 If money is no object.

We looked at these a while back for building a short stby tower for an AM
station.

Has the Rohn which is probably a rebranded Austin.

Google "Base insulator for radio tower" and you will get a number of hits.

Keep an eye on ebay.  I occasionally see a complete AM tower or parts
listed.

I have been trying to find the manufacture of a leg insulator similar to
the WB0W units that were simply a ceramic mushroom HV power insulator with
a machined adapter to fit Rohn 25 or 45 slip legs.  A local airport NDB
that I installed has them but have never been able to find a supplier other
than the NDB manufacturer (who didn't make them).
