  • The Doc. is the guy that owns it. He got a very good deal on it. I'll try and remember to get his call to you. It is an amazing thing to watch and use. They did real good this year.

  • Really impressive shortwave antenna tower!! I do miss North Carolina and Duke. Maybe I missed it, but how tall was that tower?

  • Ill check. They did not extend the tower fully.

  • 100 feet is maximum height.

  • Wow that is quite a tower, is that strictly for ham users or can that kind of setup work for AM/FM radio and low power VHF/UHF analog television? How much would a tower, antenna and rotor setup like that run in general? I can just imagine how far a signal can travel with one of those.

  • Hey Gary,

    You could configure the tower for many different bands by what you stack on top of the tower. Commercial AM would be a problem because the AM tower is hot and this tower is supported by the ground. But for anything you can stack on top will work great! Thanks.

see all
