[TowerTalk] SELF-SUPPORTING TOWER NEEDED IN THE MIDWEST

[Paul Christensen]

Same here in my county with a 140 ft self-supporting Pirod tower.  The tower
is in a rural area on the FL/GA state line.  The county inspector measured
the distance from the nearest corner of the tower to the property line.

During the build, inspectors took a critical look at the excavated base and
compared placement of rebar and orientation against the PE-stamped Pirod
design.  The inspector didn't see my Ufer ground on the design and withheld
approval until I could establish that it didn't affect the structural
integrity in any way.  The tower base is approximately 10' x 10' x 8 ' deep.
A second Pirod self-supporting tower is 100 ft and 180 ft away from the
larger tower and has a slightly smaller base.  

Two sources of used self-supporting towers:

San Mateo County made that a requirement of my permit!

How many ham tower installations are falling distance plus away from the
property line?  Many commercial towers are not either.

And does he have a fall radius of more than 200'?  The neighbors might
otherwise get nervous!
