you a mast that bolts inside to give the true height of the tower. The T-600 is made up of 8 - 8 ft sections so the actual h
The top flat sections are only 8 ft tall if my memory serves me. So you might be down to 95 ft HI! Mike W0MU W0MU-1 CC Cluster w0mu.net _______________________________________________ _______________
So all this time, we've been building as tall as local law will allow, and we're shorting ourselves? The inches...the precious inches! Mike N1TA The top flat sections are only 8 ft tall if my memory
You think that's bad.. got to your lumber yard and measure a 2x4 or a 2x6., then see what you are paying for! John KO4XJ I was looking at the engineering drawing for Rohn 25G yesterday, and was surpr
My bathroom scale says I am 215 lbs and my doctor's scale says I am 219 lbs. What shall I do. Neither scale tells me what I want to see. Best Regards Dan Schaaf == K3ZXL www.k3zxl.com 60 Meters www.6
Coincidentally a few weeks ago I measured some "8 foot" Heights sections. As with Rohn, they basically have a "gross" height of 8 feet, but actually that even varied slightly from section to section.
The real bummer about this false advertising is that it can cause at least a .02 dB loss in signal strength at HF, unless that extra 3 ft. would get you over the top of that metallic shield around yo
Not in any context that's relative to performance. HFTA says that for a 3 element yagi on either 40m or 20m over level ground that the difference in forward gain between 100 feet and 97 feet is 0.2 d
But an 8 footer will be 96.5 inches long!!! Dick NY1Ewww,ny1e.com You think that's bad.. got to your lumber yard and measure a 2x4 or a 2x6., then see what you are paying for! John KO4XJ ____________
Guys, Spare a thought for those of us outside the US that have no access to Rohn products. Most of us have crank-ups. That 6-section 120ft tower I just took delivery of? It's 96ft to the top at full
You mean, we shouldn't order tower sections "planed all round"? Here in the Land of Mixed Units, our house is built in feet-and-inches on the ground floor, but from the staircase on up it's all metri
