  1. I think yall are missing the point of the question here. I asked where I should advertise it. I did NOT ask for your opinions on the structure itself. And don't try to make the claim that what you're saying is relevant to my question. It's not. If someone sees the listing and doesn't like the setup, that's up to them to decide. But first the listing has to be up. That's what I'm asking. I will not market to some commercial company to try and have them build a tower. THAT WAS NOT THE QUESTION and wasn't even in the scope of this project whatsoever. Don't worry about the wind loading or configuration. That's completely irrelevant to the question. Unless YOU are an advertising agent, you simply don't need that info to answer my question. Please don't be thick in the head here. If you don't know, you don't know. Don't try and blow smoke up my ass all day to make yourself think you are being helpful.
  2. Well I guess I should stop believing my lying eyes and ears then because my experience proves you wrooooonggggg
  3. The whole "UHF is LOS Only" is a cope by some really ignorant fellows that think they know everything, and it's a myth thats been spread to no end. UHF will absolutely go over, around, and even through all kinds of stuff including mountains and hills. Power also makes all the difference! Congrats on the upgrade!
  4. Avoid Bridgecom like the plague. Their stuff is utter junk. See if you can find a used Hytera RD982 or similar. They go for a good price on Ebay and are rock solid machines. Been running one on my VHF system for two years now and have had ZERO issues out of it.
  5. There are multiple GMRS repeaters in the area but they are all low profile low coverage systems. They have 4 repeaters covering an area that a single one on my tower would cover easily. I tried to contact the local GMRS club but their website is broken and the contact fields don't work My equipment has a backup power system but only for my stuff, there isn't anything else there. All I can really provide is utility power, internet, and the tower space itself.
  6. Hi Everyone! I'm a long time lurker but just created an account. I own a modest amateur grade tower on a local mountain with a HAAT of about 700ft (the tower is a 100ft tower but only currently raised to 70ft). It's definitely not the type of setup a cellular provider would be interested in. I'm more interested in advertising to GMRS people or the Amateur Radio community. I tried emailing the info to my local Amateur Radio club and they basically told me "good luck bro" and did nothing with the info. I currently have a 2m amateur radio repeater on the very top of the tower but everything below that is available. The coverage area is roughly 40-60 miles in all directions depending on your setup. For reference the tower is in North Alabama, near Huntsville. So where should I advertise something like this? Craigslist? Or is there somewhere better?
