Hi,
I am putting up an 80' self supporting tower (AN Wireless HDD-80). I will be
using 2" chrome moly mast with ~ 10 ft of mast above the top of the tower. To
this mast I am planning on mounting a 7-30Mhz, 14 element LPDA and above it
approx. at the top (8' separation) a 50-1300 MHz LPDA both from Tennadyne.
While I have many questions the ones here I am seeking answers for are:
Should I lift the antennas already mounted on the mast and lower the entire
assembly into the tower and rotator, or should I have the mast already attached
to the rotator and lift (by crane) the antennas and mount them to the mast?
If the second option is the chosen method how do I attach the upper antenna (I
am tall but not ten feet tall)? Do I need to drill into the mast and place
steps into it?
Finally, are there any other approaches I should be considering?
Thanks!
