[TowerTalk] Tower bracketing

[Gene Smar]

Al:

     I've recommended this QST Article several times to Hams who were
contemplating a bracketed tower aside their houses: article by K1KP and N1CQ
in August 1996 QST titled, "Install a House-Bracketed Tower - the Right
Way."  It describes in pretty good detail the inside the home/attic mounting
requirements for connecting a tower bracket to the home's interior
structure.

     Good luck with your project.

Subject: [TowerTalk] Tower bracketing

Until I can purchase the parcel of property next door, I'm limited in
setbacks and height to a 35' bracketed tower that will hold an M2 5el 6m
Yagi and a cheap Hy Gain 2m Yagi for 6m VHF contests and local repeater
access.

I decided on an Ameriite (American Tower) 30' 25 series bracketed to the
house in one location. AFAIK this tower is essentially a knockoff of Rohn
25G.

I can't find either on the American Tower site nor Rohn's site the details
of the proper house structure required for attaching the bracket. Contacting
the manufacturer got me the foundation pland but not the bracket. I'm going
to have to cut through drywall for either the outside wall or access to the
attic and I'd like to know what prep I'll have to do before I undertake
erection. Of the tower.
