CapturedNature Posted August 12, 2018 Author Share Posted August 12, 2018 14 hours ago, dendrite said: Thanks for the input. My other thought was to just get a new mast that's 40ft tall. https://www.channelmaster.com/TV_Antenna_Mast_p/cm-1850.htm That would make CGs next spring extra scary. I used to have something similar and then went with a Rohn Tower that I found on Craigslist from a former Ham operator. I think the 40' tower was $150 or something like that. The guy just had it laying around but the 10' sections are made from aluminum and are self standing. I just have a TV antenna up there right now at 30' and reserved the 4th 10' section for future use because I just didn't need the extra height. Those are basically the same towers that ASOS's use and you can go as high or as low as you want: http://www.rohnnet.com/rohn-25g-tower I see 50' ones for sale all the time on Craigslist, you just have to find one at the best price. They are solid and yes, you do have to ground it! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There’s a steal of an 80ft motorized collapsible tower in CT, but I’m not paying $2k for mounting weather equipment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The fun thing is I recall an almost identical storm cell just sitting over the north shore and flooding Lynn and Peabody over a few hours back in like October 2010 or 2011.
