Ralph, was the 21 foot tube you used steel or alloy?


I don't know what kind of pipe it is. I went to a place that sells metal
and told them I wanted some galvinised pipe. One piece 1 1/2 inch trade
size about 20 feet long and also to support the tower I got 3 pieces that
are about 3 or 4 inches in diameter and 9 feet long. Those were for the guy
wires. I put around 4 feet of the pipes in the ground and filled them with
cement. Hopefully that will keep them from bending over. The tower is
guyed around 30 feet and again near the top. It is also in a yard of
cement. More or less to Rhon's specs for a 25G tower. I bought the tower
sections used. Think it was the least expensive part of the whole thing..

Here are a few pix of the tower.
