Best FD mast I've used was the two years when two of us ran 1B (5wts
battery). The transportable mast - better known as a bucket truck - was
borrowed from the local cable company (the other ham was highly placed
there). Put beam on short mast threaded thru a few cinder blocks, a rope on
the front of the beam boom for rotating, and hung a couple of inverted Vees
for 40 and 80 off the side. Set everything up on the ground and then hit
the up button. Reversed process at tear-down.
Think sign company, local contractor, communications or hydro(electric)
company... one of your club members probably has a connection.
CU on FD from VE3MIS 11A or 12A - no ladder masts or bucket trucks - HI.
73,
George VE3YV
