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 then the beam
above the rotor on a short mast.
You can put steps in the pole to climb up or rent a bucket truck.
Does Hazer or someone like it make a rail system to raise/lower antennas
on poles?

I just "inherited" a 50' (out of the ground, 6' buried) utility pole (crew
was taking it out and told me that if I'd drag it off the road, I could have

I'm thinking about trying to find a rotator and tri-bander to put on top of
it; but, having no experience with such a setup; I thought I'd seek some
advice first.
So, a few questions.
I'm sure someone has done this before; would you be able to share your
experiences?
I have a friend who can weld anything from steel to aluminum and so I think
we can fab up a mount for the rotor.
Beyond that, thoughts would be appreciated on things like:
Wind loading - how many sq ft (if any) is reasonable before I have to use
guys (for my HyGain AV18HT the building dept made me engineer the base for
90K winds, WITH a "wet stamped" drawing)?
Base - is a 6' hole filled with dirt "good enough" or do I need something
more (if more, would a 6' hole with concrete be sufficient)?
Thanks in advance!
