My Rohn self supporting tower uses bolts for the base with nuts both below and above the first section footpads that allow alignment. I used a transit to plumb the tower and was very surprised to dis

In the climbing game, any harness older than 5 years old is automatically thrown away whether it has been used or not. This specifically applies to webbing but should convey the thought that there is

Over on the house side of this 15 foot separation, the station ground system and electrical ground will be tied together. At the corner of the house closest to the antenna SPG, I plan to extend/retra

A second thrust bearing normally allows a safe means to remove the rotator (lift the mast and secure using the two thrust bearings). That alone is more than enough justification for two thrust bearin

I went for horizontal polarization with the feed point at the apex at the top of the 80 foot tower. I used a quarter-wavelength RG-11 line as an impedance match for the 100 ohm antenna feed impedance

Bad assumption, the TB3s don't rust EXCEPT the set screw which holds the ball bearings. I have two on my tower, one is over 25 years old, I live next to the Gulf of Mexico (granted I do have some ext
