Re: [TowerTalk] FW: Installing large Yagi

[Mike <k4gmh@arrl.net>]

Hello Tom,

You may want to look into using a PVRC Mount and assembling the TA-53 at 
the top to see if this approach can work in your situation.  This technique 
was used to assemble a 4 element SteppIR at the 130 ft level on a guyed 
Rohn 45 tower with a F12 EF240X on the mast 14 feet above.
