Need advice on putting up my first tower...have a large back yard and am
anticipating a building permit for a 50-55' tower. My question
is...crank-up or free standing. My wife absolutely refuses to have guys in
the yard, and with kids I agree. Several people have suggested a Trylon
free standing tower (wow, they're large). Would like to pour less concrete
and go with a crank-up, but am concerned about safety and difficulty in
installation..I'll have it professionally installed.
Plan to go with either a Force 12 C3 or C4, Cushcraft X7 or X9, or a 3-4
element quad. Any input would be appreciated. Would love a big tower, but
hate the idea of lots of trucks in my back yard.
