I'm thinking about using standard "heavy duty" 16 guage 1.25" steel TV mast
as a temporary support for the middle of my trap dipole. This is not
"telescoping" push-up mast, but rather the standard stuff that you see
on top of everyone's roof - one end swaged down to slip into the next
section.
Does anyone know if you can walk up a 30 or even 40 foot long hunk
of this stuff? I have no idea how they install it on roofs - I have seen
what
looks like 30' of it fairly frequently. I assume they assemble the pieces
on
the roof, and then walk it up as one piece - does anyone know if that is
right?
I know it needs to be guyed at every 10' joint. It is only going to be up
for 3 days,
so I don't need it to be too strong. I'm just not sure how to get it
vertical in the
first place...
Thanks!
***dan, K6IF
