On one hand I want it good enough for a CPE, but on the other hand I don't want to hear on the news 20 years from now that it crashed over and killed a guy when he wanted to put his VW Bug on top of it. I want to build it to take whatever people want to put on it.

I'll mix it 4 parts to one. So.....those 15 94 lb bags are like 60 94 lb bags. I hadfigured I needed 1.28 yards for the hole I dug. But now that I have the specs I will see how big the hole has to be. I will only put a CPE on this tower.

It is 5 sections of 8 ft. I just got 15 bags of portland cementand will add my own gravel.I was thinking about three 1 1/2 inch pieces of pipe stuck in the concreteto bolt the tower legs to. I willthread and put couplers on the pipe at 22 inches so they can't move. I'vegot some re-bar to chuck down in the hole too.I've got 3 8ft ground rods and will bond with #4 bare stranded wire. Ipicked up a load of grade 8 bolts,washers, and lock washers for bolting the tower together and to the pipestubs. Anyone have any suggestionsfor me? This is my first tower. I will pour tomorrow afternoon. brian -- WISPA Wireless List: wireless@wispa.org Subscribe/Unsubscribe: http://lists.wispa.org/mailman/listinfo/wireless Archives: http://lists.wispa.org/pipermail/wireless/*------- End of Original Message -------*------------------------------------------------------------------------No virus found in this incoming message.
