Re: 10m tilt-over winch-up tower

I bought it from Ant (http://www.g3txq-hexbeam.com/) in the UK when the exchange rate was better than it is now, and it went together very easily. You can see from my QRZ.COM log page that it works well, with 29 countries worked since I put it up, and that's with the IC-7410 barefoot, and only an ho...

Re: 10m tilt-over winch-up tower

Thanks, Tim - sorry my humour was unclear :? (It's a hot day here, and I have yet to have my first Cooper's Pale Ale; that's my excuse) I bought the NBS Antennas beastie, hence the Nally now up for sale. One aspect that appealed to me is the ability to be able to ensure that it cannot be raised to o...

Re: 10m tilt-over winch-up tower

Thanks, John.

I have a Nally 13.7m towers, but it's too high for my local council.

Re: 10m tilt-over winch-up tower

Thanks, John.

I have heard nothing but good things about Andy.

However, limited yard space limits me to a free-standing tower, inability to climb limits me to winch-up/tilt-over, and my local council limits me to 10m.

Thanks again - Chris

10m tilt-over winch-up tower

I seem to remember that someone is now making a 10m tilt-over winch-up tower here in Oz, but can't find them.

From memory, they are in NSW or Qld, and announced themselves either here or on VKHam.

Can anyone help, please?

Cheers,

Chris

Re: NALLY winch-up/tilt-over information needed

Peter, I reckon that buying a new bottom section is probably easiest. The slab mount base costs more, but the pier version costs more to transport - pretty much an even call to Adelaide. I have no experience with the slab mount base, and the Nally site does not give much information. What is your ta...

Thanks, Peter, for the comprehensive post.

It came with the original receipt from Nally!

Re: NALLY winch-up/tilt-over information needed

Thanks, all. I don't have the slightest problem paying Nally for whatever is needed (unusual, I know!), but not having to is preferable :-) The change in standards changes it all, and thanks for pointing that out. I have printed out Peter's post, and will take it to the Council folks; the tower will...

NALLY winch-up/tilt-over information needed

I have just taken delivery of a Nally 2-stage tilit-over/winch up lattice tower in excellent condition. I have the articles on replacing the winches and welding on a new base tube (plus access to an extremely competent welder), but will need dimensions, calculations, etc. for my local council. Does ...
