Hi Douglas, does your local telephone or electric power company use guy
wires on any of their poles or towers? If so, perhaps a friend in the
industry could help locate some salvage guy material.
Do you have cable tv at your location? If so, the tv cables might be
supported by suitable guy material. Again perhaps some salvage materials could
be found.
Your 1 1/32" inch tubes should be very useful in constructing a tower. You
will need to devise a way to connect sections together.

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 ???
73....Douglas, CO8DM
