Default AD5TH Tower Project Completed - Pics Online

how many sins can i count...
1. guyed to trees
2. guyed to power pole
3. saddled lots of dead horses
4. two different tower types mixed
5. doesn't look like a proper base... at least not to rohn specs.
6. that mast sure does look too long above the kind of tiny tube top.
7. no thrust bearing
8. too close to power line? probably since its guyed to a power pole.


9. no thimbles on the guy wire connections. Wonder how long before those
10. judging by how the loop of guy wire through the turnbuckle is still
fairly round, I'd bet the tension on the guy wires is too slack. Should
have 400 lbs per guy for 3/16" EHS on Rohn 25.
11. no safety wire through the turnbuckles.

At least the loading (antennas) are pretty light.
