[TowerTalk] HDBX Tower

[Gene Smar]

Kelley:

     Check out Trylon Titan series of towers.  They are an affordable, 
medium-duty design that come in many different ratings.  Champion Radio 
sells them.  http://www.championradio.com/ .  In 2001 I bought and installed 
a Titan T-500-64 and am very satisfied with it.

> Hi all,

> I currently have a Rohn HDBX 48' tower. While the tower has a pretty
> good wind load rating, 18 sq ft at 3' above the tower, Rohn limits the
> boom length to 10'.
>
> I would like to put up a 2 element 40m beam as well as a 3 or 4 element
> 10/15/20 meter beam with a VHF/UHF vertical on top. Wind load wise this
> may not exceed the load rating of the HDBX, but I'm pretty sure it
> wouldn't be recommended as boom lengths are a lot more than 10'.
>
> Is there a tower available that has the same base measurements as a HDBX
> that could handle such a configuration? With all the concrete in the
> ground, I'd like to use it.
>
> The county limits me to 1 tower up to 50' in height, so I can't put in a
> second one.
>
> Thanks for any help and/or suggestions.
