Hello all, I just joined the reflector and noticed a thread on clearing
trees around towers. That was the reason I joined, to ask what the
consensus was on this issue. I just purchased an acre of land w/o antenna
restrictions which backs up to my 2 acre lot which my house sits on that has
a lot of antenna restrictions (as in no antennas). I'm planning on putting
up a 75 - 100' tower with 2 ele 40 and probably a C3, then maybe a second C3
side mounted towards EU. Anyways, the 1 acre is densely wooded with oaks up
to about 80 ft tall. I did a quick tower site this weekend and found I
would have to clear a lot of trees to get a 30' radius around the tower.
This is still well within the 80' guywire radius. I missed all but he last
of the thread and sorry to rehash but I'm very interested in your thoughts.
Thanks and 73, Jack W4NF ex. WB4NFS
