Fear of climbing a crank up tower?  Lower it all the way down and then secure the nested tower so it can't go further down.  No guillotine effect to worry about.  Tashjian makes various crank-up/tilt

Other solutions would be a self supporting tower such as AN wireless if they still sell to hams or Trylon.  At under 50 ft it is easier to deal with especially if you could get a  man lift near it. I

Matthew knows whereof he speaks. I live in Santa Cruz county, and every local ham I've met has said to not go near the building dept. With your resources, I would do as much as I could with wires in

Hiya, Ken -     Sure, a crank-up would probably work. If you use 2x4's or some pipes thru the tower faces as safety rigging, it'd be safe enough that I'd climb it.     Yes, you get big venturi force

Ken, Yes, avoid the Planning Department for sure. I have lived in four different communities and put up a tower in each and never obtained a permit! Secondly, if I recall, someone on Tower Talk trimm

That may have been my neighbor, NI6T. When he heard I was considering it, he strongly advised me against it for one simple reason. Most guys who will climb your tower know what to do when they get up

Circa 1965, while living in Portland, I topped enough off a 110 ft Fir tree at the property side to install a HyGain Thunderbird tri-bander. Did the work myself when I was young. Used a prop pitch mo

Lol. I had an initiation experience to tree climbers and antennas. Went on an errand to get a part, leaving tree climbers on their own (big mistake). They were mounting a 17 VHF/UHF vertical, coax at
