Yah , looking at how your trying to set up that tower , in the thumbnail . Well you have it half right . I did notice the slack line going from the top of the tower past the bottom to a possible anker points . The army has a technique for doing that and no one will get hurt . AND HOPEFULLY YOU DONT DROP IT , THAT YOU BREAK THE ANTENNA AT THE TOP ! I’m thinking of the 292 , and the OE 254 . So I’m also thinking you’re going to need your car to tow it up . If all the ropes and cables are the same distance and at equal distance apart and from the base . You could have it up in 10 seconds . It’s a trick , I assure you , to do it by yourself . It helps though if you have help .

Hi Randy, do you know the person two doors up from you that has the Rohn tower in their yard? I wonder if they's want to sell it. I'm looking for some tower pieces. It doesn't look like they are using it for anything and it's maybe a 20-25 foot tower. If you know anything please let me know. Thank you.

Great... You win. Nothing more to say other than you win with all your awards, resources and money. Interestingly enough, 99% of all Hams around the world could not afford anything close to what you have. You should have awards with the amount of money you spent in amateur equipment. I am happy talking 10 meters over seas on only 60 watts and a wire in my tree. By the way... I did achieve my Technician, General, and Amateur Extra in three months. I have that going for me....

I'd have to guess north of $50K factoring in the men and the crane time. Those cranes went for $250-450/hour with a 4 hour minimum back when I was working 10 years ago. Gotta be more now.
