Love the content. I would add a gin pole would reduce the stress/strain on the winch/raising mechanism and the structure itself. Best DX!

LOL, I live in NY but my Son is a Lee County Commissioner in Sanford, NC and grand son on Benhaven FD! I have two Ham Antennas but no tower yet, my next Ham investment.

He is using white zip ties to hold the coax to the boom. Bad idea as the white zip ties fail quickly due to UV from the sun. He should use the UV rated black zip ties or wire twisted around the boom to hold the coax in place.

I would never stand anywhere near that Cable under tension, if failed, could almost cut a person in half.

@@Coolbreeze61 I agree with markmanning. YOU WERE IN THE LINE OF FIRE! Look at the video at ---> 9:31 If that steel cable snaps it's headed right toward the base of that tower. And that's right where you were!

We found that white/clear cable ties deteriorated with exposure to UV over time and would break. Black holds up far better.

its very dangerous with the steel wire....

That 2m beam isn't mounted correctly. If you mount a vertically polarized beam on a vertical mast pipe, the mast acts like an extra element in the wrong place and destroys the pattern and gain of the antenna. Vertically polarized beams should always be mounted on a cross boom (like the 440 beams in this video).

That's it, leave us hanging? Why didn't you show us up close it standing and connected to the base?

Sorry about that, drone battery was going dead and my other camera just wouldn't start (electronics don't always work like they are supposed to)

It would’ve made a better video if we had seen it raised to full height.

@Coolbreeze61 Ай бұрын

Yes I should have done that and shown it in action by actually thickening something

People just don't care anymore, you know, like asking a question without a question mark.

Because good music costs money.
