WOW.... that thing is HUGE... and it looks like enough concrete that you could just have the block sitting on top of the ground, not in it.... (wink wink)
Great vid
kimdaviscali (AKA Jennifer)... :o)

@jwhfla We must stay flexible! I mean the fixture that mounts in the concrete to provide the three points of connection for the tower to the ground. You can install this at any time and pour/cure concrete even before you order tower so when tower arrives, you're ready to lift tower off delivery truck and install tower at same time.

Yeah, life does have a habit of changing ou plans. Thanks for the offer of the base fixture. Do you mean the tower raising fixture? I'm not quite at th point of needing it, but I hope to be soon and will keep it in mind. Thanks & 73.

@jwhfla The dilemmas of life. This tower is in VE7; I am now in VE1! Should I try to relocate it 5800 km east? Should I sell it and buy a new one? No Steppir on it yet since I moved away. Can I sell you a brand new base fixture for HDX-72 (in storage in VE7)?

Looks like you've had lots of changes, location & call at least. Did your 90f'er come with you? Did u ever get the Steppir? How about a brief update. I've got a possible hdx-72 purchase and very interested in these issues...:) 73

Construction was harder than video! But now...push one button and bands open up as best they can with zero sunspots. Current 80-foot high all-band dipole catches everybody I hear on any band.

Tower is currently holding 130-foot long wire dipole at 80 feet high fed with 600-ohm ladder line. Antenna works FB on 8 HF bands: 80~10 metres. Still waiting for Steppir yagi to come....
What tower is it? How tall?
