I posed the question with WISP equipment in mind. Not really interested in leasing space to cellco or anyone else for that matter. I was thinking fully loaded 5ghz & 3.65ghz clusters. Maybe one or two 2ft. microwave dishes. A fairly light load. The idea was to try and keep it under 200ft so we could save $ on not lighting the tower.
FYI, I just received a quote on a 195ft Sabre self-supporting tower. It came in at $23k. A 100ft Sabre came in at $11k On Fri, Jun 2, 2017 at 8:21 AM, Lewis Bergman <[email protected]> wrote: > The biggest issue with the question is there is no loading requirement. > Height is one of the smaller factors in determining tower cost.
