a 70ft pine.
I am trying to decide on a Rotor should the tree proposal win.
I have a Ham 3 and a Ham 4. They work fine, but i can refurb them prior to
install as
added insurance.
Hiya, Krish --
Either one will work FB with this relatively small antenna. I usually
steer my tree-mount customers towards TailTwisters because they are more
robust.
How are you going to mount the rotator? I use a 4' long or so piece of
galvanized water pipe and lag screw it to the tree (there's a horizontal piece
welded to the vertical pipe to provide torque resistance) with 4-5 half-inch
by six inch lag screws.
In this case the rotator is mast mounted. Hy-Gain has 2 mast mounting
brackets and either one will be fine. There is a small version for the Ham
series and a larger one for the T2X.
I suspect that the HOA will disapprove your tower which isn't fatal
since trees are unregulated!
