Re: [AFMUG] Mounting to Cement Stave Silos

Thanks Colin, I think the diameter of the silo will probably rule these out. It looks like it would be a great option for silos with smaller diameters, but the ones we are working with are 30-40 ft in diameter. The banding might be an option, but it will be tough to get around the top of th

Re: [AFMUG] Mounting to Cement Stave Silos

We haven’t done it, but other WISPs in the area typically put Rohn 25G sections next to the silo attached to the bands. If necessary, they extend the tower above the top of the silo. I think there have been threads in the past where people posted photos of how they attached to the bands. The

Re: [AFMUG] drop splicers

I have one of those SignalFire fusion splicers. They are sold all over the place by different vendors and different brand names. In short, it works and it does what it says on the tin. It can be a bit fiddly and annoying at times, but it gets the job done. Main annoyances: - no removable fiber

Re: [AFMUG] Mounting to Cement Stave Silos

Not a bad idea, we hadn’t thought of that one. The silo owners might be nervous about that, but it shouldn’t put any noticeable metal fatigue on the bands due to welding. We’ll ask about that. You don’t have any tower mounts that clamp down to ¾” in diameter do you? Clamping around it and

Re: [AFMUG] Mounting to Cement Stave Silos

You would be better off replacing the bolt with a longer one that goes through a piece of angle iron. Two clamps per angle iron then a U bolt in the center between clamps. Two of these per mount (on different hoops) with a 2-3/8 HDG pipe clamped in the U bolts. On Wed, Oct 7, 2020 at 9:47 AM wr

This is very helpful. Looks like what we’ll have to do. These are flat staves, and our concern is the lack of space between the band and the cement stave. We are looking at some of the beam mentioned in this thread, it looks like we will be able to find something in there. Thanks, David

So I've been giving it thought. If you were in a survival scenario, plane crash, insurrection, aliens, whatever and had to resort to cannibalism, if it were your job to be the hunter. Would you tell your people you were feeding them other people? Or just tell them you captured a cat or something an
