I attached the last 6 sections this weekend, 4 sections yesterday and two
today. I checked/snugged all the bolts one more time just to make sure,
then.....I threw the switch and watched. It went up without a hitch. It
made a little different noise as it went through about 45 degrees, but it
didn't seem to change the movement.
I fastened a piece of square aluminum tubing with an eyebolt near the top
and ran a rope through it. After the tower was all the way up, I moved my
OCF to there.
I've still got he rotor, cables and antennas to mount, but it's nice cause
I can mount all that on the ground and then raise it back up.
The rotor plate doesn't want to fit where I think it should, so I'll
contact Heights tomorrow for advice. No big thing, I know it will
eventually mount.
It's a Heights Tower Systems 76' Aluminum tower, that, according to
specifications is supposed to be able to lift 330 pounds mounted at the end.
Here's a link with the pictures from beginning to end.
