Just for a bit of clarification:
After reading the previous postes I'm a little confused. How high are you
going before you put up the antennas and guys?
That size base isn't suficient to hold a 40 foot 25G and tribander without
guys except on a very calm day. I'd also be apprehensive about climbing 40 a
foot 25G without guys even on a calm day.
Fortunately 40 feet and a small tribander don't take an elaborate base and
guy system which becomes much more substantial in a hurry as you add height.
I have a rather simple and effective, but heavy gin pole I constructed. If
I can find everything I'll try and shoot some photos and put them up on my
site.
Good Luck and be careful.
