What does Polarisation: Linear, Beamwidth: (Azimuth / Elevation) 5° / 6° mean

here is also a place where you can buy lattice towers

See that UT7 on the top of the pole?

There's a lot of money in that box. It's not being blown away by the southeaster or the northwester

how much do you think he will ask and what is the hieght? I would like to put one in my garden so that i can remove the antenna pole i mounted againts the roof.

I have no idea. I think he has 6m lengths for sale.

You can take those thin masts quite high.

Here's an old shot of our offices in Harare in 2001.

That's a 24m mast in the back yard.

I've used two of these http://www.scoopdistribution.co.za/product_info.php?cPath=39_71&products_id=658 against a wall once or twice when mounting 3m galvanised poles. So far, none have been blown down.

I've found the "trick" lies in proper bracing. Whenever I mount something heavy on a wall, I always drill holes through the wall, use threaded rod and put a spreader plate / brace on the inside.

There is no way that this is going to stay up if only supported by six carriage bolts.

Which one?

The 24meter one? I wonder how much does lattice antenna's cost. I dont hope it is 2 expensive

US$2,500 back in 1998.

The whole thing was done professionally. Engineer's certificate, 25 year warranty on the galvanising and it's still standing today looking as good as the day it went up.

Call Tim at Scoop. They have some lattice towers that are taking up space in their warehouse.

This 6m pole is against the side of a building with that big frame to brace it against wind. The aerials at the bottom point to high sites / backbone links while the ones at the top are for clients. We've still got to bolt a couple of sectorals on to complete the installation.

Kilos, Uniterm tell me those cameras are winging their way to SA. I'm looking forward to getting one and putting it up against the Miro one.

I have spoken to Tim and he says that the tower is not porperty of scoop and some other guy. And he think that that person will ask R12000 a piece. There is three piecies. 3x3 meter

Here is my signal at the moment

I dont think there is any funds available at the moment so this project will have to wait. My signal went from bad to worse. Now it is between -86 and -92. Tranfer rate is 333kb to 544kb.
