I am trying to find information on build your own tower. As retirement
nears I plan on having a lot more time for doing things like this and
will have a few acres I can devote to an antenna farm. I wouldnt mind
learning to design them from scratch but would prefer a computer
program if one is available. I know to some building your own tower
may not seem practical but my wife and I inherited a lot of the basic
materials when her father passed away. I am especialy interested in
building tubular foldover mast 50 to 70 ft tall. It seems like years
ago I came across a magazine article on this that also had associated
design software. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Your pic reminded me, somewhere in all the junk ther are 4 35 ft long
steel street lamp poles. I know I have made the place sound like a
junk yard but it isnt by a long way. Most of this stuff is inside a 30
x 60 ft building that you could drive a big motorhome into.
