I'm getting ready for the June VHF contest and plan to put 20' of Rohn 25G
and a Hazer at the peak of my roof for my 6 & 2M antennas (it will be
guyed). The tower is replacing a single top section of 25G that is there
now. I have two choices - add 10' to the bottom of my current top section
or just use two standard 10' sections. The latter choice works a little
better for mounting the Hazer pulley assembly and has the advantage of
letting me pull the Hazer a couple of feet higher. Both choices will work
though. Is there any reason for using a top section rather than an open
section of 25G at the top. The 25G top sections look like they might be a
little stronger since they have additional reinforcing at the top. Also, if
I do use a standard section at the top, should I plug the top end of the
legs to keep water out or leave them open?
Comments?
Thanks and 73,
Clay W7CE
