Magnets don't lose their magnetism unless heated to very high temperatures. In warm temperatures (achievable at the top of a water tower) it may lose a little bit, but it returns to normal once it is cooled. On 11/8/08, St. Louis Broadband <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > I have two water towers that

Are the magnets the best (most cost effective) way of completing this type of install? Or is capacitive discharge stud welding going to be the better route? On Sat, Nov 8, 2008 at 11:28 AM, Brian Rohrbacher <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>wrote: > Do a little reading on rare earth magnets (the strongest mag

Do a little reading on rare earth magnets (the strongest magnet there is). You might be able to do some calculations and figure out what you would to build your own. Here are a couple sites I just googled. I think all you need to do is figure out how much pull force you need to offset the wind

I have two water towers that will need 4 to 5 antenna mounts. The water towers are both the same. They are approximately 120' with a climbing tube and a bulb at the top. There are no side rails. The hatch opens to the bulb. How do you attach antennas??? Is welding standoffs the best practice? Any
