[TowerTalk] tower resonances

[John King]

I have been reading, at first, then deleting subsequent posts, regarding tower resonances. I have a 130 foot plus grounded tower with guys broken up by insulators, with NO antennas on top. I WAS going to feed it on 160 meters, but have now decided to take it down and give it to a friend because after reading how complicated a tower can be, I think it is a job for an E. E. with specialty in towers, trees, air, clouds and dirt!!

My mere First Class Radiotelephone License, now a General Radiotelephone License, obviously doesn't qualify me to work with naked towers in Amateur Service. I am very disappointed that I will not be able to use my tower because of my ignorance and lack of experience after being licensed for over 50 years as an AMATEUR. Best Wishes to those who are competent to resonate a tower in amateur service. John, K5PGW
