SSV Tower Up
Installing the 100′ Rohn SSV ham radio Tower. There are 5 twenty foot sections. We mounted three in singles, then put the top two in at once, because the boom truck wasn’t tall enough to put the top 20′ on top of an 80′ base. Sorry there’s not more video, but there were only three of use working – N9VW on the ground ropes and video, KC7RAS on the boom truck and tower, and me (K7GLM) bolting tower sections together. Steve could only shoot video during the slow times! The SSV tower is normally a commercial tower, but I’m using it for amateur radio and emergency communications.

Rohn-25G Tower Install (On the cheap, BUT SAFELY)
Here is a view of the progress on the installation of my Rohn-25G 50′ tower. I acquired it from a friend of mine in trade for a case of beer and some gutter repair help, not that I did a lot. My father and I dug a rather narrow 6ft hole which we filled with 8″ of gravel, then set the first tower piece down on top of it and seated the legs in the stone. This allows for drainage so that any water entering the tower legs wont collect, freeze, and then split the pipes in the winter. Then we dumped in another 8 inches of gravel and backfilled the hole with dirt, stopping to compact it with some 2×4’s about every 12 inches. The tower ended up being rock solid, as in absolutely NO saw what so ever. It is as if we bolted it to the house already. I will upload more pics as we make progress and begin lifting up the other sections to complete it.
Santiago Peak 360 degree view from top

The metal pipes you see sticking out of the ground are viewfinders for popular landmarks like Catalina Island, Mt Palomar and Mt Wilson.

Video Rating: 0 / 5
The making of my single element Delta Loop antenna. Designed for 11m but can be used on 10 which is what I built it for originally but it works on 20m and even down to 80m although obviously a good antenna tuner is required. Ideal for short spaces. I was going to build this for 20m but the length of the rods would have made it dearer than I wanted to pay. This project was to come in under budget at £25. Full build details on www.open-channel.co.uk
