Have a question...
My new jin-pole hardware and thrust bearing need 2-inch OD mast...I am
having trouble finding 2-inch OD hardware for this. 2-inch EMT is 2-1/8"
OD and won't fit. EMT is probably strong enough for the jin-pole but not
the stinger. I can get rigid conduit which is 1-7/8" OD and probably OK
but heavier for the jin-pole handling up the tower. I have seen some
negative comments here on Tower Talk about using normal water pipe for
stingers, but those making the comments have had multiple large yagis
mounted above the tower. I will only have one TA-33 and one 440 yagi above
the tower. Question- will 1-1/2" schedule 40 galvanized water pipe be ok
for my installation? I would also appreciate comments on spacing of my
yagis above the tower (by the way Rohn 25 with flat top). Your comments and
ideas would be appreciated. Thanks in advance.
