We started to do this. Ended up stopping as everyone wanted to be that 30 foot higher, but when you built a 60 foot attached tower or 100 foot guyed, it got expensive and then they did'ent want it. Better purchase, bucket truck. -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL

You can do bgp padding and other tricks. Part of it depends on if you are receiving full routes from your upstream or not. If you need help with ARIN let me know and I can help. Justin --- Justin S. Wilson [EMAIL PROTECTED] CCNA - Mikrotik Advanced Certified - CCNT http://www.mtin.net

How tall are each of the sections in an H40 and H50? I was thinking about using Rohn's 10' tripod to steady the mast while testing. It appears the tripod can accommodate a 2 OD mast. Perhaps fabricate some sort of base that I bolt the tripod to and hold the bottom of the mast for stability.
