Well another day of being bored and some skip i decided to drive around and look for a tower. To my suprise by our house was somewhat like a tower. Hopefully the people didnt need it. I have a better use for it. 8) Its more like metal stairs and a flat place to stand on on the top( as you can tell i cant describe it) But at the top their is a hollow pole that i can slip the antenna into and i can make it move up and down. So the antenna is now adjustable! To the top is about 20 feet hight give or take a foot or so. I will take pictures when i can but its on the ground and i have to take it to the shop this week to do some serious welding and adding more peices to it. so i dont fall over when i get to the top.
And i have to add a long 30 foot steal rode throung the antenna pole so it wont bend like it does now! After this is done it is going to be awesome. And the top of the antenna should reach around 75 to 80 feet. Now when a storm comes i can lower it.
Should be a sight after im done with it. I will keep you updated.

Well i dont know if their are any hunters here they would know what im talking about but we have about 10 tree stands and out of the 10 we have 3 towers. So what my dad and i did was bring a tower home drive a 10 foot pole into the ground for the antenna. We then put a pole in it and cemented the outer pole into the ground. We are waiting for the cement to dry so tomorrow we are going to get a BOOM for the loader and drive the pole threw the antenna pole i have set up now. Them when we put it in we will have holes drilled in the pole so if i want to move the pole up maby 10 feet i can. And when a story comes i can lower it. the poles are grounded as good as i could get it. When i get done i will post pictures of what we did. When i raise the antenna the tip of it should reach about 65 feet or maby higher. And when i want to lower it i could probably get it down to 20 feet or so!
