Hi Ron, A simple installation should be adequate if you're not planning in-band receiving capability while you're transmitting. Otherwise more extreme measures may be necessary to avoid micro-arcing, such as bonding tower sections together and bonding the upper ends of guy wires to the tower or insulating them very close to the guy attachment. 73 Frank W3LPL -----Original Message----- From: Topband [mailto:[email protected]] On Behalf Of Ron WV4P Sent: Tuesday, August 18, 2020 2:06 PM To: 160 Subject: Topband: Rohn 25 Vertical questions. Howdy All, I'm getting ready to put up a Rohn 25 Insulated Base ~1/4 wave vertical. (115') and I'd like to get some advice if possible. I'm using guy brackets. Any reason to use Insulators between the Big Grips / Phillystran and the brackets like is recommended on higher bands ? Any preferred goo or concoction to put on the tower sections before joining them ? Or nothing ? Any other advice on the tower / radiator itself from folks that have BTDT ? My plan is 115' and I'm using a Rocket Top at the top. Without any mast I will have my 115' but I plan to insert a mast into the rocket top (8') and have it Inside the tower, not extended above the top. I figure if it resonates too high I have 8' to play with up top. Thanks, Ron, WV4P _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector _________________ Searchable Archives: http://www.contesting.com/_topband - Topband Reflector
