I Clay, I have no personal experience with this product, but I think this is what you're looking for: RM-2 Pole/Building Mount - http://www.w9iix.com/mounts.htm 73, Jon Pearl - W4ABC www.w4abc.com On
Lucky you to get such a pole for free!!! :D) Use NO concrete! The pole will shrink a little over time and there will be a crack to let water in and stay there, accelerating the rotting of your pole!

My neighbor, N6RZ (SK) had a 3-el 20M monobander on a telephone pole in his front yard. He had a long 2M Yagi on another such pole. I helped his widow dispose of his stuff, and organized the parties
A pole like this is a great find. A pole set crew with an auger can plant your pole properly in short order. Digging a hole deep enough to plant it safely is a big job. Think about hiring a local pol
I have no experience using a utility but have gave it some thought while driving the country road's in east Texas. There it was in the front yard, looked like about 50 ft of pole out of the ground..
Clay, I remember in the old days that 10 % of the pole needed to be in the ground. At the old N6DX contest station, there were two 80 - 90 ft poles, but because of the large antennas on the poles, th
If you have a rotor that has bottom assembly that you can attach to a mast then buy a 10 ft section of heavy duty Schedule XXXX pipe and bolt it to the top of the pole. Mount your rotor on that and t

Depending on the top diameter of the pole a top section of a Rohn 25 can fit over the top and be securely bolted or lagged in place This makes the antenna mounting and rotor plate easier to work with

It seems only one responder stated a tiltover arrangement would allow antenna maintenance/repair without having to climb it or rent a bucket truck. A winch + pulley setup is used to haul it up/down.
Sure it has been done before. Telrex used to make a pole mount. I guess you would have to add spikes to climb the pole and find an installation crew to set it in the ground. If you had trouble gettin
Thanks to all who replied - tried looking for a BSP on wood poles and couldn't find the correct index. Any assistance there would be appreciated. I'm going to look into some sort of tilt-up "attached
