I didn't want to splurge on the AR-20, could only afford a RCA VH226....41fgb5C1okL._AC_SY400_.jpg
Just arrived, still in box. Not sure if it will be sturdy enough for the L2. But, if it ain't I'll use it for my external TV antenna. TV here is crap shoot so I got this....41DZyGqKX2L._AC_SY400_.jpg
120 mile amplified recieve. I'm sure I can turn this by hand.
 
A thread with some pics, some day.
Drawn up some sketches with dims for breakover. Called for quotes on drill pipe today. 3-1/2", 2-7/8", 2-3/8", & 1.900 diameter drill pipe will fit concentricly inside each other. May get one smaller to fit inside 1.900 if available. Sucker rod for misc. Potential of 45-47 foot, but will sleeve at least 5 foot inside each pipe. Resulting in 43' from ground elevation to top of mast where rotator location. Then only couple feet maybe to boom. 4 concentric laterals to first section about 12-13 foot elev., about 6 foot below break. Definitely will require a set of guys. Mobile home anchors for guy ties. Typical boat trl winch, w sheaves to double the capacity of pull.

Could go higher but that would require fabricating a typical tower type section

Sounds like a decent, inexpensive tower.
