Put the guys as you normally would, just put one set BELOW the 'swinging gate'. 73 Don N8DE Stupid question, but I want to make sure I'm visualizing this correctly. I'm planning a new tower installat
Dan, I think you would be happy with guying the tower at approximately 225 degrees, 345 degrees and 105 degrees and having the rotator sit off the leg that is in the 105 degree direction. Assuming yo
Dan, I had a 150ft Rohn 45 stick when I lived in Manassas, Va back in the late '90s. There was a 4 x 4 x 4 stack of HyGain 204ba antennas on the tower with two side mounted and the third just over 16

That sounds pretty close..I was very pleased with my set up and the side arm mounts worked great. - M On 5/29/2013 1:52 PM, Mike Ryan wrote: Dan, I had a 150ft Rohn 45 stick when I lived in Manassas,
Been doing swinging arms for years... Make sure the tower face is set in such a way as to allow the rotation in the direction you want. You can make a model of this on a piece of acetate over a drawi

Hmm. Maybe what I'm thinking of doing isn't practical. I was going to use one swing-gate to rotate two HF yagis, both small three element types spaced about 8 feet. Tower is 45G. Not a good idea? 73,
For smaller antennas it would not be an issue. I never expereienced that with my 6 el 10s. However on my Rohn 55 had a 5 el 40+ ft boom (10 ft2 wind load) and the antenna mast was about 2 feet from t
Which is why I always chuckle when someone, apparently thinking of their tower as some sort of rigid rod (sorry about that :-)), agonizes over their rotator brake. Now mine never did that. You could
