I'm embarked on this summer's antenna project, which will involve
substituting a 16-20 foot 2" chrome-moly mast for my present 10-foot Rohn
galvanized steel one. I have been warned that bare chrome-moly will rust and make a mess. Would it make sense either to have it galvanized or paint it with a POR-15-type product before it goes up? The tower has a Rohn 25 pointy-top, so some degree of wear and tear on any coating seems inevitable, and maybe this is overkill. What do you think? 73, Pete N4ZR 2671 calls now in the World HF Contest Station Database at www.pvrc.org/wcsd/wcsdsearch.htm _______________________________________________ See: http://www.mscomputer.com for "Self Supporting Towers", "Wireless Weather Stations", and lot's more.
