This is a planning page for putting up the Antenna Tower at the Make Shop

Hinged Base Plate: https://www.protelecomsupply.com/rohn-products-llc-25g-hinged-base-plate ~$350
- This is expensive, can we get someone to weld a custom one together?
- Called Gigaparts, they don't sell these, but recommended MFJ in Starkville, MS.

Concrete (likely to be purchased by a concrete supplier)
Shovels for digging the hole
Rebar
Wood for hanging the base place rods in the setting concrete
Base Plate bolts: https://www.google.com/shopping/product/5017470159642663498?safe=strict&sclient=psy-ab&q=ham+radio+hinge+base+plate&oq=ham+radio+hinge+base+plate&pbx=1&bav=on.2,or.r_cp.r_qf.&bvm=bv.85142067,d.eXY&biw=1680&bih=939&tch=1&ech=1&psi=XZvSVJKsIIyqgwTe8oO4Cw.1423088478217.3&prds=paur:ClkAsKraX9bj71jeeL1S1XzgS8kKSlzpdgsdMS2CmcvKSwYKyZeP90On-EBgmYVPRsmyXOdMl4BrLeHDrf62vID_rWP7SzStB9y-0gG04FRcqBArlLJEVBOgNhIZAFPVH7169tvGCn28Wql0GPcCuV5CTiNaaw&ei=apvSVIAtw6WDBOukg9gK&ved=0CHMQpiswAg ~$30
- if we had something that could bend metal bolts, it seems like we could make these ourselves
Hand crank wench
Wire for wenching the tower up and down

Needs to be tilt-able so we can easily service the equipment mounted on the tower without climbing it
Needs to be semi-portable, meaning that if we ever move we can unbolt the tower and take it with us.
Electric wench would be preferrable for taking it up and down, but we could probably do alright with a hand crank.
