I’m not an amateur radio operator but I am deeply involved with GMRS though (WRXY695). I’ve watched a lot of ‘antenna raising’ videos over the years but have NEVER seen one as ingenious as yours is! Absolutely fantastic! Great video! 73s! ~Jim in Houston,Texas~

Hello Jim, this is Daniel WSCE729. I’m interested to see what your needs, concerns and questions are regarding this product are. Also, let’s say you were to buy one for yourself or for your radio club, what would you be willing to pay for the ability to get this kind of height out of an antenna this easily?

This antenna system is so easy to set-up that I was raising each section using the manual winch by myself. At 60+ and a female thats saying alot. Also, I want our amateur radio club to help install antennas for our club members with the separating version. What an innovative idea. Ann KO4HYC

Hey there Daniel! Although I was very impressed with your antenna setup I wouldn’t be able to buy one. I was barely fortunate enough to be allowed to put up a 21’ pole and GMRS antenna on our property where I reside. Also, after retiring in 2015 from 38 years of cross country trucking I’ll be going back on the road soon to see all the things I didn’t get to see while trucking…so, that’s another reason [even if I ‘was’ allowed to put up such an elaborate system like yours]. I’ll be traveling more than I’ll be at home. Have a great day and stay safe! Best regards!

Cool. Reminds me of some of the antenna mast raising kits we used in the US Army Signal Corps for very tall supports for our many different wire antenna deployments we used out in the tactical work... or for our microwave dish raising on tall mast kits. Very good job! I really like how you tension up the guys. Very smart. 73 de NW7US

You are definitely the "MAD SCIENTIST KING" of antenna mast raising. That is a neat unique system that looks to be a very safe system to raising an antenna to a nice workable height.

The way you attach more poles is perfect for me. I love fabrication. I've had to make some stuff I didn't have to build antennas and I've even thought about melting plastic to make blocks for mounting elements on a beam. I made some from wood and painted them, but of course they didn't last too long. Antenna worked great. LOL

Great idea, a reverse drilling rig- upside down. Certainly too heavy for POTA or SOTA though, and I never met a fellow ham that would rent anything ham related! Did you happen to meet the only one in the world?? How well does it do in a wind storm??

There USED to be government surplus mast systems that needed 3 people to raise a mast 50 feet in the air. Guying along the way. It was a step-by-step procedure. I think the nomenclature was AB577 GRC...Ontario Surplus. I do not think they are offering this system anymore. But this video will help the ham op to get something up and running. 25 feet don't cut it.

@marlomontanaro3233 11 месяцев назад
Are you selling these? I could see one in my future if you did. My club would probably buy a couple of them also as we have two masts we use on Field Day that are "assemble and tilt/raise" style. We do have a 3rd that is very similar to this, military surplus, that cranks up all the sections at the same time (they are attached with straps internally inside a larger tube). However, it is a monster and only goes up 30 feet or so.

Hey Chad how does this work in windy conditions? What is the highest wind rating you have experience with this?
@HightowerFabrication
@HightowerFabrication 11 месяцев назад
I couldn’t give you an exact MPH Rating yet, but we had it set up for a solid 2 months in our lot (with no tripod just guys and masting) and it never fell or moved. so i’d say it’s pretty wind/weather resistant.
