I was teaching the basic amateur course earlier
today and one of the topics was selecting your first
tower - for those starting off in vhf. I said that
a tv tower is not enough tower for a ten or thirteen
element array and went on to say that a HAM-type
tower (Rohn or US Tower) is a must. Am I all wet or
is a tv tower inadequate even for a small antenna
like the Cushcraft Ringo Ranger series of antennae?
