[SCCC] [TowerTalk] Anyone know the CURRENT Los Angeles CountyZoning Rule...

[Marty Woll]

Good point, Kurt, and one worth pressing.  Not only can there a substantial difference in cost between a crank-up and a fixed tower, but a tower that must be lowered cannot accommodate semi-rigid transmission line (e.g., Andrew LDF series) often used for VHF and UHF operation.

Further, most telescoping towers were not designed to be run up and down regularly; doing so would cause premature wear on pulleys, cables, etc. and could actually increase risk of mechanical failure.  The telescoping feature is generally employed to facilitate installation of the tower itself and antenna installation, maintenance and adjustment.

  It also looks like US Towers and Tri-Ex may have had something to do with it.
  Rohn obviously wasn't invited to the ordinance writing party.
