Hello,

I would like a tower in my property but i can not buy a Rohn or any other tower, so, I WILL BUILD ONE...or will try build one.

I have many galvanized tubes, 7 ft long, 1 1/32 inch diameter and 1/8 inch wall.

I have been reading dimensions of Rohn 25G and 45G...i like 25G.

My goals are:  
-Reach about 50 ft high.
-Install a rotator.
-Install a lightweight tribander yagi (maybe an spiderbeam), a 6m yagi (5 elem) and maybe 2 elem moxon for 40m...I know 50ft is not OK for a 40m antenna but my anchor points are to close, so, i can not install a higher tower.

I have another important questions...it is about GUY LINES...what is the cheapest guy line solution ???

73....Douglas, CO8DM
