It more than likely has to do with things not related to antennas or even towers at all. It's far less expensive to use standard stock lengths of material. IOW tube, angle, and flat stock, comes in 2

The 'new' spec for anchor rods is called ASTM- F1554. They come in 36/55/105 ksi. The original spec for my HDX-689 used A36 anchor bolts [1.25" x 36" long x 36 ksi] The 689 never used 1.25" anchor bo

For various reasons (some inherent in bearing manufacturing tolerances) three spaced bearings are almost never done in machinery - it's just too hard to get them/keep them aligned. Two bearings can h

The TB-3 (and TB-4) are both aluminum races with steel ball bearings. It is very common for older TB's to have the rumbling you describe since in wind gusts, the steel bearings can get pounded into t

I use Moly grease on all of mine, no problems yet. Every bearing needs lubrication, even old windmills from 100 years ago have oilers, and windmills only turn at about 75 rpm. Where I live dust and d

I believe the answer is simple. It has to be cheap (not expensive) for the ham market. A quality product can be made but those that would spend the extra cash are too few thus making the product even
