[TowerTalk] Tower Base

[Dino Darling]

The MW-50 is one of my favorites! This is NOT a free standing tower! It
was designed to be bolted to the side of the house and had a simple tilt
over plate with a simple piece of rod in the end. DO NOT try to modify
this tower to be free standing! The other towers from this line are the
MW-33 (4-section at 12') and the MW-65 (4-sections at 22'). I believe
they also had an MW-20something too.

What's real nice about this tower is that it has W bracing throughout!
It made it a bit heavier, but a little bit more robust! The MW-33 on
Tashjian's site is NOT the original MW series tower.

Its too bad you are in 5-land or I would love to get this from you!

Hello people:
 My name is Jerry and I am new to ham radio as you can see by my call
sign at the bottom of this post. I was given a 50 foot crank up tower
recently but have no specs on it. It is a Tri-Ex model MW-50. It need
some work on the rust so I need to know what is good to clean that of
before I put Cold Gal on it? I also need the specs for the base. How
long do the J-Bolts need to be and what kind of rebar base do I need. It
will be anchored to the hose as well as the base mount. Any help you all
can provide will be greatly appreciated.
