Greetings to the list. Has anyone here used a standard wooden
telephone/utility
pole to support an HF beam? I am thinking of having the local utility
install one
at my QTH. The big problem I see is how to support a rotor. Does anyone
make a
rotor and thrust bearing mount for such poles?

Barry,
At Fort Monmouth, K2USA, they had monobanders @ 100', on wooden poles.
Telrex fabricated a bracket system from angle iron, which was lag screwed
into the pole. You might conjur up something similar, or get someone
to pay a visit to the fort and take a picture of the mounts, to give
you an idea.
Telrex is no longer in business.
