Hi Bob,
Hey good for you!!! Yes it's fun getting a tower up
and operational.
You'll learn a tremendous amount of great advice from
this reflector. Allot of very knowledgeable guys here.
When I put up my two towers I did allot of research
and this reflector and its archives was the best
source.
So I'll invite you to check out this link to my
antenna page to see the techniques that I used in
constructing my system. There might just be a couple
that will inspire and help you with your projct.

Again I'll give a great amount of credit to the guys
here for helping me with my setup.
