Hello,
I would like a tower in my property but i can not buy a Rohn or any other
tower, so, I WILL BUILD ONE...or will try build one.
I have many galvanized tubes, 7 ft long, 1 1/32 inch diameter and 1/8 inch wall.
I have been reading dimensions of Rohn 25G and 45G...i like 25G.
My goals are:
-Reach about 50 ft high.
-Install a rotator.
-Install a lightweight tribander yagi (maybe an spiderbeam), a 6m yagi (5 elem)
and maybe 2 elem moxon for 40m...I know 50ft is not OK for a 40m antenna but my
anchor points are to close, so, i can not install a higher tower.
I have another important questions...it is about GUY LINES...what is the
cheapest guy line solution ???
if you have a lot of pipe/tubes, and enough ground space for the base,
why not make a lattice self supporting tower. Think farm windmill (or a
Rohn BX) or power distribution tower.
Big triangles, 3 or 4 sided.
