If you engineered this tower for large loads you'd probably end up with 1/2"-5/8" guy wires. I have 190' of Rohn 80 (44" face) engineered for four cell carriers, (48) 1-5/8" feedlines, and stacked 40

On my home made swing-gate side mounts, I use a simple collar made of a short piece of steel pipe of slightly larger size ID than the mast OD. In spite of initial concerns of mast wear, it does not s

Jim, Noting that you're using gmail, I'll mention that unless gmail has changed since I last checked, they block your own posts from appearing in your inbox, claiming it's a *feature* to reduce clutt

The use of an email client does not solve the gmail problem though, which I know you know. In fact a properly threaded client like Thunderbird, when used with lists via gmail, is especially exasperat

It should be fairly trivial to make or modify a wall mount to accommodate a rotated tower. I don't like to see guys pulling in the wrong direction, though on a lightly loaded short tower you could ge

We use Polecrete often, when it's advantageous to do a dig and pole install on the same day. Amazing stuff. We've been setting 90' poles that way on a project where time is of the essence. In some ca

The strength of Philly is in the (very) small Kevlar core, not the outer jacket which is there to provide abrasion and UV protection for the core. Kevlar (and other similar and even stronger syntheti

Another issue with female N connectors is fragile center pin *fingers*. Maybe it's just MY pickle-head employees, but they manage to occasionally break them, usually up on a tower, and when it's a $4

You better get some proper on-site help on this. The sections can certainly be installed with a ginpole and maybe (or probably) temporary guys, but 800 lb 20' sections require someone with experience

It depends on which 7/8" Heliax you have. LDF5 requires an L5 connector, AVA5 requires either an A5 connector or AL5 connector. The suffix needs to have a D in it for DIN, and either an M or F depend
