If you have a tower like that, you're going to need to learn to climb it. Could have saved a bunch of money. It's not that hard, assuming you didn't destroy your body.

painful to watch

That is way to much concrete, you don't need that large of a hole for a Rohn 25 tower at 40 ft.. 3x3 ft area would have been enough especially if you guy wire it. With that large antenna it needs to have guy wires.

Never seen so much bunch of ameters using a cherry picker in my lifetime

Can you hear me now!

Oh my...... credit for having a go at this, but please please be careful to pay attention to your safety. Please guy the tower and stay off the boom lift. Good luck with the DX but no QSO is worth dying for.....

This is fantastic!! I knew every single song! These guys were really good!

2 days,really? That do you doing 2 days? It's work for 1 person for 2 days. Stupid work with erection tower...

I wonder if it's still standing !!!

При хорошем прохождении будет работать,высота маловата. под такую мачту ненужно бетонировать.

Don't call OSHA lol

(facebook) amateur radio antennas large and small (all over the world)

Good job, few rough points but you got it done and everybody went home. I did mine a little different, other than no lift. I empted for 2 more sections of mast and put my rotor closer to the ground

I dont think them guys know how to use that lift very well.🙃

Originally designed and built by W9AYK and WD9EKV. Looks great at the new location.

I love watching these videos I'm wondering if everybody survived this project. As a retired professional tower erector that worked for a company called Stann & associates out of Park Ridge ILL. I amazed more hams don't wind up hurt or worse killed . You have enough concrete for a much larger tower and that Rohn 25 needs to be guyed as it's being erected not afterwards also if that is a Rohn EF 2545 ginpole the rope goes down the inside of the pole for the down line their has been to many hams seriously hurt fooling with towers we never did tower work for hams they usually want you to cut corners . W e put up one tower for the ham club at northwestern u

Nice video - but if that is Rohn 25, should be guyed or house bracketed at 20ft and then guyed at 40ft. Check Rohn catalog. You see how wavy it was with just you touching the tower at 30ft level when you were trying to add another 10ft. Guy now or be worried with any gusty wind or worse.

We put up a tower over a year ago using a lift. However each section were hoisted by a Gin pole and only guided and tightened by the crew in the bucket. We went 40 ft as well. The Gin pole makes it a safer operation. The antenna was installed on the last section before hoisting it up

I had to stop watching this. These are the types of Hams that sooner or later are spoken of in the past sense.

So how are you liking this plane. Thinking of getting this one as my second plane. thanks.

Noice! Vetty Good!
