[TowerTalk] More crank-up questions

[Edward]

It's a good tower.  No limit switch.  Gravity not positive pull down. Cure for 30 days and don't ground your rebar. 

For antenna mounts fabricate a cross arm and mount above second section.  Works great.  

Good luck.  Great tower.  Have had mine for many years.
