tell me about the material you used for guying these. >>> Steve <[log in to unmask]> 10/23/01 11:23AM >>> Well, if you only want to hang wires, you could use a supportable = telescopic mast. I used to have a self-supporting HDX-48 which would handle a medium tribander. However, with the regs around where I live, it was easier to justify a guyed Rowan 25G. And, when you're up on top, it doesn't sway nearly as much as the self-supporting towers did. Another option which I used to have when I rented a house in Spokane was a Wilson crankup mast. I had a Ham-m rotor on top with a tribander. You braced the mast against the roof joists. It needed to be cranked down = when the winds started huffing and puffing, but it was a nice little support = for a tribander or a decent VHF array. Steve Pollo k8sp
