TRUELY IMPRESSIVE!

Pretty slick. It really needs more guy points at that height though. Minimum of four to be strong enough for any sort of wind gust.

Couldn't those locking straps be better replaced with either a screw in joint, or a single locking pin? Might take a second longer to align the holes(or make it so a pole can only be inserted one way so the holes line up), but less tools and hardware needed. 1, 2 inch pin with a lock is smaller than those straps.

It looks like an oil drill, but in reverse.

So why not zip tie the coax to the mast as you go up? Do you just leave it hanging 60'? Thanks for the video

My name is Daniel McHan. GMRS call sign is WSCE729. I am the COO of Hightower Fabrication. I wanted to let everyone know that we are looking to manufacture this apparatus and sell it those that are interested. I’d like to know what you guys are looking to get out of this product. What are your needs, concerns and any questions let me know by responding to this comment, thank you.

I’m not an amateur radio operator but I am deeply involved with GMRS though (WRXY695). I’ve watched a lot of ‘antenna raising’ videos over the years but have NEVER seen one as ingenious as yours is! Absolutely fantastic! Great video! 73s! ~Jim in Houston,Texas~

Hello Jim, this is Daniel WSCE729. I’m interested to see what your needs, concerns and questions are regarding this product are. Also, let’s say you were to buy one for yourself or for your radio club, what would you be willing to pay for the ability to get this kind of height out of an antenna this easily?

Thank you! Quick question, what do you think the ability to raise your antennas to such a height this easily would be worth to your pocket if you were ever to purchase one?

You cant do a video about a mast with all those tall trees in the background 😂 I would use them anytime. Nice job though

@OfficialTEG Ай бұрын

Are you gonna climb that tree or you gonna let this mast do all that work for you?

@DavidLopez-bz4rj Ай бұрын

@@OfficialTEG I made a BIG slingshot, no need to climb and really fun to shoot. Bad thing about trees is swaying in the wind. I use both, trees and masts.

@TOTALLYRELAXED Ай бұрын

Hey there Daniel! Although I was very impressed with your antenna setup I wouldn’t be able to buy one. I was barely fortunate enough to be allowed to put up a 21’ pole and GMRS antenna on our property where I reside. Also, after retiring in 2015 from 38 years of cross country trucking I’ll be going back on the road soon to see all the things I didn’t get to see while trucking…so, that’s another reason [even if I ‘was’ allowed to put up such an elaborate system like yours]. I’ll be traveling more than I’ll be at home. Have a great day and stay safe! Best regards!

@adriancressy8363 9 ай бұрын

There USED to be government surplus mast systems that needed 3 people to raise a mast 50 feet in the air. Guying along the way. It was a step-by-step procedure. I think the nomenclature was AB577 GRC...Ontario Surplus. I do not think they are offering this system anymore. But this video will help the ham op to get something up and running. 25 feet don't cut it.

You are definitely the "MAD SCIENTIST KING" of antenna mast raising. That is a neat unique system that looks to be a very safe system to raising an antenna to a nice workable height.

@marlomontanaro3233 Жыл бұрын

Are you selling these? I could see one in my future if you did. My club would probably buy a couple of them also as we have two masts we use on Field Day that are "assemble and tilt/raise" style. We do have a 3rd that is very similar to this, military surplus, that cranks up all the sections at the same time (they are attached with straps internally inside a larger tube). However, it is a monster and only goes up 30 feet or so.
