    The Texas Star 350 mini

    I'm looking to put an eight element beam on top of a 150 ft Rohn 25g Tower And possibly put a colossal 10K antenna on a sidearm at 100 ft What I want to know is is that too much weight for the tower The rotor is going to be at the bottom of the Tower so it's easy to work on the tower is going to...
