Let me toss this out for consideration. I too have the situation where I need a large hole for an LM-470 base. I thought about contacting a "Tree Planter" and getting him to use his big Auger to bore
If my math is correct (only took off the left shoe), the LM-470 requires a base 3.5' X 3.5' X 7.5'. that equals a 4' diameter by 7.5' deep hole. Now I need to talk to the Tower folks and see if they

I have received a lot of suggestions for my new antenna, for which I thank one and all. One question though; since I will be using a Crank-Up/Tilt-Over I wonder how folks can get to the antenna when
In all the suggestions I received, no one has mentioned the HEX Beam. A friend of mine back East suggested I look at it. Has anyone had First-Hand experience with it and would you care to comment on
