Hi Mike, I can certainly sympathize with your desire to know how to correctly design your tower installation so it won't fail. We had quite a thorough discussion here a couple of months ago where it

Jerry, howdy -- Yes -- the Rohn catalog(s) is the FIRST thing that I recommend that anyone contemplating any tower installation obtain. They produce 2 catalogs: one for Consumer Products (BX, 25G thr

I disagree with K7LXC's comment re: 40M element. I have used an A-4 with 40 M element since 1985. It's at 55 ft and it plays like gangbusters compared to a 40M dipole. The key is the rotatability and

A tower really does not need that much maintainence except, of course, to take it down every 2-3 years to grease the joints between the sections...

I'd say it depends a lot on how much you crank it up and down. Some people use motorized crankups so they can keep it down most of the time to avoid offending neighbors and protect it from the wind.
