I live in the city (Washington, DC) and have a 6 footer on my roof
supporting a Force 12 C3-SS quite easily. I can email you pictures, if
you like. It isn't guyed, and was relatively easy to put up (although my roof is steep and the the wx here is windy/cool or stifling hot!). Been up for almost 10 years. Foot-by-foot roof towers aren't cheap, but considering that I can't put up a tower, it's a great solution. There used to be lots of variations in roof towers -- although today you have but two choices here in the USA (Glen Martin Engineering and IIX). Mine is Japanese -- made by Alinco. I've had/used Create Design (Japanese) for work projects, and have another Japanese one in my garage. All are 9 foot or smaller "quadpods" that don't need guying. The one I have in the garage is amost 12 ft tall and looks like a quadpod with a tower section mounted on top. It needs to be guyed, but then again, it's very beefy. Email me if you have any questions or pictures. 73, Eric W3DQ Washington, DC At 11:46 PM 1/22/04 -0500, you wrote: Date: Thu, 22 Jan 2004 17:44:12 EST From: K7LXC@aol.com To: davarc@premier1.net, towertalk@contesting.com Subject: Re: [TowerTalk] ROOF MOUNT TOWERS Message-ID: <36.4fc91e01.2d41ac3c@aol.com> Content-Type: text/plain; charset="US-ASCII" MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Precedence: list Message: 2 _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more.
