Does anyone make a bracket for sidemounting a "fixed" yagi to Rohn 25 or Rohn 45? I don't want any rotating devices; I'm picturing a simple plate with holes for U-bolts. Of course I can make this mys
http://www.reprise.com/antronics/custom_fixed_sidemount.asp Of course I can make this myself - just wondering if any are available commercially... Tnx. Mike N2MG _____________________________________
Been there... they sell Rohn 55 stuff but no mention of Rohn 25 or 45. I've emailed them to see... Just to be clear, I don't need to tweak the antennas in azimuth at all - both of my towers were laye
this is also a great site for a diagram/graphic of how to plan your sidemounts so that your yagis doesn't hit the tower (clearance)... TT greatest hits page candidate :-) K4OJ
Mike, why can't you use the normal boom-to-mast bracket that the beam comes with, but use a tower leg for the "mast?" That's what I do... WB2WIK/6 "If everything seems under control, you're just not
DO NOT do this !!! Eventually you will wear through the tower leg. Danger. 73, Bruce K1MY comes simple available an http://www.mscomputer.com additional 5 percent off
Hi Mike, Try Doug W9IIX, of IIX Equipment, Ltd. http://www.W9IIX.COM/ Satisfied customer, and have known Doug for over 23 yrs now. Beefy products, fair price...if he don't stock it, give him an idea,
Bruce, I'm not sure what you are talking about 'wearing thought the leg'? I have had several antennas mounted to tower legs for a pretty long time with out any trouble. The only thing I can guess you
The biggest issue here is that the ubolts and the holes for the ubolts to clamp to a mast are not SIZED for a tower vertical member. There are brackets available which have various sizes which will p

Hi Mike, Re-read my e mail, I said " Eventually you will wear THROUGH the tower leg." That was in response to his thought that he might mount to ONE leg, not two. OK? 73, Bruce antennas Danger. 45. h
[Steve Katz] As I posted twice yesterday, I use 2" angle iron (steel) shims, placed 180 degrees opposing each other, between the round tower leg and the boom-to-mast plate. This provides the correct
Hi Steve, It may have worked for you, but the shims do nothing to relieve the twisting torque on the leg, which would be my main concern. I would have nightmares about brace welds ripping out of leg
[Steve Katz] Hi Steve, I agree with you. That's why I posted yesterday I wouldn't consider a 60' monobander clamped to the leg of a 25G; although I have side-mounted a 36' monobander to a single leg
Since your tower face "points" to your desired target (EU), just take a 1/4 inch aluminum plate and drill holes for 4 U-bolts (1-1/4 inch or 1-1/2 inch with PVC shims for the legs). Tom N4KG ________
