Ouch. Thats what I have been finding
out. Much simpler and cheaper to run off other towers unless you have the
cash to outlay :(
Any other suggestions?

We built our own tower and it was rather
inexpensive. I have a friend who was in the two way radio business for
40 years and built lots of towers, so he was very helpful. We bought the
100' steel tower (Rohn 25G) from Hutton (www.huttononline.com), picked it up
locally, for less than $1k. We used friends / relatives for labor (free)
so the only additional cost was the concrete, rebar, guy wires, and
miscellaneous hardware. It was not that difficult to build, took us
about 4 days, mainly due to the over 100 degree heat. Total investment
was less than $2.5k. If you need any help with how to build one, what
parts to buy, want to see pictures of ours going up, etc., just email me
offline ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
and I will be happy to help.

I was wonder what everyone is doing for
towers? I have high trees in my area, 70 foot high in some
cases. I'm running off a radio station tower now, but what other
options are there? I have found a 100 foot telescoping tower for like
$3,200 bucks, but you need a crane and a big ass crew just to get the thing
up, not to mention the guy wires.
Anyone have any suggestions?
