[TowerTalk] 80m/40m Force12 mag 2/2 Yagi

[Al Williams]

I am planning on installing subject beam at 85' using the Orion 2800
rotator--both already on hand.
These 80m yagi posting have me wondering what problems I may be facing.  My
plan is to install
one set of elements on the boom at ground level (crankup tower), raise the
tower to vertical and
then rotate the boom 180 degrees.  Lower the tower and install the opposite
end elements.

Never having had a tower higher than 35', I will appreciate all comments.

BTW, I was mostly interested in a 40m beam but decided to add 80m!
