Justin - Hex looks great! Mine is still in the "get it on the mast stage" and is only 4ft off the ground - but works. Mast is also a 28' ROHN. Hal, AF5J
The mast really starts leaning while installing so make sure to have a couple people on guy lines while you're raising it. Turns out I don't have enough rotor cable to go to full height so mine is stuck at 20'
@@N9TTK Yeah, I noticed that when I attached the 450 rotor. Realized its a push up mast and not a tilt over. Plan on raising with about 15' extended, mount the hex and then push up as high as I can, keeping it "behind" the house.
Do you think setting up a hexbeam straight on the rotor like that is strong enough for permanent setup? Or better use a side rotor mount? My mast is stronger than a pushup pole. 73
It was plenty strong in this configuration, I've since added a 2nd tower for the Hexbeam. It gets a bit top heavy pushing it up but once it's guyed there is no issue.
