Amateur Radio Tower Raised in Under 45 Seconds!

Testing my ham radio tower and new winch before installing any antenna. I hired a welder to build the tower stand for me. I poured the concrete and installed it then added an electric winch. The tower (Rohn 25G) is five sections and is about 48' tall without the rotor, mast and antennas.

@makitaman60 Sorry my tower stand needs further testing before I share it. I would not want to be somehow partly responsible for any accident. You might consider having an engineer design one for you. Thanks for your interest and 73.

I understand, no problem. I just like your design out of all I've seen, I can tell someone put a lot of thinking in this one.Some people don't understand the stress involved in this type of fixture.Thanks again enjoy the videos!

Nice. I thinking to similar, with oilfield pipe but I'm not smart enough to calculate all the angles & loads. A tower that short doesn't need the hazard paint pattern. Did you do that to look like the big boys. ;)
