In this continuation of our antenna maintenance series, we're moving to the final steps: finalizing the Fan Dipole HF antenna, securing the cabling, and raising the 40-foot tilt-over antenna mast back up. For new hams who may be unfamiliar with the tilt-over mast system, this will be valuable information as to how this system works. Tune in to continue enhancing your knowledge and ensuring your antennas remain in peak working condition.

Would you install a tilt-up mast for HF ?

Sure I would. It's just a matter of the Space Capacity that is available in your / my Front / Backyard. I have seen a lot of awsome homebrew Tilt Mast Systems with manual and electric Winches for light - medium Duty Antenna Systems. In most of the Cases this is helpful for a 1 Man Army to get the Job done alone without working his Fingers to the Bone. No Sweat working comfy and safely.

Holy Moly...what a Beast of a Mast. I love the snow capped Mountain View in the Background. Happy Sunday Kevin 💯👌

If I still lived in a house I would definitely look at a tilt-over mast.

Thanks for making these videos. You have a nice little setup there. I’m glad you live around reasonable neighbors who don’t mind an antenna.

Nice setup you have! Good tips as well, some seem to think mast, antennas, Coax etc are a install snd forget thing...like you said things wear out! Its less work playing radio but you can find as much personal satisfaction by keeping your equipment well maintained as you can by getting a rare DX contact...

Great info as I explore ways of putting up antenna(s) to get started in hf. I live up in the Layton area. Would you ever consider providing guidance/assistance to another local on figuring out the putting together an HF setup that my wife would approve of? 😅😁
