As a new member to the group I am looking for some advice, looks like a
move is in the workings and I have received approval from the
Architectural board at the new QTH to place a crank up tower on the back
of my new property, nested at about 22ft and rising to about 55ft when
in use. I will need, due to age, a till over for work on a beam.
I will be installing either a SteppIR 3-el (42# and 6.1sq ft wind load)
or a Sommer XP-506 (71# and 11sq ft wind load) on the top. I have looked
at the MA-550 and TX-455 line of towers but I would appreciate any
suggestions or recommendations you might provide.
May try to support a center feed zepp for 80-40-30 from the tower but
the 1.5 acres has lots of trees, the builder will be clearing an area
for the tower in the back section of trees, that’s an additional
question on how much should I clear, I am lucky that I got the approval
and thus I want to keep things out of sight as much as I can. Ideas please
