[TowerTalk] Crank up Towers

[Sheridon Street]

Hello,

Subject: Crank up Towers

My name is Don, current call HS0/G3VFU ex A92BE and A45XU.  I have just 
retired to Chiang Mai in Northern Thailand. I am sure that the subject of 
home made towers, is old hat, and discussed many times before, but need I 
need construction plans (blue prints) of an 80 to 100 foot high crank up, 
tilt over, self supporting tower.

I plan to put on top a two element 40-meter Cushcraft 40-2CD antenna and 
three element Cushcraft tribander A4S, possible hang a couple of dipoles for 
80-meter and 160-meters.

Raw material of all kinds and welding facilities are abundant in this area. 
It's simply not economical to have a tower imported due to shipping and 
customs duty costs. The nearest seaport is Bangkok 900 Klm South of here 
imagine the expense of transporting.

I have in the long distant past tried to purchase plans from tower 
manufactures but was refused on grounds that I would go into business.  Does 
anyone know where I can obtain a set of detailed professional or amateur 
construction plans?

73's
