Tower Project Pics.

Do NOT ever try that technique with a freestanding tower. Well that is unless you dig the hole deep enough you can't see out of it and wide enough that you can lay down in it. :D

Should he line the hole with one of these?

I went 4x4x4 for my freestander. Thats what the tower manufactuer recomended. Butted it up to the concrete from a old sat dish so it has a big boob on the side most the wind comes from lol. Its alot of fun talking twice as far local over a grond plane. Like they say if ya cant hear them you cant talk to them. I have a 5 elment h/v maco up and I love it eastside. I used to talk on a moonraker a friend of the family had up in the 70s and it talked great also. A tram and 1000 watts to play with when I was 13 or so was a blast with that big ol quagi!
 
Congrats on the tower. I know you will really enjoy radio now.

Thanks....it is giving me a smile on my face every time I turn on the radio and turn it a little and then listen...its nothing short of amazing. :)
