[K3CAL] Fwd: installing antennas at Prince Frederick Maryland tower

Fri Sep 4 08:49:38 EDT 2015

  Cara members
 I have the estimate to put two antennas up on the tower.
 If you are interested in this project . To proceed forward we will need help from our club members to pay for this installation. There is $1000 in the funds. We will need to raise the rest in about two weeks if we want to get it installed in a two-week period.

David,

I pretty much have the labor hours calculated but I’m concerned about the mounts you chose.  The mount you have looks like it only stands out about 20” and is designed to be used on a straight leg, the tower is a tapered tower so even if we figured out a way to mount that side mount the antenna would be pretty close to the tower leg.  We typically use a 3’ or a 6’ stand off mount kit designed to be used on a tapered tower, I have attached the spec sheets on this email.  

I would recommend getting a different mount, we can order them or you can.  So far, the labor I’ve calculated is $3,040.00.  I will give a more formal quote as soon as we make a decision on the mounts.

Thanks,

Which exact mount did you order?  On the cut sheet you sent it shows a couple different ones.  Would it be possible to take a picture of the hardware?  It may be possible that the tower attachment is already included.  

Thanks,

Vince

Hi Eric

Jeff asked me to send you this information on a bid for installing two antennas at the 170foot level.

On a state tower located in Prince Frederick Maryland at RT4 & 231.

We will be providing the cables connectors and hangers for this job.

I will need you to provide tower pipe clamps for our side mount kit to mount it on the tower leg see attachment above. The antennas will be at the 170 foot level another will be mounted below this one.

We will be mounting two antennas one DB224 And one DB416 each antenna is about 20 foot long. 

Please help us we are ham radio club not a big business. We also are a 501 C3 we have a Maryland tax exempt number as well.

If you have any questions please call 240-882-0484 or email d.weaver7 at comcast.net 

Thank you very much for your time
