[TowerTalk] First Tower

[Wayne Kline]

IT all depends on what tower your talking about... I have installed  antennas via tram or pull & snake  above a set of guys. But were talking about  Rohn 55 or Rohn 65 or AB-105...  My Rohn 25G towers the top set of guys are down 4 ft  on the flat  plate top  design tops. and IMHO  there is no problem     Tramming a large  30 plus ft boom
HF antenna  even with  a back stay and the guys @ the joint..... Could create some pucker in the seat of your pants !  can you do it  SURE but would it be a comfortable on Rohn 25G   ??? a then there are variables Sold concrete base ? Peir pin base at 80 ,80 or 100 ft ???  or 40ft tower with the guys @ 80%  or 32 ' No problem 
 
YMMV    Wayne W3EA    . .
