Testing my ham radio tower and new winch before installing any antenna. I hired a welder to build the tower stand for me. I poured the concrete and installed it then added an electric winch. The tower (Rohn 25G) is five sections and is about 48′ tall without the rotor, mast and antennas.

    Nice. I thinking to similar, with oilfield pipe but I’m not smart enough to calculate all the angles & loads. A tower that short doesn’t need the hazard paint pattern. Did you do that to look like the big boys. 😉

    Sorry my tower stand needs further testing before I share it. I would not want to be somehow partly responsible for any accident. You might consider having an engineer design one for you. Thanks for your interest and 73.
