Good Afternoon Ken, Yes, I have done just that. I fabricated a new and improved coax arm. The coax arm is (I think) a 3/4" square tubing which is secured to the tower with 2 bolts. The tube extends out 12 inches or so, and there is a steel ring which your coax goes through. All I did was to take a piece of square tubing run it out another 2 feet. I welded a ring for the coax so it passes through it. I welded an upright (round tube) to the end. My discone is on this. I welded a ring underneath the discone support tube. I attached a pulley, and voila! A dipole support!! The steel ran me lunch at McDonalds for my friend. I used my buzz box. And off to HD for a 4 dollar can of cold galvanizing. Less than 10 dollars. Beauty! 73--Wally W9BEA Has anyone come up with a method of attaching a small VHF or UHF antenna at _________________________________________________________________ Don?t just search. Find.
