Real world, real time, real practical demonstration. So many other talk and talk and show off videos on KZfaq. Yours is refreshing because you showed every single step of the project in real time. Nice work.

Kept waiting to see the camera shot of the mast fully extended.

I have the same mast and those anchors i guy with 8 precut guys, hook em in, get on the ladder and push each segment up until it's all tight. In an HOA so it only goes up a couple times a month for NVIS nets! Great video!

I have mine mounted on top of a bucket filled with concrete with a pvc pipe sleeved into the bottom piece. It's guyed in four places at four levels with a GP-9 antenna on top. This makes the total height from ground to tip about 65ft and I leave it up year round. It has survived 60mph wind gusts without issue.

I put one up 33 ft on a 15ft deck. I used ratchet straps around the corner post. It’s lasted 120mph wind gust in 4 years. The only problem is the fiberglass weathers quickly and will set your hands on fire. Spray with flex seal liquid or clear coat every few years. I drilled a few holes the top and use eye bolts with 550 chord to raise and lower the antennas. Sure beats raising and lowering the mast. I have one corner of a delta loop on one side and a double bazooka on the other.

That is an extremely cool install, for wire,,,,now i gotta get one,,,looks like fun puttin it up. And looks way solid,,,i got the wino 43 footer for sota, pota,,,but that dx looks great for permanent wire, at home, i thing theyre about 180 ish now,,,gotta get me one, after this cool vid,,,get even more wire up, out back,,,thanks for posting,,,just subbed,,,,de NV1H😎

Ratchet straps would work well for securing the mast to the post as well. And far less of a hassle to remove if you ever need/want to take the mast down for whatever reason.

give that man a cigar cheers from uk

wow that's big. You can't really appreciate the size until you see a person for scale next to it LOL. had no idea it was so big.

I'm sure you already knew or know, if you don't need the entire height you can partially extend the sections rather than full deployment and make you sections more rigid and stronger. That's what I do with mine. Just a little info for everyone. Great video. ✌✌

I use a 40ft spiderbeam hd mast just cargo strapped to a post roughly same size as yours which is concreted into the ground n yes it whips about in the wind but only supports an efhw wire so fingers crossed it wont snap but its been up a year now with no guys

A hose clamp would allow easy tightening around the support post and mast. Just put those over the support post first, slide the mast through the hose clamps and slide up.

I wonder if you could sink the bottom section into the ground a few feet, then strap it to ,the post? This might allow you to extend the mast while standing on ground level?

You got a ladder! 😂

How did you solve the wobbling that you mention in the video? Guy wires? And if so, how many levels of guy wires? Is one enough?

I ended up putting hose clamps on it. It started collapsing once I put a 2 meter 5 element antenna and rotter on it.

I subscribed because I’m curious of what you are going to put on that mast !

SORRY TO BOTHER YOU LOOKS GOOD FOR WHERE I LIVE IN UK,CAN IT HOLD A ANTENNA ARE BEAM ON TOP

Since this video is 6 months old you have some user data. How is it holding up in the wind? Any collapsing of the sections? What do you have on it?

How big is the shipping package? Is it just as long as the sections, or longer? I need to make sure of parcel receiving company will take this oversized shipment.

How is this mast holding up? I’m wondering if it’s suitable for permanent installation.

Thank you for sharing. VE3ITU.

Without a shim that metal strap is going to eat into the fiberglass over time.

Thanks for the video. I work on a ship 30 days on/ 30 off and looking for a solution something I can lower when at work. This looks very rugged and able to raise lower every month. Price is $196.99 as of today 8 December 23.

Now that the Mast is up....what is the next step/next video?

No antenna?

If you don’t use all sections, leave the smallest diameters collapsed.

Price and link i want something like that 25 to 30 ft for my waveform 4×4 mimo panel antenna

I don’t want to say anything derogatory. I hope your liability insurance is paid up.

Will there be a video when it falls Put a live cam on it pls 😂

Don’t know the outer diameter of the bottom section but it might slip inside a pvc pipe that is in 5 ft. of concrete. Securing it to the wooden post is very amateurish construction.
