Ok? I thought you were going to show how you did this. Thanks for wasting my time there guy!

An explanation ahead of time, with a full scan of the setup (footings, tower base, cable connection, pulling method) would have been nice. Explaining the 3-point, hinged base, size of the footing, etc., would also have been nice.

Why put the rotor up so high though? I had a 72 footer with a single Maco five element vertical beam, but I mounted my rotor just two feet off the ground in case there was any trouble. I could repair or adjust it without the hassle of lowering it. I just used a thrust bearing and ran the mast pole all the way down the center of the tower.

I put up a 200ft. rohn 25 tower with a super lazer 500 cb ant in 1976 and boy did it get out quite a distance. The ant boom was 3" dia. and 40 ft. long with 8 elements vertical and 8 elements horizontal. I took the ant down and sold it but still have the tower.

sweet awesome.. 5 minutes of my life I'll never get back thank you

This installation is wrought with questions ? 😱

WoWie Stacked 4s on a Big A$$ Tower👍Nice Foundation👍 "That's How You Do It"❗🇺🇸

Never have i seen such a bad video before 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

excuse me guys i forgot to hook up the rotor wire, lets bring it back down

That's a hell of a set up. Can only imagine the forward gain on that thing :)

Ok what did you do actually? ( HOW STEP BY STEP ) then post your video . So you showed us raising it . This would be the end result of step by step.

So just film it with a camera and it will start to rise on it's own. Got it.

Now you can go inside and do some ratchet-jawin'!

Yeah, let's just wait until there's a nice little electrical storm developing overhead and take the chance that, while hearing thunder in the 'hood, we don't all get the p!ss knocked out of us while putting this huge lightning rod in the air.

I had one of these back in the day I still have all cb stuff boosters I use to talk around the world an the neibors use to call me say I cant watch tv I say I be done quick talking to japan lmao

I must have missed the part how you raised it?

Good job boys, super-cool set-up

I won't rate a video from 8 years ago, but it was crap. Wanted to see your winch mechanism...?

Even with the sky needle type tower the weight of the two Yagi's and rotor that tower should have at least 1 to 2 sets of guyed wires.Dont now what part of the country there in but one bad storm and that tower is History 🙁

Stacking antennas gives 3db of gain over a single beam but it makes the beam width much narrower. I know many will read that and have no idea what it means but research will do them good.

Another vid where actual erection of a tower IS NOT SHOWN. Watching the tower go up does NT show HOW it's erected. WITH a tow truck...let's SEE the tow truck. FAIL

Anyone who doesn't support gun control hasn't been pheasant hunting with Liz Cheney's dad.

Nice Video and a great tower hope the condition will be great for you guys what ever band you working 73s from Norway

Love the antenna array, what's the stacking distance, looks about 12, 15 feet. I would have put them on the flat side and stack them somewhere around 28 foot mark it would give you more gain plus the flat side helps gain a bit too, 73 man.

Fantastic. I love the end method! Did the installation get guy wires to hold it and how so?

U dent sho how you did it all I scene waz tower risin' -- wasted my tyme. How tal iz it?

I feel sorry for the people who can't figure this out. Nice setup. Although I can't imagine would still be up in my part of the world. I had 150% more metal in my tower and 400% less antenna than this and it still bent in half during a storm.

Very nice! I'm thinking of putting up stacked 5's. How well do they tune and well do they tune? Do you get into your neighbors electronics or is the setup pretty friendly? Thanks and 73's

Lol I will be posting my 12 element with 85 ft boom ness crane 🏗 holding it 100acres of hood talking monster beam check itnout

it looks beautyfull .up there .wow..

should cut those trees back, you gotta do repairs sooner or later, save the hassle of breaking yer beams.

I normally don't waste my time writing insulting comments for lame videos, but I'm willing to make an exception, given that you've already wasted 4:43 of it. Deceptive title, to say the least.

Tower Great, Install Great, Polarization Wrong, Gain Lost Much!!!

They aren't stacked they are side by side 4 element beams set vertically 😂 Really waste all u need is 1 🤔 why 2 ?

How do you calculate how much load on raising cable?

that showed nothing

Should have turned them flat side and he could have ruled the world from that height...

You didn't show HOW you raised it. Pitiful video.

waste of time , I also thought by his title he would show how it was raised .

Why phase them together vertical polarized instead of horizontal polarized for skip as you lose around 20db from horizontal polarized antennas

Watch till the end he used a tow truck winch

Nobody owns impact drivers ???

obviously he used a heavy duty winch to raise it. i seen the cable

Was curious if you guyed the tower or if it is a freestanding that has large enough hunk of concrete in the ground that it doesn't need them? Great video! Hope you'll get you a climbing harness in case you do ever have to work on the rotor. I lost a ham radio friend 2 years ago on May 14, 2014, N4JA Jim Abercrombie, due to a tower accident. He fell from 80 feet up! A climbing harness may have saved his life. He had been a ham since the 1950s. I don't think he should have been up on it to begin with. 76 year old men don't need to be climbing towers! www.arrl.org/news/arrl-volunteer-dxer-james-h-jim-abercrombie-jr-n4ja-sk

Tip over towers are very weak... Antennas look good though...

Stacked 5's I meant!

Why do Ham and CB guys have yards that look like a garbage dump?

Show us yer leenyer!

Well that was a waste of my time

😳?? Polarisation verticale ? Pour le dx c’est pas terrible. Pourquoi en polarisation verticale ?

You call this the easy way?

I would stack them one above the other.

WTF????😈

Thanks for waisting my time.
