I got mine from Arlo metals in tampa

@@tower9969 I subscribed to your channel, thanks for the great information. I appreciate your recommendation regarding the Commscope DB365-OS clamp. My Rohn 25 tower has a 25AG4 top anchoring/bearing plate section. The section's top plate extends over/ outside of the legs. Curious if you have ever worked on a tower with this top section or bearing plate cap? Concerned whether or not the clamp provides enough clearance between the tower leg and gin pole to allow the gin pole to clear the edge of the top plate? Need to change out the antenna so the gin pole is required to pass the top plate.

​I see what you mean.the clamps allow the gin pole to stand off from the section 2 or 3 inches off the top of my head.so yeah I believe it would clear. What antenna are you moving?.​@@km4dr1

@@tower9969 Thanks again for the information. I downsized from a T8 on a 60 ft. tower to a 2 element 15m yagi on 28 ft. tower when we moved from six acres to a city lot. Want to take down the yagi and put up a hexbeam. Getting the hexbeam up will be really tricky but with a couple of tether lines attached and a ground crew I think it can be accomplished. I located a company in San Antonio that can special order the 2.0/1.5" x 12' 6061-T tubing. Appreciate all of your help. My brother Jan, K4QD, lives in West Melbourne.

@@km4dr1 yeah I'm one for three on the hex beams. All I can say is don't cut any corners on it, I learned that the hard way. I have one guy he put a hexBeam on a hazer, but we still had to get it up in the air to mount to mount to the hazer. As you build it you will see there is an opening in the wiring structure to get it oriented to go up and down the tower. Good luck. Did your brother Jan have some weather damage to his antenna about 4 years ago? Jan from West Melbourne sounds really familiar.

thats exactly what its called, made by andrew or commscope

I don't get it

80,000 pound pull strength not good? What experience did you have with them failing? I would like to hear or see more about that.

Its a commscope pipe to pipe clamp

Ur welcome

I think theyre rated up to 110mph, properly guyed

Old business band, obsolete.

They have brackets, and cost an arm and a leg. Or use some cable clamps.

@@tower9969 Hopefully the company that installed that tower is out of business. At 5:03 you can see multiple strands of the guy wire grip are broken. Extremely poor tower installation.

That tower was up there near 30 yrs. Anything needs maintenance at that age, including us. But the method of installation was sufficient, as you can see it was strong enough to be taken down. Nothing was broken, and it went smoothly.

what bolts are you referring to? The AI bolts are not there

@@tower9969 geenie here, unfortunately my lead isn’t being any help. What tools do you recommend I take for a mounted dish and antenna removal. I wanna make sure I show up ready to work and have proper equipment for the job

If you can take some pictures of it I may be able to help more.

@@tower9969 what’s a good email

Speed ratchets 3/4, 7/8, Cresent wrench, channel locks, impact with deep sockets. Get tool lanyards for them just be safe make sure you hook your load before you start taking stuff apart. Are you going up with a lead? They really shouldn't be having a green guy do this for his first time by yourself

it's aluminum,12 foot 2" OD and 1 1/2 ID. An eye bolt, commscope DB365-OS mast clamps.

THANK YOU! I am so glad you shared the exact part#. Like you I've installed towers by myself. I have a home built Jin pole with welded hooks and plates. Mine isn't adjustable and won't work well with Rohn towers. Can hook 1, but have to use ratchet stap for the other. Safe, no, but it works. Your design is better because it's adjustable. Thanks again! Much appreciated.

It looks like industrial scaffold parts

@depayton1979 Thanks for the info. I have never seen anything quite like them before.

I think they are leg swivels but they will lock into position

Did you go to the Big Repeater in the Sky? What Channel is the Almighty on?

Someone is operating the camera, so.....?

A helmet or hard hat is useless since it will just get knocked off of your head. If you fall from the tower it’s used to put parts of you in.🤣😂

I always brought helmets and tried my best to get the folks on the ground to wear them. That is where the danger is.

yep, WFJV. Since went dark after the owner died. kzbin.info?search_query=frank+stevens+wgli

@@tower9969 too bad ,,,community radio is fun!

I've put them up free standing at 50'.

@@tower9969 ty sir,,,,I have 5 sections and the top section. Total of 60',,,,secured to building at 12’.

Perhaps you could be a little more respectful …… You make a valid point in a rather uncouth manner…. “Nice work Sir, Could I respectfully suggest that for future projects you consider wearing a hard hat”

It's not too bad if your on a properly installed tower and using fall protection equipment
