I'm considering erecting 50-70 foot tower on the land behind my house. I presently have another located in the only clear spot that conforms to the town's zoning law regarding amateur towers. "The tower must fall completely within the owner's property." The location I'm considering is some distance from the house, and is deep in the woods. I plan to clear an appropriate radius about the tower to permit antenna rotation only. Given this situation, would a freestanding tower be preferred over guyed? And another question. The location would be about 300' off the road. and I would say absolutely inaccessible to a concrete delivery truck. Would you all say it's insanity to wheelbarrow the 3 or 4 yards of concrete for a free standing base? If I could get a loader back there with the materials, could 3 or 4 yards be mixed on site with a rented mixer?
tnx es 7 3, Tom Hybiske - K3GM
