I have been hitting the local repeater with my little 2M HT and I am thinking about stepping up to a real antenna. I marked up the image below with my current thoughts on erecting a tower. Local regulations say I can have radio or television aerials no higher than 50 feet. The red lines below are power and blue are data. I have indicated my shack location as well as a 50 foot yellow line indicating where the tower would lay prior to pushing it up into position. The tower itself would be a Universal Tower #4-30 with a single 2M vertical on top. Someone offered me a Ringo Ranger on the local repeater last night. If I use that antenna the tower+aerial would stay well under local limits. The tower location was chosen because it is close to the shack, the most inconspicuous tower location on the lot and I can erect it and feed it without having to cross any power lines. Comments, concerns? I am hoping to get the tower purchased and set up this spring.
