My Antennas.
Before we get started, I was going to use a 3500lbs winch but
It wouldn't lift the tower, so I upgraded to a 12,000lbs winch.
I also got two 1000 CCA Farm battery's that will do the
trick!
I had to first take down the tower from it location and move it to
my house.the tower was 110 feet.
if you look closer at this picture your see the counter weight,
the thin mast coming off the top.
but like dummy I cut this up and gave it to my friend to hall away
this is why I couldn't lift the tower.
Left Picture looking up the 50 foot section with 50 foot folded
Next picture base mount and top with a TV antenna mounted on it.
Most of the bolts where rusted and some welded so I had to cut it
all down piece by piece and rebuild it at home.
This is a Rohn 45G tower this tower came from Larry Harper KA9FBI
now passed 7-30-2012.
----New Home---
Pieces of tower and old antennas.
Repaired pieces are ready, the hand winch is the one I used to
take down the tower, I used it again to install new tower
but soon gave out and I donated it to my friend for junk, I pick
up a 12v 12,000 lbs winch to complete the install.
Lucky for me they was already a starter base here. All I had to do
was replace it leaving as much of it as I can.
4.5 feet in ground and 5.5 foot above ground adding 3 ground
rods.
This won't help yes we got snow.
First section up wife wanted TV antenna put up so it's a temp gin
pole mounted and getting ready next section adding cross bar for
her TV.
getting really cold out!
I had to look around this is at 28 feet up.
Here you can see my first pulley and center picture you can see
were I mount my fold over [ hinge ] last picture crossbar for TV
antenna and on the ground is the top.
TV antenna mounted. [ wife is happy ]
It's up and almost ready, My little 3,500lb winch wont move
this one that's why I got a 12,000lb winch.
as for the rotor I have not tested it and don't plan on using it.
NO-NOT-FORSALE!
I will be mounting a R-7 on top for 10m-80m.
