SAID TO US THE FIRST TIME HE READ THE SPEC'S ON THIS ANTENNA!
AND YOU THOUGHT WE WERE KIDDING ABOUT THE SIZE
LOOK HOW THE WIND IS BLOWING ON THE ANTENNA - IT WAS A CHALLENGE AT 400'
THE ROPE IS BEING BLOWN "WAY OUT THERE" BY THE HEAVY WINDS
OVER 30 ANTENNAS ON THIS 400' COMMERCIAL TOWER
THANKS TO MIKE - KB9JXZ FOR THE EXPERT INSTALL
ALONG WITH KEN - KB9I HELPING AT THE TOP
TRIPLE CLAMPING THE ANTENNA DIRECT TO A TOWER LEG
NO WAY WE WOULD USE THE WIMPY STANDOFF FOR THIS "HONKER"
THE OLD VHF 4 DIPOLE (TO COME DOWN NEXT) IS AT THE FAR LEFT
MIKE (KB9JXZ) IS OUT ON THE ARM REMOVING THE OLD ANTENNA
DOWN COMES THE OLD ANTENNA AND THE GIN POLE
THE NEW "CROWN JEWEL" OF THE 400' TOWER NEED A DUAL BAND ANTENNA?
TRY THIS ONE ON FOR SIZE
