John N. Gretchen III N5JNG NCS304 http://www.tisd.net/~jng3 When you have to put your observatory on a mole hill to get some elevation you know you are in a flat land. That is a unique name! and low too. Usually the radio transmitter towers are the physically highest places in a lot of coastal Texas counties Rick -- Correct domain name is arvig and it is net not com. Prefix is correct. Third character is a zero rather than a capital "Oh".

The base of the pier is a round wooden pole similar to a telephone pole.
It is pressure treated for sal****er, ~10" diameter and 6 feet in the ground with about 3 feet above ground. Now to your question, I have used the same pier in three different locations now (a real pain to get back out of the ground) and it was too short for this location (observatory walls taller that last time) so the pipes simply extend the pier to the desired height. jerry wrote: John its bugging me so will ask: what's all of the pipe around the pier about?
