Their design charts, their design drawings.
This is very interesting.
I am planning a 4x4x4 concrete pad with three sections
of Rohn 25 in it.
Two sections (A & B) will be offset in height from the
other one (C) so as to overlap the joints for strength.
A B
______ _____
\ //--\\ /
\--//____\\--/
C
Tower C will be approx. 50 feet, A & B approx. 30 feet.
I am estimating that I can go another 10 feet above C
and put a standard HF tri-band beam, and a VHF-UHF
log-periodic up there.
I may side-mount a couple of antennas on A & B.
A & B, in additional to providing structural strength,
will provide strength when I fold over C using Hinged
Base Plate BPH25G (not sure how to snuggle A & B up
to C with the plate in the way) or the two 7" swivel
sections I have that I do not see in the catalog (the
bottom half is a pair of 3.25L x 1.25W x 3/16" Thick
steel with 1/2" holes for a bolt-axle, the top halves
are 5" of tubular tower leg sections, 1.4" of the wide
tower section welded between the steel bolt-axle legs
and 3.75" of the narrow connecting tower legs above
that & drilled for the normal pair of bolts).
If I haven't drawn the most confusing word-picture
ever perhaps someone know the part number for these?
Anyhow, these past will probably work better in my
scheme but I will need something either embedded in
the concrete pad or perhaps use holes in a short
section to run the bolt-axles through.
I have not yet figured out the winch & pulley
arrangement.
