(snip) Yep, that's the best I've found so far. Dwight, My first tower consisted of 3 sections of Rohn HBX. This gave me 24 feet. To the top of this I added a 10 foot piece of 2 inch OD Al pipe. This was fastened to the tower with angle iron and U bolts at the top plate and the rotor shelf. Somebody gave it to me. It actually started life as a Hygain vertical. The middle of the second section was fastened to the end of the garage with TV house brackets. The ground mount consisted of three pieces of pipe driven into the ground, with 1 bag of concrete to add some strength. BTW, have you considered a roof tower? Even a garage roof would give you at least 12 free feet. Tam/WB2TT |
