I am still working on my plan to replace a 40' fixed aluminum tower with a
TX-455 crankup.
Two questions I would appreciate help with today:
1. U.S.Towers indicated that the contact between the sections is probably
not good enough
to use the tower as a vertical (or as part of a half-sloper). How do
people overcome this?
2. They recommend the coax stand-off arms for getting cables to the top. I
do not see these
stand-off arms in most photos of crankups. Does everyone use them? What
are other ways
of getting various cables to the top such that there is not a problem when
cranking down the
tower?
Regards,
Bill
