[TowerTalk] Rohn 45

[john at kk9a.com]

If you are investing in four 6m beams, maybe $500 each, a rotator $1k?.
plus an H frame, etc, skimping on the tower just to get them in the air
seems foolish. There are plenty of 30' towers that are rated for this
windload and they are not much more expensive than the proposed Rohn 45
sections.  Besides if it falls there is still risk to humans and animals
should they have the misfortune of being in the wrong spot at the wrong
time.

One thing to think about is whether you care if it falls down in an
extreme wind event. You might be willing to take the risk, in exchange for
getting your antennas on the air.


Sounds like an interesting project, especially if you're somewhat failure
tolerant.
