[TowerTalk] About to pull the trigger

[Rudy Bakalov]

All,
   
  After many long months of thinking, reading, and exchanging countless emails with other hams, I am about to pull the trigger and order tons of gear. Literally.  Naturally, I am a bit nervous, so I final sanity check with the reflector makes sense.  So, here we go, shoot holes in my plan or give it the nod:
   
  1. AN Wireless tower, 90', heavy duty, rated at 36 sq.ft
  2. M2 40M4LLDD at 90'
  3. 2 x KT36XA at 100' and 60'
  4. Prosistel PST61D + Green Heron to rotate the 40m beam and the upper tribander
  5. K0XG ring rotator + Green Heron for the lower tribander
  6. W3NQN bandpass filters sandwitched between 2 SO2R switches to provide SO2R filetring
  7. BIP/BOP stack controller for the KT36XA tribanders
  8. SO2R switch for all antennas
  9. On 80m, Comtek dipole 4sqr as in http://www.comteksystems.com/4square6.html
  10. On 160m, shunt feed the 90' tower
  11. RX antennas- 2 two-way beverages
   
  The overall objective is to build a decent single-tower SO2R station in VE3, about 100 miles north of Toronto.  Due to frequent freezing rain showers + gusty winds, I am very concerned aboout physical strength of the set-up.
   
  So, go or no go?
