The tower I am on is less than $200.
Guess I am in the country! Where the men are men and the sheep run
scared!

$2500 is not expensive compared to spending
$500 a month to be on someone else's towe.

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?

Towers
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.

Towers
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?
