Jim, the man with the big big gun station. Nice!!! And the total cost of the project, including site prep, tower, crane, rigging and other necessary equipment and coaxes just $1500. That figure comes from asking the spouse. Just so everyone is on the same page....

That was great. All the preparation, testing the antennas before hand, appears to have paid off. The installation of the tower and then the antennas looked like they all went together very smoothly without an major problems. 73, Jon Pearl - W4ABC

Why not put the bolts in from the top?

@devherrick5775 Год назад

So that it is easier to tell if something is off in the structure, missing or loose nut etc

@doctorbills790 3 года назад

Oh my god! So I guess you guys don't know that towers hold together under COMPRESSION NOT MY EXTENSTION!!!! There have been people killed by picking towers up at the top and trying to set them down... the bolts give way. The proper way to so this it to run a cable through the center of the tower down to the bottom so that all of the weight is resting on the bottom of the tower putting all of the sections under compression. Lucky you guys weren't killed.
