[TowerTalk] Homebre Aluminum Tower...

[Douglas Ruz (CO8DM)]

Hello everybody !!!!,

I am still trying to build a tower...

I found many Aluminum tubes here...they are 6 ft long and 1 1/2 inch 
diameter with 0,08 inch wall...those tubes have been working in a heat 
exchange equipment but are like new...i dont know the type of Aluminum...

Is is possible build a Triangular tower adding "Z" braces joined with 
Rivets???...a guyed tower like Rohn 25G, etc...

I have been trying to build a tower (antenna) for low bands but maybe i can 
install a light weight tribander (spiderbeam) on top...not sure if that 
tower is strong enought for climbing.

I will apprecciate your comments.

Thanks,

73....Douglas, CO8DM
