Yep I've been to Amarillo several times going down to Clovis and Farwell off of 60. Seem like about half of the times there would be a couple of guys on bases or whatever plugging up ch 19

My apologies @The20poundhammer for dragging you thread out to the tower section.

So now I'm curious what antenna you put up on that one?

Okay I've had time to look around on the internet and check out your Tower. That's one big nice tower. That's a big ole wind force too. You've got me go get the tape measure out and figure out just which Rohn Tower I do have. Apparently it's HDBX48 wind load 18. Silly Rohn site says maximum...

at first I thought you meant on the ad but now you mean remember here is in Ireland? Yeah that's not going to work my mistake. Well I'll try to remember that next time thanks

Something like that was what I was questioning, before the other sealing methods.

Aah I was just curious what it's gonna take. I've got a good 48' free stander to eventually figure out how, and who to help. Appreciate the reply. Hope it goes very smooth .

I've only been involved in a couple of towers coming up and down one was hinged and the other a light duty with 3 guy on the rope. Just curious what you got to do to get yours down or if you have to have a climber guy?

I don't suppose there's anything you could put in that Shield to block off most of the wicking effect, solder or something?

About the same here neighbor.

Really "watchful eye" so sorry you found my comment not helpful but it wasnt to you or quoted from you. Thank you? HaHa Back

Yep 100,000 miles and they were wore out.

Now I want an old time Sunday.

Yep it seems like we left something behind.

Been pretty quiet here SW MO. I even heard some locals last night and it's been months on that one.
