I was finally able to get a tower, rotator and antenna setup at home, while these are not new they are well appreciated.

• Tower: 40′ Delhi Tower (4 feet into ground)
• Rotator: CDE Ham II Rotor System
• Antenna: hy-gain TH-3JRS

How it all went together….

• Dug a hole 4 feet deep (I really hate digging).
• Test and wire rotator.
• Installed 1st 10 foot section into hole.
• Installed 2nd 10 foot section and bolted together (used an A frame ladder as it was just 6 feet above the ground).
• Installed roof bracket and braces.
• Verify that tower was plum using a level on all sides.
• Fill hole with dirt.
• Re-verify plum.
• Install 3rd 10 foot section from the roof and bolted.
• Attempt to install final 10 foot section and FAILED.
• Rented boom lift
• Installed final 10 foot section and bolted. (so easy with the boom lift)
• Install rotator onto bottom rung of last tower section.
• Installed shaft.
• Assembled the TH-3JRS on the roof and installed using boom lift.
• Installed and routed coax and control cables.

And not to mention the 5+ so trips to hardware store to get bolts, brackets, etc…

Final Verdict: IT WORKS!!! YAY
