261. [TowerTalk] Does Rohn Recommend This? (score: 1)
Author: w7ni@teleport.com (Stan Griffiths)
Date: Mon, 23 Jun 1997 00:52:55 -0700 (PDT)
There is hardly anything that Rohn recommends, but I would not let that stop you from implementing good ideas. Rohn is just very very careful about everything they say to attempt to limit their liab

W7NI's 2 cent prediction: It can't last. Some extreme environmentalist group against towers is bound to catch up with Alaska one of these days. Right now, they are too busy dealing with oil spills,

As someone said earlier, I don't think AEA made a TDR box. I think these two guys are talking about apples and oranges . . . Anyway, I have found through many years experience selling Tek TDR units

Hi Dick, I think the answer for you is to go back to your original "summary plan" of 25 words or less. If you delete the last three words ("not fall over"), then I think you have a workable plan. It

Wow! Yet ANOTHER new way to get maimed by a crankup. (I know what a Hazer is and it has a winch and a cable which makes it a LOT like a crankup.) Yes, I know you could leave an open knife on a guyed

Good idea. I would like some comments on the use of a propane torch to heat I have taken down lots of 25G but never needed a propane torch to do it. I don't recommend it. I can I have used a modifie

What's impossible is to get ANYTHING BUT plated U-bolts or tower leg bolts for 25 tower from Rohn. The plated U-bolts and tower leg bolts are standard Rohn issue for 25 tower. 45 tower is another st

In my humble opinion, I think you are doing things in the wrong order, sort of like "pilage, THEN burn". Find the QTH FIRST then search for the ideal wife to go with it . . . (ps: have the antennas

I suppose it could be argued that it depends somewhat upon the environment you live in. I have some 25G installed here that I first installed in New Hampshire in 1971. It was used then and I would g

Well now, since neither 45 or 55 use the swaged tower leg method of joining sections, you get a full ten feet of useful tower height out of each section. They are still built using standard 10 foot

Yes, it will. The actual amount of load the mast will take is a function of BOTH the yield strength of the material AND the cross-sectional dimesnions (OD and wall thickness) of the mast. The suppli

This makes some sense for 45G. With 25G, you would find a problem trying to mount the rotator plate anywhere except at the junction of the top section and the one below it. Stan w7ni@teleport.com --

Since the boom support wires are at right angles to the elements, I doubt they can affect the pattern very much, if at all. I wonder why we never hear anyone talking about using a fiberglass boom or

It matters whether you are buying 25JBKs or 45JBKs. The ones for 45G are galvanized. This has been the status on these bolts for at least the past 2 years. Seems it was the same back in the mid-70s
