Our field day team is planning to put up a SteppIR 2 element yagi (~25 pounds).
We'd like to mount the yagi ~20-30 feet high and would like mast
recommendations. This is only a field day (i.e. once a year) event so cost is
a factor, yet the mast should be strong enough so that we aren't out the price
of a replacement antenna. Our field day location will be in eastern WA where we
at times tend to get moderate winds (~10-20mph) coming through our campsite.
Thoughts?
A couple lengths of pipe with a coupler or lots of duct tape might work.
Armstrong rotator?
A 30 foot extension ladder (you can rent them pretty cheap) is another
good way. You can lash a rotator to it, it walks up pretty easily as
long as you have 3 or 4 people, and guy it with ropes and stakes.
Check your local rental yard.. they have all kinds of stuff that might
work out real well for you.
