Static mobile ?


Here,s some pics of my mast set up I made recently.The mast itself I've had since '97 and some of the clamps, everything else was written of as a business expense. (shhhh)

http://www.dropbox.com/s/pltwi6luk5zeju4/antenna1a.jpg?dl=0

Its a 12inch K bracket I attacked with the angle grinder with a heavy duty joist hanger welded to it( not much ground clearance)

T bracket fixed on Rhino bar with 4x hose clips and a piece of 41mmx41mm unistrut.

Takes about 15mins to fit (now!)ready for the off.(mast extends 7M AFL..5 above van roof)

Beam photos were for test only as rotor and extra mast section are to be tried out this weekend. Box on mast houses air choke.

Not sure the mast would take a vertical on top(I use a shakespeare big stick 3 (2)) of the beam , its been either one or the other.
Only 210m ASL i,m afraid but seeing home QTH is about 60m ASL (I think), for a couple of miles drive through the back roads a gain of 150 meter's isn't to bad.

Brilliant. How is the bottom bracket fixed and is it homemade?

Re: Static mobile ?


Theres a towing eye bracket that has two holes in the horizontal part,I dropped a 10mm bolt through each one with a large square washer and then a normal washer and lock nut to hold in place-this leaves the two threaded studs hanging down ready to accept the bottem k bracket. These bolts stay in place all the time and I just wrap a bit of tape around the threads to protect them when driving about for daily use, I do need to add some square washer packers between tow eye and k bracket ( 4 nearest back of van bolt and 3 on the other one)
Hope that's clear

Yes I think I got the jest of that. Where is the bottom k bracket from or is it something you've made?
Thanks for the info by the way.
