[TowerTalk] EZ-Way tower information

[Harry Brown]

I've got an EZ Way catalog CHB with no date on it but likely from the 60's.

It does not give many details but it says the RBS-50 will "support a 3
element triband antenna in winds up to 60 mph without guys. If a larger beam
is used, the tower should be guyed!"

In a table it says "it will support, without guys a 3 element mini or 4
element triband antenna in winds up to 60 mph or  a 3 element 20 meter full
beam or a 6 element triband antenna with a 50 mph wind"

That's not "technical " information but it's all I have.

Subject: [TowerTalk] EZ-Way tower information


About a year ago, I acquired a crank-up, tilt-over
tower.  Just recently found out what it is and got
a manual off "bama".

It's an EZ-Way RBS-50.  It's in good shape, but
when removing it, the "WonderPost" had to be
cut off, a foot below the surface.  I have welded
an extension to the post.

My question is:  What is the capacity of this
tower?
I would like to put a 2-element 40-meter yagi on
it.
Something like a Cushcraft, or HyGain.  Would
they exceed the load limits?

What is the capacity of this tower?

Thanks for any information!

73, Lance WN0L
