Hello Rich-
I just finished a crank up 72’ US Tower install this Spring.
I have had no interference at my shack which is about 25-30’ from the tower.
I learned quite a few lessons from this install. Some of the forum helped me in
this endeavor so I decided to chronicle the whole episode in case others needed
help, too.
Feel free to follow the monthly column in our club’s newsletter at:

The fun begins with the June 2017 issue.
73,
Dick
