Greetings. I need to get a 16ft mast down the center of a tower which is
already standing. I don't have a gin pole available, and it's not feasible to
remove enough braces to get it up from the bottom. I was thinking about two
8ft sections of mast, which I could handle down the top or from the bottom
without a problem. This is a non-rotating mast, the bottom will be clamped on
a rotator shelf with a GM MC-10 mast adapter. I would like to use 2" alum mast.
Do they make mast couplers that would enable me to splice two sections securely?
Thanks - Jeff, WB2RUZ
