Last year a local ham put up a stacked array on a water pipe mast. During a winter storm, it bent about 20 degrees just above the snorkel on the Rohn 25. He seems to think he can attach a line and be

It's pretty clear your friend should contract the job out to a professional. I assume the idea of bending the mast back would involve attaching a line to the top of the mast and pulling on it with a

Roger... Several years ago I had the same problem with a bent mast and TH7 with a 2 meter antenna above it. Also keep in mind I had a "schedule 80" mast pipe in place. After several of us had headscr

Clearly a crane is the SAFEST solution. That said, here is my experience with a bent water pipe: I use a water pipe stuck in the ground to assemble (and store) antennas. I had a couple of 3L20's plus

It's unfortunate that the guy didn't submit a claim to his insurance because it would have been covered but he's probably missed the 30-day window for submitting a claim. Then he could've had profess

Son of a gun. I gotta congratulate this gentleman on the size of his cojones. My yellow stripe might be showing here, but no way on God's green earth would I have the moxie to try this. Mechanically,
