Thanks to all for their help with tower advice. The Trylon seems like it =
will definitely do the job. I sent a catalog order to Champion Radio for =
more information.
But, isn't the Trylon somewhat overkill for a 18' boom 8 lb. windload =
antenna? I know better overkill than too little, but after seeing =
pictures of Trylons with 30' boom Force 12's with a VHF yagi or two (or =
three) on top, I'm wondering if I could still do well by going smaller.
Anyone have any experience with aluminum towers, such as Universal =
Mfg.'s?
Thanks again to all
