I just went from 40 to 60ft Rohn 25 for my internet. I did a 3x3 base that was 6ft deep and a grounding rod on each leg that was also connected in a ring using copper strap. Best thing you can have for towers is a friend with a bucket truck. My tower came out of someones yard and my ISP moved it for me. Plucked it right out of the ground and did the same in reverse here.

Hi from Australia,looks like a excellent plan.

[@LCARAHAMRadio]

Great to see an Aussie watching our videos. Stay tuned and thanks for watching!

Do you have a video on the installation of a base rotator on the tower? Wanting to put a hex beam on the top with the rotator at the base of the tower.

Yes my suggestion is to ground it from the tower to the regular ground itself without into the concrete. Like how you would normally ground an antenna 😉

[@LCARAHAMRadio]

That's the plan!

Nice tower. $600 per 8-ft section.
No!

Indeed, buying one used is how to go if you can find one. That's the case with this installation. Thanks for watching!

Geez mate, mow the grass BEFORE you set out the area for your shed. Better still, you need to mow the grass period!!!!!!
