A new tower — not mine

N0HR Tower SystemI have long been remiss in not reporting on N0HR’s tower progress. I’ve been watching this fairly long process (for those who have not put up a tower, it takes much longer than you think) with great fascination. And, to be honest, a great amount of envy.

But, great pictures of the process and a ton of information about all of the other stuff that goes into putting up a tower and antennas.

Here are the links and a quick summary of the posts:

And this doesn’t represent the posts on lightning protection, grounding, selecting coax and all the other details about what is needed for a great tower installation.

And now you know why N0HR’s blog title is “Ham Radio — A contact sport.” Take a visit for some great information.
