Looks like I may be getting a Skyneedle TMHD370. Its no taller than my current HG70HD, but I certainly can put
more antenna on the Skyneedle.
I really over did the concrete when doing the Hygain tower. The hole was about 7x5x5. This is more than
enough for the Skyneedle. What I am considering is drilling down into the concrete about 2ft and inserting
threaded 1 1/2" rod and industrial epoxy to secure them. Then with a crane, lift the tower and set it on the
bolts and secure them down.
The alternative is a new hole, buy the base from Tash towers (no price yet -- waiting) and install as per the
manual with the hinge mechanism and plate that comes attached to the rebar cage.
Tnx!
