I found a TV rotor and a source in Alabama for Rohn Push up masts. A friend
in Louisiana advised me to use chain link fence railing. I am looking into
that angle. Several offered Rohn 25 and one Rohn 20 but I just have no
place for a second tower. The mast angle alongside the chimney is about the
only option except for using ropes a la Jay K4OGG.
I need about 8 or 10 more feet and that is why I am looking at the 50 foot
mast over the light weight versions sold by radio shack or Lowe's. I have
both the S version manual of the Cushcraft 5 and 6 element beam which gives
me the better element and taper spacing over the original versions. The 4
el Comet will QSY to St. Simons Island later this summer (rare rare grid
square).
If someone does have a 50 foot H version of the Rohn Push up mast lying
around I pay cash or perhaps trade (I have a Butternut HF-5B I might trade).
