On taller towers (500' or more) we often see rustier hardware near the top then near the bottom. I always assumed that the air was more corrosive up there on average. Well I guess that must be a give

In the long run, something like a camera pointed up at the antenna and some software to recognize the instantaneous position of the antenna which then controls the rotator might be the way to go. Th

Sure everyone knows how to glue pipe together, and for short straight runs it's easily doable, leaving aside the issue of sealing the ends. But in longer runs with multiple bends one usually, after l

Remember, 20G is only rated for 2 sq ft of wind load...IE a TV antenna. They, like many ham installations with other towers have supported much more than their ratings, but you are far past the rati

Here's the thing (well in my mind anyway). Just because Rohn's *vision* for 20G may have been 30', a house bracket and TV antenna, and for 25G it was guyed applications up to 190', doesn't mean that

What part? Are you shipping it to your residence? Assuming that this is Fed-Ex freight, it is much less expensive to ship to a business or pick it up at the terminal than to ship to your residence.
