I tried sending this once, but I don't believe it took--
I'm putting up a 75' telescoping US Tower. I would like some advice, since
this is my first
endeavor into towers. Here is the plan for my situation:
___________________________
Plan: _______| <--40'------------------>|
A | A |
| | | Shack |________
Front | | House on | |
of | 20' Third | |
House | | Floor |Deck |
|______ | Here | |
{ }|________V_________________| |

|__________________|
{ } is the proposed location for the antenna. The base will be at the level of
the basement
floor. The shack is in the attic, 3 floors above the basement. I'll be
putting a 5' cube of
concrete as a base.
What should I do about radials, ground wire, etc. Right now, the ground wire
is a (very)long run
of 12-2 down and around the deck to a single ground rod. The deck is the roof
for a
basement-level bedroom and bathroom. The I am restricted regarding radials,
etc., because the
area behind the antenna and the house is an asphalt-paved driveway.
Suggestions are appreciated.
Thanks
John
