180' Rohn 55g tower.

This tower has antennas for 40m mostly.  It has an inverted V for 160m at the top and a 4 element 10m beam above the top 40m one. It also has a low inverted V for 80m. Just below the top it has a side mounted 2m vertical that is the Cluster node antenna on VHF.

It is Rohn 55g installed with buried short base section, Rohn spec base and anchor blocks, and solid 1/4" EHS steel guy wires with guy brackets and torque arms. The top guys are doubled using one of the Rohn triangular anti torque brackets.  The top is a flat top with a Yaesu G-2800SDX rotor. There is a Rohn TB-3 thrust bearing above the rotor.

As I was running out of summer and had lots of other work to also do, I hired XX Towers to finish the construction.
