Excellent Bill outstanding

What a great way for one guy to raise a tower. Very smart setup.

Sure, I got the pulley with bronze bearing from Skycraft surplus in Orlando, I welded everything else. Just find a couple of pulley wheels (sheaves) a bolt to fit and weld a couple of pieces of angle iron together. I really like being able to lower it for service or adjustment.

Fantastic!

Like your ideas very much. Can you tell me more about where you found the pulleys you used on both sides of the power pole near the top?

Best to have concrete base raised at least a few inches above ground to prevent puddling. Also the base plate area being almost flush is big trouble where debris is accumulated underneath holding moisture and increasing rusting rates. Stainless is rust resistant not rust proof. Good luck with the tower. Definitely make sure weeds and bushes don't take hold around the base because you might never see the failure coming rusting up rom the bottom. Hope you anchor bolts and nuts are stainless too.

Started foundation for second tilt over for ham radio.

Building another tilt over for my KIO hexbeam ham radio antenna. Purchased a tilt base galvanized from Normsfab.com, super quality tower parts at great prices.

great video very nice setup where did you purchase your pulleys you have on your pole I would like to do something like this with my tower

Hello, I also like a lot of your ideas. I recently put up a 30 foot tower using ideas from about 4 you tube videos.I used your pulley ideas and would like to know where you got the bearings for the pole? I live in the Cincinnati Ohio area and put this up expecting to get more channels and got the same amount. Very disappointing but still working on that.

In case tower has a tilt of 3 degree in aperture where antenna is to be mounted, whether electrical beam tilt correction is advisable or mechanical tilt should be corrected? Even in mechanical correction whether tower should be vertically corrected or some interface solution for verticality of antenna mounting interface is advantageous solution?

Great job! I love it when folks design and build their own projects. Everyone should learn how to be self sufficient. How did you do your grounding/lightning protection?

LInk for update pic above on subtitle, my new tenants. Just knock to see if they are home.

I always used a thrust bearing and set my rotor up two feet from the ground. Why does everyone put them so high in the air?Just run mast pole down the center to a rotor mounted on a plate a couple of feet off the ground and if it messes up all you need is a bucket to sit on to work on it or replace it. It's a hassle to have to lower a 70 foot tower to do maintenance on a rotor.
