Re: [WISPA] Suggestions to reach 80 feet.
Don't. If that's the wrong answer, a 100' utility pole IF you can get it in the ground would work. Might have to guy it to keep that 2' dish lined up. This sounds like it might be a good application for Sat. access for people, or 900mhz.

Re: [WISPA] Suggestions to reach 80 feet.
Is there an existing structure there? how tall is it? What kind of winds do you get there? We reach 60-70ft with a Rohn 25G bracketed at 25 ft Marlon K. Schafer (509) 982-2181 wrote: Don't.

RE: [WISPA] Suggestions to reach 80 feet.
What size man diaper do you wear while climbing that Rohn 25G 70 free stander? :-) I am sure I would need one that holds at least 10lbs!!

Re: [WISPA] Suggestions to reach 80 feet.
A tower. I think thats what I would suggest. Its probably cheaper and more stable than guying a weather balloon into place. I suppose you could buy a crane and park it there, but that would probably be more expensive than a tower, at least long term. . Do you have enough land available to put in guy wires, and permission to cut a few trees to bury guy anchors? A guyed tower would be less expensive than a self-supporting one. You might consider making a deal with the person in the area with the tallest (and highest) house to mount the stuff there. If its tall enough, you might be able to bolt a section (or two) of Rohn 25 to the side of the chimney and reach what you are trying to. 80 feet is going to be tricky, but not impossible. We mounted a 50' telescoping mast to my brother's fatherinlaw's chimney using three 4 standoffs and a LOT of 1/4 steel rope for guy wire at every guy ring. Its holding up a 19 basket grid antenna and a 17db pacwireless sector. We have enough customers on it to justify a real rohn25 tower on the ground now. Pete Davis NoDial.net.
