Bob, I use 20Ft of Rohn 25 and a tilt base with a tree near the tower and a winch providing the motion. Total cost of tower sections and base was less than 200$$ Nice to be able to have the antennas and rotators at ground level for maintenance. 73 s have fun, Norm

I am installing a different tripod for my satellite antennas. 25 feet tall with 5 feet between the legs at the base. It will be set up to be tipped over for antenna access. Does anyone have any experience with a similar system? I have a few ideas already from my elmer J oe-K0VTY. You can neve r have too much information. I have a welder, concrete mixer and strong grandsons for moving things around. Pictures available upon request. Any ideas are appreciated.
