Rotating Tower For Ham Radio 30 Feet Tall At Jim W6LG’s House And Can Be Used For Emergency Comms
“Jim Heath W6LG shows his newly installed antenna and tower at his residence. The tower has a maximum height of 30 feet as restricted by Placer County Ordinances as shown in the County General Plan and adopted by the City Rocklin. The tower rotates because it sits on a thrust bearing. The antenna system is designed to provide emergency communications when used by Federally Licensed Amateur Radio Operators. Jim during the last 56 years on the air has helped in emergencies several times. He has been given awards from the Board of Supervisors for his service to the community.”
