Anyone using the US Tower IV-16 inverted V bracket? I have one installed here, and have already seen it spin around approx. 90-120 degrees while rotating the antenna stack, and it almost yanked
I have one and stopped using it, even though I greased it and the mast, due to the friction/pressure on the mast for the beam and extra load on the rotator. Have gone to a fixed steel crossmember to
I have used one for about 15 years with no issues. I do use two bunji cords to keep it oriented but the inverted vee has enough tension to keep it from rotating. The bunjis are wrapped around the top
I never heard of that thingie... thank goodness as I might have thought of trying it ,,, sounds like a disaster waiting to happen.,... i'll stick to hanging stuff off the top section.... bill /3 ____
Eric, I currently use this bracket on 72 ft tower. U used white lithium grease to line it and also I don't use as inv vee.I use as dipole support so I am not pulling down but instead straight out. Ji
I think the biggest problem with this design is the fact that the dipoles are pulling downward instead of horizontally, thus causing it to bind with the mast no matter how well lubricated it is. Aft
