I'm about ready to start a tower project and need some advice.
I have a 60 foot Jontz tower in good condition. I plan to put the first 5
feet into the hole with gravel at the bottom so it will drain.
1. Do I need a rebar cage in the concrete around the portion of the tower
set in concrete?
2. When taking the tower down I broke many of the bolts holding it
together. They are unique and unavailable. What grade/type of bolts do I
want to use to replace them?
I am not sure how much of this tower I am putting up and may stop as low as
35 feet. The tower will be supporting my satellite antennas (2mtr yagi, 70
cm yagi, L band helix, S band BBQ grill dish). The height will depend on
how much of the sky can be seen over the nearby trees. I will not be
climbing this tower as it will be placed by a crane and the antennas put on
with a bucket truck.
Thanks and 73,
Joe kk0sd
