wish my village would let me put one like that up. All I can do is a poll with an a99 on top and can not go over 35' total.
looks real good...

Hey Okie. See you live in Ringling. I live in Ardmore. Guess we pretty close. Maybe catch on the air sometime.

Hey man sure looks good!! Now you can get on the air.

Just down the road from my house there was a tower that I saw everytime I went past it, and it didn't have anything on it so yesterday I stopped and ask the man if he would get rid of it, sure take it down he says, It didn't take long to get the sawzall out in have it loaded on the truck!!

Came home and measured it and it 37'.

I am getting ready to put one up on my shop and I have a 28' and a 13' that I was going to weld together then put a 10' pipe out the top and then my antron and that would get me almost 70' to the tip, but now...

I think I may take the 28' and the 37' weld them together and a 5' pole then my A99.

I will be mounting it right tight to the back of my shop and it has a 6x6 post running right up to the peak that I thot I would fasten it to and the shop is 20' to the peak so that leaves me with about 45' of tower sticking up past the shop with no support.

My question is how far can you go from you last support without having guy wires???
