[TowerTalk] LOG-PERIODIC RESULTS

[RCARIELLO]

Hello to all,
I am receiving many comments and questions about my decision that I am
replying to off the reflector.
This question I feel should be answered for all to see.

The antennas side mounted on my crank-up tower will be held in place with
Ring-Rotors. The locations on the tower is at the upper end of the selected
sections. There is a kit that is sold to mount the Ring-Rotors this way. It
allows the tower to be fully retracted. The Coax and control lines will run
together on the outside of the tower.
