Here's some pics of my home brew tv antenna tower that I'll use for CB,etc. I built this back in 01' using 1/2&3/4" rigid electrical conduit(galvanized) and some angle iron for the ends of each tower section. It got built better as I progressed and had help from my brother who used to weld for a living so the wire welder he supplied came in handy. If I spent enough time doing research on tower construction it would've been built different. The tower consists of four sections. The base and three tower sections. At first,I didn't think that rigid conduit would be strong enough for the job but with adequate bracing makes it quite strong. It does flex but not much so I wouldn't recommend it for very tall towers. Perhaps with cross bracing it would stiffen it up a whole lot more. My tower hasn't been painted for a few years so what you see in these pics is the Rustoleum primer coat. Painted up with silver paint it's a sight to behold. Costs:$250 per section
The rope in the pic is to pull the tower off center once the bolts that secure the tower to the base are removed.
