I know that this is a 50 mhz group, but I have a tower question... we all
have towers. I recently lost one in an ice storm... too big of an antenna on a
poorly guyed lightweight tower. I want to put up ONE more tower in my life, and
not worry about it.
I would like to put on that tower, a rotor, a 5 el M2 6M beam, a 13 el 2M
beam, and a 19 el 432 beam.
I am thinking of Rohn 45,,, 70 feet. I had previously used mainly Rohn 25,
with good results. (The one that fell over was not a Rohn 25, my Rohn 25
stayed up)I can guy this new tower in three places, top middle, lower.
Why would a person go to Rohn 45 over Rohn 25? Is it worth the expense with
the relatively small arrays I am putting up? Sure would be easier to climb.
Suggestions?
