[TowerTalk] Pushup pole sources

[Kuhns, Arthur, SSgt, 146CF, SCM]

Durwydd,  That tower system seems so simple.  Would you have to guy that or
is it sturdy enough to be self supporting.

Jack,
   I used two 21 foot chain link fence rails, bolted with 1/4" lag bolts to 
8 foot landscape timbers sunk at least 3 feet into the ground. I ran a 
bakstay of dacron cord from near the top of each. Cheap, effective and 
rugged. Rather than pulleys at the tops of the fence rails, I used staniless

eyebolts with the loop closures facing up to avoid snagging the rather thin 
dacoron hayards suspending the antena. cost? about $26 each.

  "Communications" is a People skill, the rest is technology.
