Simple ... put steps on the mast! Or .. feed the mast up through the center of the tower before the rotator is installed, and add aerials as it goes thru the thrust bearing on its way up! I've used h
Using a come-along to raise the mast through the thrust bearing(s) after the antennas are installed is a problem, as the mast binds as it is pulled slightly to the side as raised. To overcome that si
Yep .. know about that poundage .. been there, done that, quite a few times ... never a 30 foot mast, though ... whew! For my own station, once had 22 feet mast, a REAL Hy-Gain Long John, 15M mono ..

I enjoy to watch all the traffic that goes on, including the buy-sell stuff .. my delete key works swell, and I joined this reflector to get information that I could not obtain at the local ham club
As to 600 ohm systems .. I seem to recall that the usual 3 wire line used in broadcast studios, etc. , was about 150 ohms, or so. In the days before the ubiquitous op-amp, impedance matching was not
In my experience ... ditch the torque bars. I concur with Rohn .. no value in ordinary service. I could go on, but others with a better command of engineering language will comment, I am sure. I used
