Tower Project......

[Wiskey Delta-40]

Just got back with I think was a good find.... 40 foot Rohn for a $100..... Might see about getting the 2 lower sections to get another 16 foot, But I think this may do me for now for my 5 element tri-bander.. Need to find rotor and controls now.......

yeah a good deal and yes go get the other 16'

. . . Or just add a strong section of mast 10 ft above the tower, since the rotor will be mounted in the tower anyway. That should be sufficient for any tri-bander (10m-15m-20m) beam @ 50 ft and still have a fine low angle of radiation.

IMO, since it is already more than a wavelength over the ground surface, it is alredy more than enough for a low angle of radiation for 11/10m . . .

Looks similar to my 56ft Delhi tower which is still sitting in my garage. :sad: Is that a free standing tower? If so, you definitely got a good deal!

Yes very close to Delhi DMX towers. I got a 40' thats the same up now and a 48' sitting in the barn for future use. Around my next of the woods they are free or very cheap if you take them down.

The tower in the back of the ranger looks bigger than the tower on the ground?

Yes the tower is suppose to be a free stander.... I am going to build a tilt base for it I think..... But then again they do slide into each other/ with a gin pole I can pull each section up and bolt together
