Need a cost efective tower BADLY
I'm trying to do a point to point 802.11b connection to two friends
houses. This will be my 5th personal installation for wireless point to point. I have trees in the way on both sides, and need a cost effective way to get these antennas up 50 feet. Does anyone have any suggestions for accomplishing this? Thank You, Mike Sims |

I'd love to, but I need to keep my cost under $250, and I don't know where to buy them. I live in Hesperia, CA. If it's just *temporary*, you could obtain N ten foot TV sections from Home Depot/Lowes and just guy them for the test. They are about one inch in diameter and cost about $20 each. I use them for my bird house. -- 73, Cecil http://www.qsl.net/w5dxp -----= Posted via Newsfeeds.Com, Uncensored Usenet News =----- http://www.newsfeeds.com - The #1 Newsgroup Service in the World! -----== Over 100,000 Newsgroups - 19 Different Servers! =----- |

Home Depot: Chain link rails are 21 feet long, three with standard separator clamps will make a 63 foot length. Set four feet into a cement anchor, guy well! Works for me! Cost? about $150 plus guys! |

@aol.comnospam says... Mfj 50' telescoping mast $70 + guys and a sack of crete or two. KC*VIF Greg Z to thine own sound be true Where can I buy one of those? I started using 2.5" poles from a local pipe shop, and I have one mast that is 21', and another that is 8 feet with three feet down in the concrete. The problem is, I can't even add 10 feet to the mast because the joining point seemed too flexible when I was trying to insert it ... This 50' $70 solution sounds like the ticket to me. |
