Hi Everyone,
I am Ryan, VA3RYC. I am new to the group, and new to the area. I just purchased a home in Flesherton, and I'm looking to put up a tower for Starlink and Amateur antennas. This will be my first tower, and I was going to see if anyone in the area had some experience to share.
I talked to the municipality, and I have it in writing that I do not need a building permit, and I plan to stay under 15m so I fall under ISED and not the land use authority. So I am close to ready for a tower.
My ideal location is right next to the house, so that brings up a few questions. First off, does anyone feel strongly about concrete vs house-attached. Second, does that affect how I ground the tower (I normally would cadweld a new ground rod around and bond the tower with a clamp, but I am unsure being close to the house if I would need to tie it to the house ground too?).
I also know that if I use concrete I probably need to deal with the leverage effect and make it the same depth as the foundation (which would be obnoxious and heavy) or I need to make a flex joint (which I have not done with concrete before).
I'm also planning a hinge base, possibly a Wade: https://wadeantenna.com/product/golden-n...e-up-base/ because I can get a good deal on it.
Any advice would be appreciated!
