Subject: Re: 2nd tower question

Brett,

Believe me, after putting up three towers in various yard sizes, it
would be worth going free standing, digging a big hole based upon the
manufacturer's recommendation, and skipping the trouble with all the
guys.  Then that way you don't have to decide on cutting non resonant
lengths of cable, clamp thing, or buying more expensive non conductive
cable.  For 50 footers, and a free standing non guyed tower, it isn't as
much concrete as one would think and it is a whole lot less trouble,
too.  It is also a whole lot easier to climb.  If you are young, that
is.

Phil.
