TV antenna towers

February 10, 2006 1:25 PM

Where do you get those little 30-foot TV towers, that look kind of like this? They're all over the place out here in rural Texas, but I don't have any idea where people get them. They can't be ham radio towers, as I've bought those before and they run close to $1000. I just want something to get my weather station wind sensors up over the tops of the pine trees.

It's a TV antenna tower.
Here's a 24 footer for $250. (scroll down)

My dad just gave his away after he got cable, you might get lucky if you put a "wanted" ad in your local newspaper.

Sorry, meant to include the TV Tower information page, click through the appropriate style to find prices and ordering info.

You can pick one up at almost any Hamfest.

Good point... I might try putting up a card at the bulletin board at Wal Mart here... I figure I might be able to snag someone who has DSS and wants the eyesore off their property (though to me, the DSS dishes are also eyesores).

When I lived in NE Texas, I bought mine at Radio Shack.
